  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
  
  Note that the installation takes ten to twenty minutes or more. Do not interrupt the installation once it is underway. Interrupting the installation creates undesirable conditions that could 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.
