21.13 Configuring NNMi to allow level 2 operators to edit maps
By default, NNMi permits only NNMi administrators to edit maps by creating, modifying, and deleting node groups. You can configure NNMi so that user accounts assigned to the NNMi Operator Level 2 user group also have this ability.
Following is the procedure for changing NNMi to permit user accounts assigned to the NNMi Operator Level 2 user group to create, modify, and delete node groups on nodes to which they have access:
Edit the following file:
Windows: %NNM_PROPS%\nms-ui.properties
Linux: $NNM_PROPS/nms-ui.properties
-
Search for the following text block and uncomment it:
#!com.hp.nnm.ui.level2MapEditing = true
Save your change.
Restart NNMi by running the following commands:
ovstop ovstart
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.
After completing step 1 through step 5, the NNMi console changes as follows:
The Inventory > Node Group menu shows Create and Delete toolbar icons for the NNMi Operator Level 2.
The toolbar on the Node Group form contains the Save and New and Delete Node Group buttons.
The All Node Groups folder appears in the Topology Maps workspace. For details, see About Workspaces in NNMi online Help.
For node group maps, the NNMi console contains the Save Map toolbar button and File > Save Map menu items.
The behavior of the Save Layout action depends on the existence of a node group map setting for the node group map. If no node group map setting exists for a node group map, you must create one.
You can configure NNMi so that NNMi Operator Level 2 users have permission to create node group map settings:
From the NNMi console, open Topology Maps > Node Group Overview.
Double-click the Node Group icon of interest.
NNMi opens the node group map associated with the selected node group.
Open the node group map settings you want to modify:
Select File > Open Node Group Map Settings.
Set the Minimum NNMi Role to Save Layout to Operator Level 2.
Save your changes.
The NNMi operator level 2 user group can now create, edit, and delete node group map settings from a node group map view.
