9.2 Reducing the maximum number of nodes displayed in a Network Overview map

The Network Overview map opens a map containing up to 250 of the most highly connected nodes in the Layer 3 network. If this map contains too many nodes, it might respond slowly when moving nodes or it might become too complex for practical viewing. You can change the maximum number of nodes displayed in the Network Overview map as shown in the following example.

Example: Suppose you want to reduce the maximum number of nodes displayed in the Network Overview map from 250 to 100.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Edit the following file:

   • Windows: %NNM_PROPS%\nms-ui.properties

   • Linux: $NNM_PROPS/nms-ui.properties

2. Look for the following line:

   #!com.hp.nnm.ui.networkOverviewMaxNodes=250

   Specify the maximum value for the displayed node as follows:

   com.hp.nnm.ui.networkOverviewMaxNodes=100

   Important

   Make sure to remove the #! characters at the beginning of the line.

3. Save your changes.

4. Execute the following commands to restart NNMi:

   ovstop
   ovstart
