Moving the NNMi Configuration

Use the nnmconfigexport.ovpl command to output the NNMi configuration to an XML file. Then, use the nnmconfigimport.ovpl command to pull this configuration from the XML file into NNMi on the new system.

Caution Do not edit a file exported with the nnmconfigexport.ovpl script before using the nnmconfigimport.ovpl script to import the file.

For information about these commands, see the appropriate reference pages, or the Linux manpages.

Tip The nnmconfigexport.ovpl command does not retain SNMPv3 credentials. For more information, see the nnmconfigexport.ovpl reference page, or the Linux manpage.

Note You can only move the NNMi configuration. does not support moving topology or incident data from one NNMi management server to a different NNMi management server. Nor does support moving iSPI data, such as performance data that was collected for the NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics.
