20.1 Best practices for preparing the NNMi configuration to be moved

The following best practices are effective for moving the NNMi configuration to a different system:

• If the node group configuration uses host names to identify managed nodes, the production and test NNMi management servers must use the same DNS servers. In the case where the production and test systems use different DNS servers, changes in the resolved name for a managed node might result in different polling settings between the two NNMi management servers.

• You can limit the configuration export to a single author. Create a new author value that is unique to your group or company. Specify this author value when you create or modify any of the following items:

  - Device profile

  - Incident configuration

  - Menu

  - Menu item

  - Custom correlation configuration

  - Icon

  - MIB expression

  - Trap log configuration
