HP NNM Adapter Features

Installing the HP NNM Adapter adds the following features to HPOM:

Adds the NNM server system on the node group root if the NNM server is not a managed node in HPOM.
Creates these three services:
- HP Network Node Manager (under Services\Applications)
- HP NNM Adapter (under Services\Applications)
- Network Infrastructure (under Services)
Creates the tool group HP NNM Web Tools, which contains HP NNM Web Tools. These tools are associated with the HP NNM Managed Nodes node group. All nodes that are discovered as NNM nodes are automatically associated with these tools indirectly through the HP NNM Managed Nodes group. (The tools are inherited from the HP NNM Managed Nodes node group.) All services hosted on nodes discovered as NNM nodes are associated with these tools.
Creates the policy group NNM Policies, which contains the following policies. These allow messages and events to be sent between HPOM and NNM:
- NNM Adapter
  This policy is deployed on the management server during HP NNM Adapter installation and is used internally by the HP NNM Adapter.
- NNMAdap-FwdAllLogEntries
  This event log policy is deployed on the HP Network Node Manager server and the HPOM management server during HP NNM Adapter installation. The policy forwards all HP NNM Adapter events logs to the HPOM console.
- NNM-SNMP-NonNorm
  This SNMP policy is deployed on the NNM server during HP NNM Adapter installation. It forwards NNM events with severities other than “Normal” and normal correlated NNM events to the HPOM for Windows console.
- NNM-SNMP-All policy
  This SNMP policy forwards all NNM events to the HPOM for Windows console. It is provided as a policy. While you could deploy the NNM-SNMP-All policy directly to the NNM server, it is not recommended because this policy forwards all NNM events, including normal messages, to the HPOM for Windows console. This would produce large numbers of messages in the console.

NOTE:
When you want to deploy a new SNMP policy, either NNM-SNMP-All or a policy you have created from this policy, you should first remove the old policy NNM-SNMP-NonNorm to prevent duplicate messages from appearing in the browser.
