6.3.32 NNM action address definition file (ssonnmactaddr.conf)

In an environment in which the monitoring manager interfaces with multiple networks that are not routed to each other, set the NNM action address definition file according to the operational requirements when you perform the following operation: Using NNMi cooperation (action cooperation) from a terminal that cannot communicate with the monitoring manager by using the IP address set by the change-my-address: key in the ssocolmng action definition file or ssoapmon action definition file.

This definition file is loaded when the ssocolmng and ssoapmon daemon processes start. Therefore, if the settings of this file are changed, you must restart those daemon processes.

(2) Description

The next table lists the items that must be, or can be defined in the NNM action address definition file.

Item	Explanation
`action-node-IP-address`	Specify IP addresses for the monitoring manager nodes or monitoring server nodes that use NNMi cooperation (action cooperation) functions. For the monitoring manager nodes, specify the IP address set by the `change-my-address:` key in the `ssocolmng` action definition file and `ssoapmon` action definition file. For the monitoring server nodes, specify the IP address that SSO uses for monitoring. The specification format differs depending on whether you specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address. To specify an IPv4 address, use the `n.n.n.n` format. For `n`, you can specify a decimal value in the range from 0 to 255, or an asterisk (``) as a wildcard character. To specify an IPv6 address, use the `[x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x]` format. For `x`, you can specify a hexadecimal value in the range from 0 to FFFF, or an asterisk (``) as a wildcard character.
`monitoring-manager-IP-address`	Specify the IP address of the monitoring manager with which SSO can communicate from a terminal that uses NNMi cooperation (action cooperation). Make sure that you specify the IP address in the `n.n.n.n` format.

Item

Explanation

action-node-IP-address

Specify IP addresses for the monitoring manager nodes or monitoring server nodes that use NNMi cooperation (action cooperation) functions.

For the monitoring manager nodes, specify the IP address set by the change-my-address: key in the ssocolmng action definition file and ssoapmon action definition file.
For the monitoring server nodes, specify the IP address that SSO uses for monitoring.

The specification format differs depending on whether you specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

To specify an IPv4 address, use the n.n.n.n format. For n, you can specify a decimal value in the range from 0 to 255, or an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character.

To specify an IPv6 address, use the [x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x] format. For x, you can specify a hexadecimal value in the range from 0 to FFFF, or an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character.

monitoring-manager-IP-address

Specify the IP address of the monitoring manager with which SSO can communicate from a terminal that uses NNMi cooperation (action cooperation). Make sure that you specify the IP address in the n.n.n.n format.

(3) Notes

Note the following when writing definitions in the NNM action address definition file:

If the file contains multiple action-node-IP-address entries that are the same, only the first specified entry takes effect, and the other entries are ignored.
If the file contains multiple action-node-IP-address entries that use wildcard characters corresponding to either the monitoring manager or monitoring server, only the first specified entry takes effect. For example, if the first action-node-IP-address entry in the file is *.*.*.* or [*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*], that entry takes effect on all action nodes.
