Quick Start

QuickStart Introduction

The following sections outline the steps to install a typical Dell OpenManage Network Manager

system and its subsequent first use. Because the software described here is both powerful and

flexible, this quickstart cannot describe all the details of available installations. Instead, this Guide

refers to those descriptions elsewhere or in online help. It also includes a “Pre-Flight” Checklist,

below. A typical installation includes the following:

• Installing and System Startup

• Configuring Dell OpenManage Network Manager Users

• Discover Your Network

• Resource Management

• Configuration Management

• Fault Management - Problem Diagnosis

• Performance Management - Troubleshooting

•CreateReports

• Collaborative Diagnosis

NOTE:

Before you begin installing Dell OpenManage Network Manager, make sure your hardware and network

are correctly configured. For more about that, see Getting Started on page 27 of the Dell OpenManage

Network Manager User Guide

“Pre-Flight” Checklist

Installation

❑Installation host: Log in as an administrative user. An administrative user can write to the

installation target directory. Do not log in with a user name that is Administrator on Win-

dows XP or a name that contains spaces. Also: You must have root access to install on UNIX,

but do not install as user root.

❑Remove Firewall barriers: Remove firewall barriers between hosts and/or between your

installatin and Monitored Devices. Best practice is to take down the firewall, install the

application, then put it back up.

❑Directories: The source directory should not be the same as installation target directory

❑MySQL: Some Linux packages include MySQL by default. Uninstall any existing MySQL if

you are using that database with OpenManage Network Manager.

❑Fixed IP Address: OpenManage Network Manager requires a static IP address.

Starting OpenManage Network Manager (After installation)

❑Host Login: Do not start application when logged in as root or dorado.

❑Database Running, Connected: Make sure your database is running. MySQL installs auto-

matically as a service.

❑Start Application Server: If you installed OpenManage Network Manager as a service, right-

click the procman icon (in the tray), or the startappserver icon, and start application server.

The Windows tray icon may prematurely indicate application server has started.

Workaround: Wait a little, and the application server will catch up to the icon.

When initiated from the tray icon, startup changes its color from red to yellow to green, when

complete. Once the icon has turned green, the web client may display the message “"The Dell

OpenManage Network Manager server is currently starting up. This page will refresh when

the Dell OpenManage Network Manager server has fully started." This message indicates the

Dell OpenManage Network Manager application server requires extra time to start. When the

message does occur connect the web browser again after a few minutes.

Default login is

admin

, password

admin

Discovery (After startup)

❑Connectivity: Insure application server has connectivity to devices to discover. One easy way

to do this is to ping the discovery target from application server.

❑Device Login/Passwords: Needed for discovery targets. Typically these include SNMP com-

munities and CLI login / password combinations.

❑Device Access: Insure OpenManage Network Manager’s host is authorized to manage to the

device(s). Configure devices’ ACLs to admit this application’s access / management.

Backup / Restore / Deploy (After device discovery)

❑FTP Server: Make sure an external FTP server is running and has network access to the target

device(s). Typically FTP servers must be on the same side of firewalls as managed devices.

OpenManage Network Manager’s internal FTP server is for testing only.

Alarms / Monitoring

❑Minimize Network Traffic: Configure “chatty” devices to quiet down. Use Suppress Alarms

to keep performance at acceptable levels, and database archiving so the database does not

fill up.

Licenses and Upgrades

IMPORTANT: Dell OpenManage Network Manager 5.2 can only be installed as an initial install or

upgraded from version 4.4. In general, we strongly recommend installing OpenManage Network

Manager 5.2 as an initial install. If you are running OMNM 4.3 or earlier version, you should

uninstall OMNM in order to install OMNM 5.2 on the same system. If you are running OMNM

4.4 and choose to upgrade, OMNM will change and migrate only a limited amount of data from to

version 5.2. This results in some data and settings being changed or no longer accessible. Refer to

the User Guide and Release Notes for additional information.

If you choose to install OMNM 5.2 as an upgrade from OMNM 4.4, you can continue to manage

previously discovered devices after reinstalling your license key. However, you will be required to

update your OMNM 4.4 license to an OMNM 5.2 license to enable the new OMNM 5.2 features.

If after an upgrade you have more than 10 devices discovered, you will only be able to remove

devices and not be allowed to add any device until your OMNM 4.4 license has been converted to

OMNM 5.2 license format. This can be done by contacting your sales representative or going to

http://www.doradosoftware.com/dell/upgrade-info.html. Refer to the User Guide and Release Notes

for additional information. There is no charge for updating your OMNM 4.4 to the OMNM 5.2

license format. Also, see Installing Licensing on page 55 or see How to: Register a License on page

59 of the User Guide for instructions about installing licenses.

Recovering licenses

—Dorado Software can provide licenses to replace any lost or misplaced

licenses on request. This can be done by contacting your sales representative or going to http:/

/www.doradosoftware.com/dell/upgrade-info.html. Refer to the User Guide and Release Notes

for additional information.

You can contact the Sales rep that provided the license, contact Dorado Software or call the the

Dorado Software help desk, or submit a trouble ticket requesting a license upgrade.

When you license new features, you must restart the application server.

Installing and System Startup

Initiate installation by executing

win_install.exe

(Windows), or linux_install (Linux). Click

through the installation wizard, accepting the license and making the appropriate entries.

During installation, one screen lets you select the application’s memory size. Best practice is to

select the largest available after 1 - 4 GB is set aside for the operating system.

Tip

You can re-set the selected memory size after installation too, with the following properties in

\owareapps\installprops\lib\installed.properties:

oware.server.min.heap.size=1024m

oware.server.max.heap.size=1024m

When you have installed and successfully deployed Dell OpenManage Network Manager, you can

continue to the next steps. See Installation and Startup on page 28 of the Dell OpenManage

Network Manager

User Guide

for step-by-step instructions for a typical installation. For more

complex installations, consult the OpenManage Network Manager’s Administration Section of the

User Guide.

Finally, you must do the following to see Dell OpenManage Network Manager:

If you did not install it as a service, manually start application server. You can use the

Start >

Programs > Redcell

menu in Windows, or simply type

startappserver

in a command

shell.

If it is installed as a service, and the tray icon is red, right-click that icon and select

Start

. Application server monitors your network even when the client is not running.

If it is not already running, start the web server. Right-click the tray icon for web server

and select

Start service

NOTE:

On Linux start (or stop) the webserver with scripts startportal.sh start (or startportal.sh stop) located in

the oware/synergy/tomcat-x.x.x/bin directory.

To see the client interface, open a browser, and enter this in the URL field:

http://[hostname or host IP address]:8080.

admin

(password

admin

Dell OpenManage Network Manager should appear with the standard set of page

configurations for your package. You can typically reconfigure these defaults. See the

User

Guide

for guidance about how to do that.

NOTE:

Instead of

oware

, in Unix systems type

. /etc/.dsienv

—[dot][space]/etc/[dot]dsienv)

Configuring Dell OpenManage Network

Manager Users

As an Administrator, you can configure Users, and Roles to identify support teams (examples:

administration, engineering and operations) and configure permissions. After creating them, add

Users to roles which configure their permissions for access and action. The following describes how

to do this.

How To:

Add Users and connect them to Roles

Add Users with the following steps:

Click

Go to > Control Panel

and navigate to Portal > Users and Organizations

Click the

Add > User

menu item at the top of the

Users and Organizations

screen.

Enter the details of the new user. If you are editing an existing user, more fields appear.

Screen

Name,

and

Email Address

are required

Optionally, you can enter

Name, Job Title

, and so on.

After you click

Save

notice that the right panel expands to include additional information.

Make sure you specify a

Password

Notice that if you are editing an existing user, or creating a new one, you can use the links on

the right to configure connections with

Roles.

Roles, in particular, configure the OpenManage

Network Manager functional permissions for that user. For example the group of

Operators

would likely have more limited capabilities than

Administrators

Click

Save

again, and the user you just configured should appear listed in the

Users and

Organizations

screen when you select

View > All Users

To assign a user to a role, click

Action > Permissions

and check the appropriate box next to

the role. Configure OpenManage Network Manager functional permissions for these roles in

Roles.

How To:

Add and Configure User Roles / Permissions

Add and configure User Roles with the following steps:

Click

Go to > Control Panel

and navigate to Portal > Roles

Click the

Add

tab under the heading at the top of the page, and select Regular

Roles

. Notice

that you can also add roles that configure permissions for sites and organizations.

Enter the details of the new role (

Name, Title, Description

), then

Save

it.

Click Portal > Roles’

View All

button to see a list of available roles, including the one you

added.

By clicking the

Action

icon to the right of any listed Role, you can also select the role’s

permissions to alter web portal access in a subsequent screen.

Click

to see available permissions organized by

Read, Write, Execute, Add

Delete

actions.

After you have selected permissions, click

Apply

to accept them and add them to the role.

Notice that you can revisit this role, manage it and its membership with the

Action

button to

the right of the role. You can also add users to the group by selecting and editing that user.

How To:

Add Locations

Locations let you manage and view your

network by location or branches. To add

locations, follow these steps:

Find the Locations portlet (typically on

the Admin pages).

Right-click anywhere in the Locations

portlet, and click

New

Click Save after entering all required

details to save new location.

Tip

To see a portlet in Expanded rather than Summary mode, click + in the upper right corner.

How To:

Discover Your Network

To begin managing resources in your network, you must discover them to store their information in

the application database. This begins either with the

Resource Discovery

Quick Navigation button

or the

Discovery Profiles

portlet.

Discovery profiles configure

equipment discovery for Dell

OpenManage Network Manager.

The summary view displays the

Name, Description, Default

(the

green check indicates the default

profile), whether the profile is

Scheduled

and

Next Execution

Date

for scheduled discovery.

Follow these steps to start

discovering equipment on your

network.

Click the

Resource Discovery

button in Quick Navigation or right-click the Discovery Profiles

list and select

New.

(If you have previously exported profiles, you can

Import

them. You can

also

Export Selection,

Export all

profiles in this manager.

Open

an existing profile to edit

it.)

After this beginning, if you clicked the

Resource Discovery

button, the Quick Discovery

screen appears where you can enter device identifiers (typically IP Address(es)), and

authentications, then execute discovery. The Quick Discovery screen can also discover the

default Discovery profile if you have configured one already.

If you clicked

New

in the Discovery portlet, the Discovery Profile Editor appears, with a step-

by-step set of screens to configure resource discovery, as described below.

You can navigate through the Profile Editor by clicking the screen tab names at the top, or by

clicking the

button at the bottom of the page.

Discovery Profile Editor

Use this editor to configure discovery. Baseline discovery is the initial discovery to compare to later

discoveries. Follow these steps to discover equipment on your network:

General

General Parameters

—Set the

Name, Description

and whether this profile is the baseline

default.

Profile Options

—Select the

Device Naming Format

(how the device appears in lists, once

discovered), whether to

Manage by

IP address or hostname, and check whether to

Resolve

Hostname(s), ICMP Ping Device(s), Manage ICMP-only Device(s),

Manage Unclassified

Device(s).

This last checkbox determines whether Dell OpenManage Network Manager

attempts to manage devices that have no device driver installed. Management may be

possible, but more limited than for devices with drivers installed, provided this capability is

one you have licensed.

The Filters (by

Location, Vendor,

Device Type

) let you narrow the list of devices discovered

by the selected item(s). As the screen says, this filtering will not have any impact on the

processing that occurs during the Inspection step.

CAUTION:

Model numbers may change when you upgrade. You may need to change any pre-existing filters that

refer to model numbers. These may not change until you perform a resync on some devices.

Network

After you click

Next,

the

Network

screen appears.

Network Type and Addresses

—Select the type of entry in the pick list (

IP Address(es),

CIDR Address, Hostname, SNMP Broadcast, Subnet

Tip

You can specify an IP Address range by separating the beginning and end with a dash. For example:

192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.240.

The tooltips in the data entry field describe what valid entries look like.

Authentication

—You can

Create new

, or

Choose existing

authentications. (See Discovery

Profiles on page 65 for details.) Notice that authentications appear with

Edit / Delete

icons

and

Up / Down

arrows on their right. The

Edit

icon opens the authentication editor. Click the

arrows to arrange the order in which credentials are tried (top first). Ordering only applies

when two credentials are of the same type.

Actions

You can configure Actions to run as part of discovery. By default, the actions screen includes

the

Resync

action. Use

Add Action

to select others to enter here. You can also edit parameters

(if available), delete and re-order the actions listed here by clicking the icons to the right of

them. Dell OpenManage Network Manager executes them in top-to-bottom order.

Inspection

Inspect Network using your current settings

—This screen lets you preview the discovery

profile’s actions and access to devices. If you clicked

rather than

Inspect

at the bottom of

the previous screen, click

Start Inspection

to begin the inspection process for selected

authentications that validates the device’s credentials.

Notice that the

Auth Test Status

fields below listed authentications indicates the success or

failure of Ping, Hostname resolution, and the listed Authentications.

If the device does not match all required authentications, you can click the

Fix it

icon

(wrench and screwdriver crossed) to edit them for the selected device. You can also click

Te s t

Device

Create New,

Choose Existing

authentications while in the editor clicking the

Fix it

icon displays.
