There are six tasks to complete during the installation process: • Match your system’s setup to the NNM minimum requirements. • Complete any necessary pre-installation steps. • Install the NNM software. • Run the NNM software. • Obtain a permanent password for your NNM software. • Configure NNM to access the HP OpenView Web interface. Once you have successfully installed NNM, refer to the last section in this guide, for “where-to-go-next” information on configuring and using your NNM product. Installation Overview Task 1: Checking System Requirements Chapter6 Task 1: Checking System Requirements Before starting, you or your system administrator should check that your system meets the minimum hardware and software requirements listed below. (Note that the installation program will automatically check the amounts of RAM and free disk space for you): Refer to the Release Notes for system requirements information. You can access the Release Notes from the CD. The Release Notes are in the README.html file From the left pane of the Release Notes, double-click on Supported Configurations. Installation Overview Task 2: Completing Pre-Installation Steps Chapter 7 Task 2: Completing Pre-Installation Steps To ensure that all products installed on your system run compatibly and efficiently with NNM, there are several preparatory steps you need to do before you actually install the NNM product itself. General Configuration 1. If your system has other HP OpenView products installed on it (such as Perfview or IT/Operations), refer to the HP OpenView Network Node Manager Migration Guide. This guide describes which HP OpenView products are compatible with the version of NNM that you are now installing. 2. If your system has any third-party OpenView applications installed on it, check to see that they have been tested with NNM 6.1 or later. The current version of most of these third-party applications have been tested to work on NNM 6.1 or later. The following World Wide Web URL lists the application names and versions that run on each of the supported HP OpenView platforms. Also found at this URL are supplementary instructions for installing these third-party applications with NNM 6.1 or later. http://ovweb2.external.hp.com/solutions/technical 3. Make sure that you have the required Service Pack installed. 4. Install the products described in the remainder of this task section. Some of these products must be installed before you install NNM, while others are optional or not relevant to your network’s environment. • Paging File setup depends on your network environment • TCP/IP Service installation required • Microsoft SNMP Agent installation required • IPX Service installation optional • DHCP setup depends on your network environment • Web browser installation required • Web server installation required Installation Overview Task 2: Completing Pre-Installation Steps Chapter8 • Microsoft data access components check required • Microsoft Terminal Services optional • Windows NT Service Pack reinstallation required Paging File Setup If you will be managing more than 250 nodes on your system, you should increase the initial size of your system’s paging file.
