Recalculate Management Mode for Out of Sync Physical Components

NNMi enables NNMi administrators to recalculate the Management Mode of any physical components that have a Direct Management Mode of Inherited.

Use this option if you notice that the Direct Management Mode of a physical component is Inherited, but its Management Mode does not match the Management Mode of the object from which the Management Mode was inherited. For example, the Management Mode of a card might be inherited from the chassis on which it resides.

The following diagram illustrates the possible parent child relationships that might occur between a node and its physical components (chassis or card).


As an NNMi administrator, you can recalculate the Management Mode from a selected node, chassis or card:

  1. Navigate to the Inventory view that contains the parent object.
  2. Right-click the object and select Management Mode>Recalculate Out of Sync Physical Components.

    Starting with the node, NNMi then recalculates each child object's Management Mode based on the Management Mode settings in the node hierarchy.

    The Management Mode of all physical components in the node hierarchy is recalculated, no matter which physical component is selected. For example, if you select a card object, NNMi recalculates the Management Mode for the node and any chassis and cards in the node hierarchy.

    The Management Mode of any Physical Sensor object that resides on a physical component in the node hierarchy is also recalculated.
