Define Node Group Map Settings

Node Group Map settings specify the node group and background image to be used in a Node Group map. Map settings include the following:

• Node group name
• Quick Access Maps folder ordering
• Minimum role for saving edited locations for each node in the map
• Refresh interval
• The maximum number of map nodes
• Node connectivity information
• Node Group connectivity information
• Background image information

To configure Node Group Map settings from the command line, see the nnmnodegroupmapsettings.ovpl Reference Page.

Node Group Map views are used for a variety of purposes in NNMi:

• Viewing groups of only the nodes that are important to you.
• Viewing Node Groups in the context of a relevant background image.
• Viewing Node Groups in a customized arrangement.

To define Node Group Map Settings, use the Node Group Map Settings Form.

To view a Node Group Map, do one of the following:

• Use the Actions menu from the NNMi main toolbar from either a Node Group or Node Group Map Settings form. See Node Group Map for more information.

  You can also right-click any object in a table or map view to access the items available within the Actions menu.
• Use the Topology Maps workspace.

To view more information about the Node Group from a Node Group map, use the File → Open Node Group for Map option to open the Node Group form  for the selected Node Group.
