24.1.1 New NNM system
NNM has been used in a wide variety of network environments with several generations of software. Users who have been using NNM version 5 or earlier in the router-centric world must be facing a large burden that does not match the current network structure. If your NNM system is at least two years old, we recommend that you take this opportunity to start a new system. By reassessing how best to manage the current network, you might be able to achieve significant overhead reduction and operational efficiency improvement compared to NNM.
To newly install and begin using NNMi, install NNMi by following the installations described in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Consolidated Management 2/Network Node Manager i Installation Guide. Next, study the installation tasks explained in other chapters of this manual. In this case, you need not read this chapter.
