JP1/Software Distribution systems are displayed on NNM using the following symbols:

Figure 3-6 Symbol for a manager or relay manager

Figure 3-7 Relay system symbol

Figure 3-8 Client symbol

(a) When symbols are added

The manager symbol is displayed when a service of JP1/Software Distribution Manager is started. Relay system and client symbols are displayed when they are added to the system configuration.

In a system configuration in which the manager is hierarchically structured, the manager symbol is displayed in NNM when the relay manager that belongs to the manager is added to the system configuration.

(b) When symbols are deleted

The relay system and client symbols are deleted when they are deleted from the system configuration.

In a system configuration in which the manager is hierarchically structured, the manager symbol is deleted from NNM when the relay manager that belongs to the manager is deleted from the system configuration.

From the Administration menu in HP NNM, clicking JP1/Software Distribution Administration and then Delete Symbols allows you to batch delete all JP1/Software Distribution symbols. However, the JP1/Software Distribution symbols you have added to the NNM window are not deleted. Additionally, you cannot execute batch symbol deletion from a Web browser.

The display color of the host symbol that has caused an error changes. When no error is present, the symbol is displayed in green. When an error occurs, the symbol is displayed in yellow. To return the symbol display to the normal state (green), from the Administration menu in NNM, click JP1/Software Distribution Administration and then Initialize Symbols. You cannot execute symbol initialization with a Web browser.

(a) Checking the occurrence of an error

If an error occurs in the JP1/Software Distribution host and the symbol display status changes, you can investigate the error using the NNM status event browser or the application alarm event browser. The following shows an example of JP1/Software Distribution errors displayed in the status event browser.

Figure 3-9 Example of JP1/Software Distribution errors displayed in the status event browser

The Source column displays the JP1/Software Distribution Manager host name. The Message column displays the job that has caused an error in the following format:

Software-Distribution-job:job-name <job-ID> caused an error.

(b) Information reported from JP1/Software Distribution to NNM

If a job causes an error, JP1/Software Distribution reports (or traps) the information shown in the table below to NNM.

Table 3-3 Information reported from JP1/Software Distribution to NNM

Information item to report	Description
Trap name	Netmdm_Sts_job
Event category	Status event
Enterprise Object ID (netmdm)	.1.3.6.1.4.1.116.7.20
Specific-trap	1
Severity	Warning area
Variable $3	Name of job that caused an error
Variable $4	ID of job that caused an error

Because company ID (.1.3.6.1.4.1.116.7.20) is specific to JP1/Software Distribution, you can also design an automatic NNM action that will be performed when a JP1/Software Distribution job is generated.
