Duplicate IP Addresses 2

As a final step in the SNMP integration with HP OpenView NNM, an entry needs to be added to the HP OpenView nodiscover file. This entry is necessary to ensure that the IP address of the second Ethernet port on the PMC is not detected as a duplicate IP address when more than one PMC is attached to a network. Before powering on the library containing the PMC, perform the duplicate IP addresses procedure.

SNMP Integration Guide 17

Page 32

Chapter 2 OpenView NNM on Windows NT/2000 Setting Up OpenView NNM

To create duplicate IP addresses:

1 Determine the IP address of the PMC Ethernet port.

If the IP address of the PMC Ethernet port attached to the network begins with anything other than the number 10, the IP address of the second port is 10.0.0.254. Otherwise, the IP address of the second Ethernet port is 192.168.0.254.

2 Create an ASCII file. Name and place it as follows:P

\HP Openview\NNM\conf\netmon.nodiscover

3 Add a line to the file containing only the IP address determined in

step 1

of this section.

For example, if the IP address of the second Ethernet port is determined to be 10.0.0.254, then add the following line to the file:

10.0.0.254 #MC300 private network address.

Setting Up OpenView NNM 2

After the SNMP integration software is installed, set up OpenView NNM. To set up OpenView NNM:

1 If OpenView NNM is running, shutdown, and restart OpenView

NNM. If OpenView NNM is not running, start OpenView NNM.

Chapter 3 OpenView NNM on Solaris Duplicate IP Addresses

Duplicate IP Addresses 3

As a final step in the SNMP integration with HP OpenView NNM, an entry needs to be added the HP OpenView nodiscover file. This entry is necessary to ensure that the IP address of the second Ethernet port on the PMC is not detected as a duplicate IP address when more than one PMC is attached to a network. Before powering on the library containing the PMC, perform the duplicate IP addresses procedure.

To create duplicate IP addresses:

1 Determine the IP address of the PMC Ethernet port.

If the IP address of the PMC Ethernet port attached to the network begins with anything other than the number 10, the IP address of the second port is Ethernet port is

2 Create an ASCII file. Name and place it as follows:

$OV_CONF/netmon.noDiscover

3 Add a line to the file containing only the IP address determined in

step 1

of this section.

10.0.0.254. Otherwise, the IP address of the second

192.168.0.254.

For example, if the IP address of the second Ethernet port is determined to be

10.0.0.254 #MC300 private network address.

10.0.0.254, then add the following line to the file:

Setting Up OpenView NNM 3

After the SNMP integration software is installed, set up OpenView NNM. To set up OpenView NNM:

1 If OpenView NNM is running, shutdown and restart OpenView

NNM.

If OpenView NNM is not running, start OpenView NNM. To run OpenView NNM, type:
