15.10.3 Status polling or configuration polling a device

This example assumes the following:

• Regional NNMi management server regional2 discovers and manages Node X.

• Global NNMi management server global1 connects with regional NNMi management server regional2.

See the following figure.

Figure 15‒2: Status polling or configuration polling a node

To status poll Node X from global1, do the following:

1. From global1, click Nodes in the Inventory workspace.

2. Select Node X from the nodes inventory.

3. Use the Actions > Polling > Status Poll menu to request a status poll of Node X.

4. NNMi management server global1 requests a status poll from regional NNMi management server regional2 and shows the results on your screen.

   Initiate the status poll request from global1 or regional2.

   You will see the same status poll results whether you initiate the status poll request from global1 or regional2.

If you want global1 to have the most current discovery information for Node X, do the following to configuration poll Node X from global1:

1. From global1, click Nodes in the Inventory workspace.

2. Select Node X from the nodes inventory.

3. Use the Action > Polling > Configuration Poll menu to request a configuration poll of Node X.

4. NNMi management server global1 requests a configuration poll from regional NNMi management server regional2 and shows the results on your screen.

   You will see the same configuration poll results whether you initiate the configuration poll request from global1 or regional2.
