Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide

12.3.3 Configuration with HP NNM for monitoring the network

You can monitor the system network by linking JP1/IM with HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier.

The user opens the windows of HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier from JP1/IM - View. Also, in the Event Console window of JP1/IM - View, you can monitor SNMP traps managed by HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier and converted into JP1 events by JP1/Base.

Figure 12-5 Example of linkage with HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier

The following products are required on each host:

Managers

• JP1/IM - Manager
  Runs the Central Console and Central Scope. The Central Scope is required to monitor the system by associating jobs and JP1 events. It is not required to monitor job execution simply by monitoring JP1 events.
  
• JP1/Base

Agents (network management manager host)

• Version 7.5 or earlier of HP NNM
• HTTP server
  Required for displaying HP NNM Web pages.
  
• JP1/Base

(Network management agent hosts)

• JP1/Cm2/Extensible SNMP Agent, JP1/Cm2/Extensible Agent, and so on

Viewer

• JP1/IM - View
• Web browser
  Required for displaying HP OpenView NNM Web pages.
  

Event levels of SNMP traps after conversion to JP1 events

• When a SNMP trap is converted into a JP1 event, the trap severity level is converted into an event level, as listed in the table below.
  

  Table 12-7 Event level when a SNMP trap is converted into a JP1 event

  Severity level of SNMP trap	Display (event level) after conversion into a JP1 event
  Normal	Information
  Warning	Warning
  Minor	Error
  Major	Critical
  Critical	Alert

  SNMP trap conversion and precautions are described in the Job Management Partner 1/Base User's Guide. See the chapter on setting the event converters for details about converting SNMP traps.
  
• If your system monitors JP1 events converted by JP1/Base from SNMP traps issued by version 7.5 or earlier of HP NNM, the IP address of the host at which the problem occurred may not be received correctly. This is because, when JP1/Base converts a SNMP trap into a JP1 event, the value set in the source IP address attribute of the JP1 event is the IP address of the host on which JP1/Base resides, not the IP address of the host that issued the SNMP trap. To acquire the name of the issuing host, specify the SNMP trap source extended attribute. To define the attribute value, specify the $EV"SNMP_SOURCE" variable.
