9 OWLView Quick Start Installation and Set Up Before Installing OWLView: OWLView runs under HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM). Prior to installing OWLView, HP OpenView NNM must be installed and started with the NNM command ovstart. See the HP OpenView Network Node Manager Products Installation Guide for HP OpenView NNM installation instructions and see the HP OpenView Using Network Node Manager for HP OpenView NNM startup and product usage instructions. 1. Extract OWLView file from CD: a. Create a directory on the HP UX system for OWLView: " Format: mkdir <owlview path> " Example: mkdir /usr/owlview b. Copy the owlviewu.tar file from the CD into the owlview directory. " Format: cp owlviewu.tar /usr/owlview " Examples: cp owlviewu.tar /usr/owlview cp owlviewu.tar\;1 /usr/owlview 2. Install OWLView: Run <owlview path>/util_hpux_10/install " Format: <owlview path>/util_hpux_10/install <owlview path> " Example: /usr/owlview/util_hpux_10/install /usr/owlview 3. Optional: Install OWL symbols into HP OpenView: To see NORAND devices on the HP OpenView s IP Map, cut and paste the lines in <owlview path>/config/oid_to_sym.owl into HP OpenView s oid_to_sym file, which is in /etc/opt/ov/share/conf/c. Once you have copied the oid_to_sym.owl entries into NNM s oid_to_sym file, run ovtopofix -u. This merges the new symbols into existing maps. Running OpenView with OWLView Once OWLView is installed, it starts along with HP OpenView NNM when NNM is started by the ovw command. For information about starting NNM, see the HP OpenView Using Network Node Manager guide. OVER

10 Quick Tips HP OpenView Maps HP OpenView NNM automatically discovers the network and paints and synchronizes an IP map upon startup. For information about creating maps using NNM, see the HP OpenView Using Network Node Manager guide. Wait for this operation to complete before generating OWLView maps. HP OpenView might not find all of the NORAND devices during its discovery process. HP OpenView uses the contents of the routers ARP caches to find devices. To ensure that HP OpenView finds all of the NORAND devices, run the ping-lan utility in the OWLView bin directory. " Format: <owlview-path>/bin/ping-lan subnet-prefix " Example: /usr/owlview/bin/ping-lan The above command sends out PINGs to devices NORAND OWLView Maps NORAND OWLView draws an OWL map based on information gathered through HP OpenView discovery and the information gathered through OWLView Refresh, Redraw, or OWLView autodiscovery.

38 Using OWLView SECTION 3 Discover OWL Network A goal of network management is to track the status of the network and to identify problems. To effectively track the status of a network, a network must first be drawn with all known network devices. Once the complete baseline map is drawn, periodic checks can determine if devices are up, down, or new to the network. The best practice is to create a baseline map of what the network is to look like when every node is up, save the map, and then use this map in the day-to-day tracking of network status. HP OpenView and OWLView provide tools to create and save network maps and to discover and track the status of your network. HP OpenView provides the tools to create network maps. OWLView provides tools to create a separate Open Wireless LAN map, showing all devices communicating through the Open Wireless LAN. An HP OpenView network map must be created and synchronized before the OWLView map is created. Creating an HP OpenView Network Map HP OpenView Network Node Manager automatically discovers the network at start up. When HP OpenView is started, the default map is automatically synchronized and drawn. See the HP OpenView Using Network Node Manager section for more information on the HP OpenView discovery and maps. 3-6 OWLView for HP OpenView for UNIX User s Guide
