Abstract

Network Manager V4.2 new features

Body

IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V4.2 was released on 19th February. This new version of the product has many new and changed features.

 

The first thing you'll notice is the installation process. It now uses IBM Installation Manager, and is designed to be faster and easier to use.

The online documentation now includes an installation checklist for your convenience, to help you to collect the information that you'll need to use during the installation process.

And if you need to install on AIX, now you can. V4.2 supports AIX.

 

V4.2 uses the Apache Storm real-time computation system to aggregate raw poll data into historical poll data, instead of Tivoli Data Warehouse.

 

Netcool Operations Insight users can use the new Network Health Dashboard to monitor and troubleshoot network health. The Network Health Dashboard monitors a selected network view, and displays device and interface availability within that network view. It also reports on performance by presenting graphs, tables, and traces of KPI data for monitored devices and interfaces.

 

Network Manager V4.2 uses functions of the Dashboard Application Services Hub within Jazz for Service Management to administer pages, folders, views, widgets, and console preference profiles.

 

There are also improvements to discovery, polling, GUI responsiveness, network maps, and more. See the Release Notes for more information.
