HP OpenView Version: Network Node Manager 3.0
Platform: HP Apollo 9000, Series 700 and on Sun SPARC Station
Installing the NetWare Management Agent MIBs contained in this directory,
on the OpenView console, will provide the ability to capture and display
real-time server performance data and information about server alarms. The
OpenView console provides the capability to manage network performance by
providing several ways to track and collect performance information for
objects on the network.
To manage a server with OpenView; SNMP, IP, and ManageWise 2.0 or NetWare
Management Agent 2.1 must be running on the server being managed, and one
or more of the MIBs from this directory must be loaded on the OpenView
console.
This document consists of three parts.

A. OpenView Network Node Manager - Overview
-------------------------------------------
HP OpenView Windows is a graphical user interface designed to integrate the
presentation of network management and systems management applications.
OpenView Users access network management functionality through pull-down
menus and dialog boxes.
Network Node Manager (NNM) is an SNMP based application running under HP
OpenView Windows. It is a configuration, performance, and fault management
application for multivendor TCP/IP networks. It can automatically discover
devices on the network, and create an environment of interactive maps and
submaps. These maps contain related objects which represent entities or
resources on the network. Management and edit actions can be performed on
these network objects. NNM can monitor and control agent systems (devices
on the network) through SNMP.

Load/Unload MIBs dialog box will appear, listing the currently loaded MIBs.
4. Click the Load button, the Load MIB from File dialog box will appear,
listing the files in the default directory (/usr/OV/snmp_mibs).
5. Select an appropriate MIB from the scrollable list.
- NWTREND.MIB which allows the setup and capture of trend and
threshold server data of real-time and historical server performance
data.
- RFC1514.MIB for standard Host Resources MIB information
- NWHOSTX.MIB for Novell's extensions to RFC1514.MIB
- NWSERVER.MIB for NetWare server data
- NWALARM.MIB for NetWare server Alarm Traps
6. Click OK. The MIB will automatically load and the MIB Load/UnLoad MIBs
dialog will reappear, enabling you to Load the other MIBs ... one at a
time.
7. Continue this process until you have loaded all the NMA MIBs you wish.
8. The new MIBs should now be included in the Loaded MIBs scrollable list,
enabling you to use the Monitor > MIB Values > Browse MIB > SNMP...
functionality. Otherwise, you will receive an error message indicating a
problem with the MIB.
9. Click on the close button to exit this operation.
C. USE INSTRUCTIONS
-------------------
C1. To Gather NMA MIB Data via the NNM Console
The following steps allow you to view NMA MIB values for a selected NMA
supported NetWare Server:
(a) Select the desired node in the OpenView map.
(b) Select Monitor > MIB Values -> Browse MIB: SNMP... from the menu
bar, the Browse MIB dialog box will appear.
(c) Select the desired MIB Object by moving up or down the MIB tree.
Do this by selecting the appropriate object in the scrollable list and
clicking the Down Tree button, or just double click the MIB object.
The level in the MIB will descend to the next level, continue doing
this until you have reached the object you wish to view.
(d) Start the MIB query by clicking on Start Query; the results will
display in the MIB Values area.
To stop the query, click the Stop Query button.
MIB data may also be collected at regular intervals. MIB data may be
collected or monitored on numeric MIB values (i.e. the MIB objects
that are defined as: Counter, Gauge, INTEGER, IpAddress, and
TimeTicks). Make sure you understand the definitions and purpose of
the MIBs on which you want to collect data.
(e) Select the Options > Data Collection: SNMP MIBs ... menu item, and
the MIB Data Collection dialog box will appear.
(f) Click on Add; the MIB Data Collection / MIB Object Selection
dialog box will appear.
(g) Specify the MIB object ID for which you want to collect data, by
selecting the MIB Object from the MIB tree. Make sure the label is no
longer than 14 characters and conforms to UNIX filename conventions.
The label is the name under which the data will be saved.
(h) Specify the instance of the MIB object you want to collect data.
(i) Click the APPLY/OK button, the MIB object ID will be added to the
list of configured MIBs and the MIB Data Collection/Add Collection
dialog box will appear. Once you have clicked OK or Apply, you cannot
change the instance without deleting the MIB object and re-entering a
new instance.
(j) Add the source name, the name will appear in the List of
Collection Sources selection list area.
(k) Specify the collection mode by choosing one option from the
Collection Mode option menu.
(l) Specify the polling interval.
(m) Click OK and the MIB Data Collection/Add Collection dialog box
will disappear and the MIB object will be added to the "MIB Objects
Configured for Collection" selection list, in the "MIB Data
Collection" dialog box.
(n) Click on Apply or OK for the changes to take effect. To cancel
all changes and exit click on Cancel which will cancel all changes
from the last Apply or from the time you entered the dialog.Data
collection is restarted each time you click on Apply.
C2. Setting NMA MIB Objects via NNM Console
The following steps must be accomplished in order to Set MIB objects:
(a) Select the desired NetWare Server with NMA loaded in the OpenView
map.
(b) Select Monitor > MIB Values > Browse MIB: SNMP ... and the Browse
MIB dialog box will appear.
(c) Specify the MIB Object ID for which you want to set the MIB value
by traversing down the MIB tree until the desired object is displayed,
and then select the object.
(d) Query the MIB object by clicking on Start Query, the results will
displayed in the MIB Values list.
(e) Select the desired value you want to change from the MIB Values
list. The current value is displayed in the SNMP Set Value field.
(f) Type in the new values for the object in the SNMP Set Value field.
(g) Click on Set. If you want to see the changes on the node right
away, select the Diagnose > Network Connectivity > Demand Poll ...
menu item.
(h) The message area will indicate the success or failure of the
operation.

display in the MIB values listing.
2. Ensure that NetWare Management Agent is loaded on the NetWare server.
3. Configure event receipt at the OpenView by selecting the Options > Event
Configuration > SNMP... menu item and a configuration dialog box will
appear.
4. Follow your HP documentation for creating specific event categories,
with the Configure Event Categories dialog box.
5. To view the current and historical events received at the OpenView
console, select the appropriate event category in the Events Listing box.
C3. Forwarding NMA Trap Information to the OpenView Console
Follow these steps to receive event notification messages at the OpenView
Network Node Manager console:
(a) TRAPTARG.CFG is in SYS:ETC\ on the NetWare server.
Edit the Protocol UDP section of, TRAPTARG.CFG, by adding the OpenView
console's IP address. This will forward all server alarms from the
server to the OpenView management console.
(b) Ensure that the SNMP Agent and NMA NLMs are loaded on the NetWare
Server.
(c) Make sure the MIBs from NMAUX1 are loaded on the OpenView Console.
C4. Adding Alarms individually:
(a) From the Menu bar, select Options > Event Configuration > SNMP ...
menu item, and the Event Configuration dialog box will appear.
IF the desired enterprise name does NOT appear in the Enterprise
Identification listing:
- add the enterprise name by clicking on the Add New Enterprise...
button.
- the dialog box will appear. Add the appropriate enterprise name,
enterprise ID, and then click on the Add button. The newly added
enterprise will appear in the Enterprise Identification listing.
(b) Select the Enterprise name of the target trap from the Enterprise
Identification selection list; the events configured for the selected
enterprises will appear in the Event Identification selection list.
(c) Define a new event category by selecting the Configure Event
Categories button. The new category will be added to the Event
Categories list.
IF the preferred event is NOT enumerated in the Event Identification
inventory, an event can be added by clicking the Add... or Copy button
(Help is available by selecting the Help button.)
- An Add Event dialog will appear, fill it in appropriately.
- Save the newly configured event by selecting the OK button.
(d) Select the trap from the Event Identification selection list.
The current configuration for the trap will be displayed in the Event
Description dialog box, which can be accessed by clicking the Describe
button. The event may be revised by accessing the Modify Event dialog
box via the Modify...button.
(f) Click the Apply or OK button to accept the new event
configuration.
C5. Or, adding many events at once with the OpenView xnmevents tool and a
special trap definition script file:
xnmevents merges the specified script file with the event definition file
/usr/OV/conf/c/trapd.conf.
Trapd.conf consists of definitions for the handling of SNMP events
generated by SNMP Agents.
An event definition script file can be comprised of four sections:
1. Event Category definitions
2. Additional Action definitions
3. Enterprise definitions
4. Event definitions
NMA2_1.CNF is a sample events definition script. The script file defines:
an Event Category (Novell Events), all NMA event enterprises, and all NMA
events.
You can merge a trap definitions script file with trapd.conf by issuing the
following command at the OpenView prompt: #XNMEVENTS -LOAD SCRIPTFILE
