Global Manager: Configure Custom Attribute Replication

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the Global Network Management form: r Custom Attribute Replication tab.]

(NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) As administrator, you configure which Custom Attributes from the Regional Managers are visible in the Global Manager.

Tip If the group of nodes being managed by a Regional Manager includes nodes already being managed by the Global Manager, the duplicate information from the Regional Manager is not imported into the Global Manager's database. If two Regional Managers are managing the same node, only the first instance to be forwarded is added to the Global Manager's database.

To configure the Custom Attribute replication from the command line:

See the nnmgnmattrcfg.ovpl Reference Page.

To configure the Custom Attribute replication in the console:

Navigate to the Custom Attribute Replication form.
1. From the workspace navigation panel, select the Configuration workspace.
2. Select the Global Network Management form
3. Select the Custom Attribute Replication tab.
4. Do one of the following:
  - To create a new configuration, click the New icon.
  - To delete a configuration, click the Delete icon.
    
    Caution When you remove a Custom Attribute name using this procedure, NNMi removes matching name/value pairs from all remote objects in your NNMi database. This means both Custom Attributes that were manually added or Replicated are removed from remote objects. See Also
Type the text string representing the name of the Custom Attribute as it is defined on the Regional Manager, case-sensitive:
- Maximum of 50 characters.
- Allowed: Alpha-numeric, spaces, and special characters (~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _+ -)
- Not Allowed: Regular Expressions
Tip Contact the NNMi administrator for that Regional Manager to request the CSV file they use to define Custom Attributes. Then you can easily copy-paste the name. For details about the CSV file, see the nnmloadattributes.ovpl Reference Page.
Click Save and Close to return to the Global Network Management form.
Click Save and Close.

After the next Discovery cycle, NNMi displays that Custom Attribute in the appropriate form (Node, Interface, Chassis, Card), if available from the Regional Manager.
