Export and Import Configuration Settings

See the nnmconfigexport.ovpl and nnmconfigimport.ovpl Reference Pages for more information, including the complete list of the command line arguments for each command.

The choices that you make when exporting NNMi configuration settings determine how that configuration information can be used. For example:

• Export a copy of the existing NNMi configuration settings before you try experimenting with a new idea. You can use that exported file to restore your configuration settings if your experiment does not work the way you thought it would work.
• Export the NNMi configuration settings from a server in your test environment. Import those configuration settings onto the NNMi management server that your team will use to manage your network environment.
• Export the NNMi configuration settings for one or more configuration workspaces and import that configuration using the -sync option to exactly replicate the configuration between two NNMi management servers.
• (NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) Export configuration settings to share configuration settings among the Regional Managers in your network environment (for example, Node Group definitions and Trap Forward to Global Managers settings).
