Modifying Simultaneous SNMP Requests

NNMi maintains a limit of three simultaneous SNMP requests to a node. This reduces the risk of a node’s SNMP agents dropping responses.

You can adjust this value higher, resulting in increased discovery speed. However, if you set the value too high, you increase the risk of dropped responses and reduced discovery accuracy.

If you want to modify this limit, follow these steps:

1. Edit the following file:

   • Windows: %NNM_PROPS%\nms-communication.properties
   • UNIX: $NNM_PROPS/nms-communication.properties

2. To increase the current number of simultaneous SNMP requests to a node, do the following:

   1. Look for a line the resembles the following:

      #!com.hp.ov.nms.comm.snmp.maxConcurrentRequests=3
      

   2. Un-comment the property:

      com.hp.ov.nms.comm.snmp.maxConcurrentRequests=3

      Note To un-comment a property, remove the #! characters from the beginning of a line.
      

   3. Change the existing value to the number of desired simultaneous SNMP requests to a node.
   4. Save your changes.

3. Restart the NNMi management server.

   1. Run the ovstop command on the NNMi management server.
   2. Run the ovstart command on the NNMi management server.
