14.7.2 IPv6 inventory following deactivation of the IPv6 management feature
Once NNMi completely discovers your IPv6 inventory, you can enable NNMi to clean it up automatically in the following scenarios:
-
You turned on the master IPv6 switch, then turned it off and restarted NNMi.
NNMi does not immediately remove the IPv6 inventory. NNMi removes the IPv6 inventory for SNMP nodes during the next discovery cycle. For nodes whose management address is an IPv6 address, their management addresses remain as is. NNMi does not remove non-SNMP IPv6 nodes. You must manually delete the nodes whose IPv6 data remains from the NNMi inventory.
-
Your NNMi Advanced license expired (or someone removed the license)
NNMi begins using the NNMi basic license, and the basic license has enough capacity to continue managing all the discovered nodes. NNMi immediately removes all of the non-SNMP IPv6 nodes from its inventory. NNMi then rediscovers all of the SNMP nodes and removes all of the IPv6 data. For nodes whose management address is an IPv6 address, their management addresses remain as is. You must manually delete the corresponding nodes from the NNMi inventory.
-
Your NNMi Advanced license expired (or someone removed the license)
NNMi begins using the NNMi basic license, and the basic license does not have enough capacity to continue managing all the discovered nodes. NNMi immediately removes all non-SNMP IPv6 nodes. The Licensing service marks the SNMP nodes that exceed the licensed inventory capacity with the Not Managed state. NNMi immediately removes IPv6 data from the managed SNMP nodes.
For the unmanaged SNMP nodes, complete these steps:
a. Install additional license capacity.
b. From the NNMi console, on the Actions menu choose Management Mode, and then choose the Manage command to change the management mode for the nodes marked as Not Managed by the Licensing service. You can also use the nnmmanagementmode.ovpl script to manage these nodes (for details, see the nnmmanagementmode.ovpl Reference Page).
c. From the NNMi console, on the Actions menu choose Polling, and then choose the Configuration Poll command to enable NNMi to discover these nodes. You can also use the nnmnoderediscover.ovpl script to discover these nodes (for details, see the nnmnoderediscover.ovpl Reference Page).
-
Your NNMi Advanced license expired (or someone removed the license), and you had neglected to install an NNMi basic license.
NNMi immediately removes all non-SNMP IPv6 nodes and automatically unmanages the remaining nodes. To remedy this situation, complete these steps:
a. Install a valid license.
b. From the NNMi console, on the Actions menu choose Management Mode, and then choose the Manage command to change the management mode for the nodes marked as Not Managed by the Licensing service. You can also use the nnmmanagementmode.ovpl script to manage these nodes (for details, see the nnmmanagementmode.ovpl Reference Page).
c. From the NNMi console, on the Actions menu choose Polling, and then choose the Configuration Poll command to enable NNMi to discover the nodes you changed from Not Managed to Managed. You can also use the nnmnoderediscover.ovpl script to discover these nodes (for details, see the nnmnoderediscover.ovpl Reference Page).
d. To create an IPv6 list and then remove the IPv6 inventory, on the Actions menu choose Polling, and then choose the Configuration Poll command to obtain configuration information from each managed node.
