19.8 Configuring NNMi to allow level 1 operators to run status polls and configuration polls

NNMi permits user accounts assigned to the NNMi Operator Level 2 user group to run status polls and configuration polls on nodes to which they have access.

If you need to change NNMi to permit user accounts assigned to the NNMi Operator Level 1 user group to run status polls and configuration polls, do the following:

1. Open the Configuration > User Interface > Menu Items > Status Poll form.

2. From the Menu Item Contexts tab, open the entry for each Required NNMi Role/Object Type item you need to change.

3. Change the value of the Required NNMi Role to Operator Level 1 for each object type for which you want a level 1 operator to be able to run status polls.

   This step enables the user accounts assigned to the NNMi Operator Level 1 user group to view the status poll action for the object type specified.

4. Open the Configuration > User Interface > Menu Items > Configuration Poll form.

5. From the Menu Item Contexts tab, open the entry for each Required NNMi Role/Object Type item you need to change.

6. Change the value of the Required NNMi Role to Operator Level 1 for each object type for which you want a level 1 operator to be able to run configuration polls.

   This step enables the user accounts assigned to the NNMi Operator Level 1 user group to view the configuration poll action for the object type specified.

   Editing the nms-topology.properties file, as shown in steps 7 through 10, permits user accounts assigned to the NNMi Operator Level 1 user group to run both status poll and configuration poll commands from the NNMi console. If you do not complete these steps, NNMi will display the status poll and configuration poll options in the Actions menu, but the user will see an error message when an attempt is made to run the status poll or configuration poll commands.

7. To change the level of access required for status polls and configuration polls (the required object access privilege levels), edit the following file:

   • Windows: %NNM_PROPS%\nms-topology.properties

   • UNIX: $NNM_PROPS/nms-topology.properties

8. Scroll to the end of the file and add the following line for the status poll change:

   permission.override.com.hp.nnm.STATUS_POLL=com.hp.nnm.ADMIN,com.hp.nnm.LEVEL2,com.hp.nnm.LEVEL1

9. Add the following line for the configuration poll change:

   permission.override.com.hp.nnm.CONFIG_POLL=com.hp.nnm.ADMIN,com.hp.nnm.LEVEL2,com.hp.nnm.LEVEL1

10. Save your changes.

11. Restart the NNMi management server.

    a. Run the ovstop command on the NNMi management server.

    b. Run the ovstart command on the NNMi management server.

When making file changes under HA, you must make the changes on both nodes in the cluster. For an NNMi that uses an HA configuration, if the change requires you to stop and restart the NNMi management server, you must place the nodes in maintenance mode before running the ovstop and ovstart commands.
