Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Working with Certificates in High-Availability Environments
This section describes how to configure NNMi to use Self-Signed or Certificate Authority Certificates in an HA environment.
Using Certificates with HA
Note NNMi10.30 introduces a Public Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #12 repository to store certificates. The new PKCS #12 file-based certificate management technique is available for use as soon as you install a new instance of NNMi10.30 on a system. Environments upgraded from an older version of NNMi continue to use a JKS repository to store certificates.
In upgraded environments, you can migrate to the PKCS #12 repository by using the steps in Configure an Upgraded NNMi Environment to Use the New Keystore.
If you have upgraded to NNMi10.30 and did not complete the steps in Configure an Upgraded NNMi Environment to Use the New Keystore, skip to Working with Certificates in High-Availability Environments.
Configuring High-Availability Using Default Certificates
The process for configuring NNMi for HA correctly shares the default self-signed certificate among the primary and secondary cluster nodes. You do not need to take any extra steps to use the default certificate with NNMi running under HA.
Configuring High-Availability Using New Certificates
This section creates a new self-signed or CA certificate, referred to as newcert
. Complete the following steps to configure HA with this new CA or self-signed certificate.
Note When making file changes under High Availability (HA), you must make the changes on both nodes in the cluster. If the change requires you to stop and restart the NNMi management server, you must put the nodes in maintenance mode before running the ovstop
and ovstart
commands. See Maintenance Mode for more information.
Tip You can complete this procedure before or after configuring NNMi for HA, as described in Shared NNMi Data in High Availability Environments.

Change to the following directory on
NNMi_HA1
before completing step 2:- Windows:
%NnmDataDir%\shared\nnm\certificates
- Linux:
$NnmDataDir/shared/nnm/certificates
- Windows:
-
On
NNMi_HA1
, run the following commands to importnewcert
into thennm-key.p12
file:- Windows:
%NnmInstallDir%\bin\nnmkeytool.ovpl -import -alias newcert_Alias -storetype PKCS12 -keystore nnm-key.p12 -file newcert
- Linux:
$NnmInstallDir/bin/nnmkeytool.ovpl -import -alias newcert_Alias -storetype PKCS12 -keystore nnm-key.p12 -file newcert
