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.
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. |
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 |

Add Device Profile Icons
NNMi enables the NNMi administrator to customize the icons associated with a Device Profile or specific Nodes. These icons appear in table views, menu items, and as foreground images on an NNMi topology map.
You can specify icons for a specific Node, Device Family, Device Vendor, or Device Category. NNMi determines the icon to use in the following order of precedence:
You can use a command line tool to list, create, update, and delete the icons that you load into the NNMi database. See nnmicons.ovpl.
If you delete an icon from the NNMi database, the icon Name remains associated with any Device Profile's Device Family, Device Category, or Device Vendor attribute to which that icon was previously assigned. NNMi displays the missing_image
icon for the affected items until the NNMi administrator updates the specification to an existing icon.
To add icons to the NNMi database:
-
Navigate to the Icons option under the User Interface folder.
- Navigate to the Configuration workspace.
- Expand User Interface.
- Select Icons.
- Provide settings for the icons listed. (see the Device Profile Icons table).
- Click Save and Close to the Icon form.
- Click Save and Close to save and apply your changes.
- If you change your mind, see Change the Image for a Specified Icon.
