Configure the Device Profile Icon for Specified Nodes

NNMi enables you to customize the icons associated with a device profile. These icons appear in views, menu items, and as foreground images on an NNMi topology map.

You can specify image icons for a specific Node, Device Family, Device Vendor, or Device Category. NNMi determines the icon image to user per node in the following order of precedence:

To use the command line to load the icon images to the NNMi database so they are available for use, see nnmicons.ovpl. To use the NNMi console to load images, see Add Device Profile Icons

Note NNMi provides a missing icon () to indicate a Device Profile icon is not available. The reasons that NNMi displays the missing icon include the following: 

  • The icon's graphic file has been deleted.
  • The icon's graphic file does not exist.

To configure the Device Profile Icon for specified Nodes:

  1. Navigate to the Nodes view (for example Inventory > Nodes).
  2. Use Ctrl-Click to select each node. You can also select Nodes from a map view.

  3. Select Actions > Custom Attributes > Add.

  4. In the Name drop-down menu, select NNM_ICON.
  5. In the Value attribute, enter the Name of the icon you want to use for the selected nodes pre-pended with NNM.

    The Value must begin with NNM: For example: NNM:1400-procurve-vendor.
