Enable HTTP to Communicate with Hypervisors

By default. NNMi uses the HTTPS protocol to communicate with hypervisors.

If you need to use HTTP, add the required property to the server.properties file:

1. Navigate to the server.properties file:

   Windows:

   %NnmDataDir%\nmsas\NNM\server.properties

   Linux:

   $NnmDataDir/nmsas/NNM/server.properties

2. Add the following lines:

   #Determines whether http should be used to communicate with SOAP agents such as the VMware vSphere API.

   # recommends this property only be enabled in demonstration or test environments and that HTTPS be

   #configured for production environments.

   nms.comm.soap.targetconfig.HTTP_ENABLED=true

3. Restart the NNMi management server:

   Run the ovstop command on the NNMi management server.

   Run the ovstart command on the NNMi management server.

    

To disable HTTP for hypervisor communication:

1. Navigate to the server.properties file:

   Windows:

   %NnmDataDir%\nmsas\NNM\server.properties

   Linux:

   $NnmDataDir/nmsas/NNM/server.properties

2. Change the HTTP_ENABLED property value to false:

   nms.comm.soap.targetconfig.HTTP_ENABLED=false

3. Restart the NNMi management server:

   Run the ovstop command on the NNMi management server.

   Run the ovstart command on the NNMi management server.
