Installing Network Management
The following table lists the high-level steps for installing Network Management.
Item | Action | More information |

1 |
Installing the Probe for SNMP and Syslog Probe for Network Manager |
|
2 |
Optional: Configure the ObjectServer for integration with Network Manager by obtaining the ConfigOMNI script from the Network Manager installation package and running it against the ObjectServer. |
Optional: Preparing the ObjectServer for integration with Network Manager Important: If you have already installed Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, the Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge Library, and the Probe for
SNMP, you can now install Network Manager, and do not need to follow the
steps in this task. The Network Manager installer configures Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus for you during the
installation process. If the ObjectServer setup changes after you have already installed and
configured Network Manager and
Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, then you must
reintegrate the ObjectServer with Network Manager as described in this
topic.
