Course Name:	HP OpenView Network Node Manager on Windows I (essentials of use and administration) Training
Deployment Options:	Onsite - Instructor-Led Training
Course Duration:	5 Days

Introduction:

Learn how HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) 7.5 can be used to maximize your network's availability and performance. You will explore the operational and administrative aspects of NNM on Microsoft Windows systems. This is the first of three courses in the NNM curriculum.

Customize it:

This 5-day HP Openview NNM on Windows course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of HPOV training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization’s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren’t too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you into our “standard”, one size fits all, class.

Audience:

NNM Channel Partners: Consultants, system architects, integrators and planners NNM Customers: System and network administrators HP Software Engineers involved in pre-sales and post-sales

Prerequisite

You should have experience as a MS Windows system/network administrator, and be able to: Describe the OSI network layers; identify important protocols, addressing schemes, terms and equipment used at each layer. Describe the function of a hub, bridge, switch, router and gateway. Configure network parameters used to place a system on a network. Explain how route tables and ARP caches are populated, and used by systems and routers for network communication. Use ping to test network connectivity. Edit a file using notepad and wordpad. Execute commands from a command window. Create and use environment variables, as well as a .bat file.

Course Objectives:

After completing this course you will be able to: Describe key NNM 7.5 features, such as the new dynamic views Navigate and interpret all NNM user interfaces Use maps and submaps to develop a network architecture that will maximize network performance Use the simple network management protocol (SNMP) to access and change network configuration and status parameters Troubleshoot problems in an NNM environment and use key concepts to dramatically reduce down time Describe the NNM architecture, processes, and databases Configure NNM discovery domains (extend and limit) Describe the Extended Topology component and enable its operation Configure alarms to provide specific feedback and take automatic actions Collect unique MIB data from any managed network nodes Save data to the Data Warehouse for long term trend analysis Backup the NNM data
