Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Track Your NNMi Licenses
To assist you in tracking your NNMi licenses, NNMi displays a status message at the bottom of the main console whenever the number of nodes in the database reaches your licensed capacity limit (compared to the number of nodes discovered). Install additional licenses (for 50 node increments or more) to extend the limit.
To see a report of the current number of discovered nodes and the current NNMi licensed capacity limit, access View Licensing Information from either of the following locations:
- Help → About Network Node Manager i software
- Help → System Information on the Product tab.
There are five categories of NNMi Software Licenses. Within each category, there are three types (instant-on, temporary, or permanent):
- Network Node Manager i
- Network Node Manager i Advanced
- Network Node Manager i Premium
- Network Node Manager i Ultimate
- Network Node Manager Developer Toolkit (licenses for developers - SDK licenses).
When tracking license information, note the following:
-
Consumption: NNMi discovers and manages nodes up to the NNMi licensed capacity limit (rounded up):
- VMwareVMware ESX and VMware ESXi software uses SOAP protocol to implement bare-metal hypervisors. environments: Each device with a Device Profile of
vmwareVMis equivalent to 1/10th node. - HPE Helion OpenStack KVM environments: Each device with a Device Profile of
kvmVMis equivalent to 1/10th node. - All other devices are equivalent to one discovered node.
- VMwareVMware ESX and VMware ESXi software uses SOAP protocol to implement bare-metal hypervisors. environments: Each device with a Device Profile of
-
If the number of discovered nodes reaches or exceeds the licensed capacity limit, no new nodes are discovered unless one of the following occurs:
- Install a license extension, see Extend a Licensed Capacity.
- Review your configuration settings and limit NNMi discovery to only the important nodes in your network environment (see Discover Your Network). Then, delete nodes and let NNMi rediscovery reset the managed inventory of nodes (see Delete Nodes).
-
NNMi generates Incidents under the following circumstances:
- The number of discovered nodes exceeds the current licensed capacity limit.
- An Instant-On or Temporary license expires.
- Network Node Manager i Software Smart Plug-ins (iSPIs) are purchased and installed on the NNMi management server. However, the NNMi licensed capacity limit does not match the NNM iSPI licensed capacity limit. See Purchase Network Node Manager i Smart Plug-ins and More for more information about the NNM iSPIs.
