Determine the State of the Connection to a Regional Manager

(NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) NNMi provides the Connection State attribute to help you track the health of communication connections between Global Managers and Regional Managers in your network environment. The table below describes each possible Connection State value.

To verify the state of the communication connection between NNMi management servers:

  1. Open the NNMi console on the Global Manager (NNMi management server).
  2. Select the Regional Manager Connections tab.
  3. Locate the Connection State column in this view.
  4. Check the Connection State value for each Regional NNMi management server.

Possible States for Regional Manager Connections
Connection State Description
Not Established The connection configuration was recently saved, and NNMi is attempting to establish the connection.
Partial Connection The connection state is transitioning between states due to a recent change in your network environment or a change in NNMi configuration settings.
Connected Communication between the two NNMi management servers is working properly.
Not Connected

An error occurred and the connection failed.

Check the Regional Management Server configuration settings. Perhaps one of the designated port numbers is not correct? See Global Manager: Connect to a Regional Manager.

Perhaps the Regional NNMi management server is currently down? See Troubleshoot Global Network Management.
