JP1 Version 12 Network Management: Getting Started


1.2.2 Checking the prerequisites of the Monitoring Manager (for Windows)

If the Monitoring Manager is to run on Windows, check the settings below, and then start installing the JP1 network management products.

Before you begin

For details about the prerequisites, see the topic Preinstallation Checklists in the JP1/Network Node Manager i Setup Guide.

Procedure

  1. Check the host name of the Monitoring Manager.

    The host name is used when setting the trap destination and during login.

  2. Make sure that the port number to be used by the Monitoring Manager is not used.

    If you execute netstat -an at the command prompt, you can check the currently used port numbers.

    For details about the port numbers, see the topic List of Ports Used by NNMi in the JP1/Network Node Manager i Setup Guide. For details about SSO, see Port Number Settings.

  3. Assign a static IP address to the Monitoring Manager.

    You need to assign a static IP address, not a dynamic IP address by DHCP.

  4. Check the installation folder of NNMi.

    The installation folder of NNMi is used during its installation. The default folders are as follows:

    • For the program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Hitachi\Cm2NNMi\

    • For data: C:\ProgramData\Hitachi\Cm2NNMi\

  5. Check the installation folder of SSO.

    The installation folder of SSO is used during its installation. The default folder is as follows:

    • C:\Program Files\HITACHI\JP1SSO\

  6. Disable the antivirus software.

    Disable the antivirus software only during the installation of the JP1 network management products.

  7. Set the SNMP Trap service, which is a Windows SNMP-related service, to Disabled.

  8. If you monitor the Monitoring Manager by using SNMP, make sure the SNMP service is available.

  9. Use Windows Firewall to make sure that access to the port number used by the Monitoring Manager is enabled.

    For details about access to the port number, see the topic Firewall pass-through direction in the JP1/Network Node Manager i Setup Guide.

  10. Make sure that the values set for the environment variables TEMP and TMP are the same.

    If the values of the environment variables TEMP and TMP differ, the installation of NNMi might fail. If the values differ, set the same value. Note that 500.0 MB of the %TEMP% folder is used during the installation.

  11. Click Administrative Tools, Remote Desktop Services, and then Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration. Specify the Remote Desktop settings as follows:

    • Do not delete temporary folders on exit

    • Do not use temporary folders per session

Next steps

After you make sure that there is no problem in the prerequisite environment, proceed to the next task of setting up the Monitoring Manager.
