A-2 HP OpenView NNM SE 1.2 With Dell OpenManage HIP 3.2 User’s Guide
What light-emitting diode (LED) flashes when the Adaptec Comprehensive
Input/Output (CI/O) Blink Hard-Disk Drive Light feature is used?
The hard-disk drive activity LED flashes at 1-second intervals. If there is any hard-disk
drive activity, it may not be possible to differentiate normal hard-disk drive access
from this feature.
If the SMS is updating the database with the most current information every
24 hours, why don’t I see previous history reports in the database reports that I
view in SMS?
The database is updated only if changes have been made to the server. For example,
a voltage probe monitors the node first at midnight on Monday and then at midnight
on Tuesday. If changes are detected, they will be logged to the database and a history
will be created. If no changes were detected, a history will not be created.
Why do I have one blank line on the top of most of my Dell MIF information
databases within SMS?
A single blank record gets sent with your MIF to the SMS primary site when the data-
base is created. This blank record gets transported into the database at the Structured
Query Language (SQL)/SMS primary site. The blank record has no affect on the Dell
MIF/SMS functionality and can be disregarded.
Why do some nodes in an OpenView map show up outside of NetWare and
Windows NT segments?
OpenView discovery scans the network for nodes using the Internetwork Package
Exchange (IPX) protocol and Internet Protocol (IP). Those nodes using IP will be
grouped into segments represented by their IP segment symbol, while those using
IPX will be grouped into segments represented by the IPX segment symbol. If the
netmon utility finds servers with multiple network interface cards (NICs), it assumes
that the server is a router or a bridge. In this case, OpenView may display the server
as an individual host outside the network segments.
I’m using a Windows Internetworking Name Server (WINS) to resolve all of my
names. I can ping my NetWare servers using their IP address, but not using their
names. Why?
Configuring NetWare servers into the WINS Static IP map should resolve this
problem.
Do I need a Domain Name System (DNS) or a WINS server to install OpenView?
No. In very small networks, you can get by with just HOSTS files. As the network
expands, HOSTS files are more difficult to maintain, in which case a DNS or WINS or
both can be used for name resolution. On routed networks, LMHOST files may be
needed.
Do I need to provide a router address for OpenView to operate properly?
Only if you are using a router to link to another network segment. Most routers keep
an IP/Name map of the network segment in which they exist on cache memory. As a
result, it is much easier for OpenView NNM SE to discover the nodes.
