2.1.1 Installing NNMi (Windows)

To perform a new installation of NNMi in a Windows system, follow these steps:

Important

Configure the remote desktop as follows before you install and configure NNMi. This configuration increases the resources that Windows uses, so you can return to the original configuration after completing these tasks, if necessary.

Configuration path

Windows Server 2012 and later

Local Group Policy Editor^# > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Temporary folders

#: To open Local Group Policy Editor, enter gpedit.msc in the Start window.
Configuration settings

Windows Server 2012 and later

Enable Do not use temporary folders per session and Do not delete temp folder upon exit. To apply these settings to the system, log off and then log on again.

Log on as a user with administrator privileges to the system where you plan to install NNMi.

If UAC is enabled, a user who is not the built-in Administrator must be promoted to administrator.
Insert the NNMi installation media into the drive.

The Hitachi Program Product Installer window opens.
Start installation as indicated by the installer.
Enter information as indicated by the installer.

To use a default value, press the Enter key without entering any value. The default is the value shown in brackets.
- Specify the HTTP port number for the NNMi Web server.
  
  Enter the HTTP port number for the NNMi Web server used to access NNMi. Enter a port number that is not being used by another program. The default value is 80.
  
  An input example follows:
  
  ** Network Node Manager i Installer **
  
  * Starting NNMi installation.
  
  * Enter default port for HTTP server =>
  
  * [80]
  
  8004
- Specify the HTTPS port number for the NNMi Web server.
  
  Enter the HTTPS port number for the NNMi Web server used to access NNMi. Enter a port number that is not being used by another program. The default value is 443.
  
  An input example follows:
  
  * Enter default port for HTTPS server =>
  
  * [443]
  
  8443
- Specify the installation directory.
  
  Enter the directory where you want to install the NNMi program. The default value is as follows:
  
  drive:\Program Files (x86)\Hitachi\Cm2NNMi\
  
  An input example follows:
  
  * Enter program install directory =>
  
  * [C:\Program Files (x86)\Hitachi\Cm2NNMi\]
  
  C:\Hitachi\Cm2NNMi\
  
  Important
  
  NNMi includes 32 bit-compatible programs, so it cannot be installed in the drive:\Program Files\ folder of a 64-bit system.
  
  We recommend that you install NNMi in drive:\Program Files (x86)\.
- Specify the data directory.
  
  Enter the directory where you want to store NNMi configuration files and data such as databases and log files. The default value is as follows:
  
  drive:\ProgramData\Hitachi\Cm2NNMi\
  
  An input example follows:
  
  * Enter program data directory =>
  
  * [C:\ProgramData\Hitachi\Cm2NNMi\]
  
  D:\NNMiData\
- Check the display of entered data and make sure that installation has started.
  
  The three data entries shown above are displayed. If there are no problems with the data displayed, enter yes to start installation. To change the entered data, enter no.
  
  An input example follows:
  
  * http port : 80
  
  * https port : 443
  
  * install directory : C:\Hitachi\Cm2NNMi\
  
  * data directory : D:\NNMiData\
  
  * Do you start installation with above settings you entered ? (yes/no)
  
  * If you need to change the settings, please enter no.
  
  yes
- Confirmation of the completion of installation
  
  If installation finishes normally, "Installation complete successfully." is displayed and the command prompt stops, so press the Enter key.
- Confirm whether to perform the preinstallation checks and continue the installation.
  
  The preinstallation checks will be performed first when installation starts.
  
  Note
  
  In order to verify the items listed in Table 1‒1: NNMi management server preinstallation checklist, the preinstallation check will verify that the ports used by NNMi are available.
  
  Do not install NNMi until you have verified that all the ports used by NNMi are available. For a list of the ports used by NNMi and the direction in which data passes through a firewall, see E. List of Ports Used by NNMi.
  
  If no problems are found in this preinstallation check, continue with the installation.
  
  If there is a problem with the preinstallation check, the installer will output the problem and ask whether you want to continue the installation. Enter yes to continue the installation or no to terminate the installation.
  
  Example of input when there is a problem in the preinstallation check:
  
  * Starting NNMi Precheck ...
  
  * TCP Port: [443] is used.
  
  * UDP Port: [162] is used.
  
  * NNMi Precheck result: NG
  
  * There are some problem(s) with the settings.
  
  * Do you want to continue NNMi installation ? (yes/no)
  
  * If you enter no, the installation will stop.
  
  no
  
  Important
  
  Do not use Ctrl+Z when entering this data. Entering Ctrl+Z suspends the installation. If the installation is suspended, resume the installation procedure from step 3.
  
  Note that the installation takes ten to twenty minutes or more. Do not suspend the installation once it is underway. Interrupting the installation creates undesirable conditions that might render re-installation by normal means impossible.
  
  Even if the precheck result is OK, this is not a guarantee that the installation will be successful. You must also make sure all the checklists in 1. Preinstallation Checklists are completed.
- Check the installation completion.
  
  After installation complete rightly, a message that "Installation complete successfully." is output. Then press the Enter key.
- Check the installation results.
  
  If the status shown in the last row of the log file %TEMP%\JP1NNMiInstaller.log is as follows, where a message stating that the process finished with [0] is output, installation was successful. If the status shows a value other than [0], installation might have failed.
  
  [Trace] Process finished with [0]

Execute NNMi commands in a command prompt window that is opened after the installation has finished. Commands will not run correctly if they are executed from a window opened before the installation has finished, because settings required by NNMi commands, such as the NNMi environment variables, will not have been configured yet.
