Description

The agent implementation of the Micro Focus NNMi-MF OM integration is the preferred solution for integrating Micro Focus Operations Manager (OM) with Micro Focus Network Node Manager i (NNMi) software.

The agent implementation of the MF NNMi-HPOM integration forwards NNMi management events as SNMPv2c traps to a MF Operations agent on the NNMi management server. The agent filters the NNMi traps and forwards them to the MF OM active messages browser. The agent configuration determines which MF OM management server receives the forwarded incident.

The MF NNMi-MF OM integration can also forward the SNMP traps that NNMi receives to the agent. The integration does not forward events generated by NNM 6.x or 7.x management stations to the agent.

The MF NNMi-MF OM integration also provides for accessing the NNMi console from within MF OM.

The agent implementation of the HP NNMi-MF OM integration consists of the following components:

  • nnmi-mf om agent integration module
  • nnmopcexport.ovpl tool
Phase 2.0 is an integration between NNMi and OM  using a WS-based integration.
 
Phase 2.5 supports both the agent-based OM integration and WS-based OM integration.
 
Phase 3.0 makes the WS-based OM integration obsolete. Only an agent-based integration will be supported.

The MF NNMi-MF OM integration provides event consolidation in the MF OM active messages browser for the network management, system management, and application management domains, so that MF OM users can detect and investigate potential network problems.

The primary features of the integration are as follows:

  • Automatic incident forwarding from NNMi to the MF Operations agent. Forwarded incidents appear in the MF OM active messages browser.
  • Access to the NNMi console from MF OM.
    • MF OM users can open the NNMi Incident form in the context of a selected message.
    • MF OM users can launch an NNMi view (for example, the Layer 2 Neighbor view) in the context of a selected message and node.
    • MF OM users can launch an NNMi tool (for example, status poll) in the context of a selected message and node.

NNMi and MF OM must be installed on separate computers. The NNMi management server and the MF OM management server computer can be of the same or different operating systems.

The MF Operations agent requires a license and must be installed on the NNMi management server computer after NNMi installation.
