NNM iSPI Network Engineering Toolset Software and NNMi Running under HA

The NNM iSPI Network Engineering Toolset Software SNMP trap analytics and Microsoft Visio export functionality are automatically installed with the NNMi Premium or NNMi Ultimate products. No extra work is needed to run these tools under HA.

The NNM iSPI NET Diagnostics Server cannot be included in the NNMi HA resource group. Do not install this component on the NNMi management server. To run the NNM iSPI NET Diagnostics Server on a system that is outside the NNMi HA resource group, follow these steps:

The NNM iSPI NET Diagnostics Server requires an NNM iSPI NET or NNMi Ultimate license. See the NNM iSPI Network Engineering Toolset Software Interactive Installation and Upgrade Guide for information about how to install and configure this server.

  1. Completely configure the NNMi HA resource group.
  2. Install the NNM iSPI NET Diagnostics Server on a system that is outside the NNMi HA resource group. During the NNM iSPI NET Diagnostics Server installation process, supply the NNMi HA resource group virtual hostname as the NNM Server Hostname.

    For more information, see the NNM iSPI Network Engineering Toolset Software Planning and Installation Guide.

If the NNM iSPI NET Diagnostics Server is already installed on an NNMi management server that will run under HA, uninstall the NNM iSPI NET Diagnostics Server before configuring NNMi to run under HA.

Caution Uninstalling the NNM iSPI NET Diagnostics Server removes all existing reports.

Note   It might be possible to save existing reports, as described here, but the following procedure is untested:

  1. Use MySQL Workbench to perform a backup of the existing nnminet database.

    MySQL Workbench is available in the downloads area at dev.mysql.com.

  2. Uninstall the NNM iSPI NET Diagnostics Server.
  3. Configure NNMi to run under HA.
  4. Install the NNM iSPI NET Diagnostics Server on a separate system.
  5. Before running any flows, use MySQL Workbench to recover the nnminet database onto the new installation.
