   Configuring An Operations Center Controller From an Existing NetMRI Instance

   The OC can import a library of scripts, custom reports, custom jobs, policies, and user data from an existing NetMRI appliance. The instance from which you are importing does not become the OC itself. 1. Choose

   1. Choose the NetMRI instance as a reference system from which data will be copied. All scripts, policies, settings, and user accounts from this instance will be transferred to the Operations Center Controller.
      When adding multiple NetMRI instances to an Operations Center environment, the scripts, policies, and settings may differ between NetMRI instances. Only information from the reference NetMRI is imported into the Operations Center. Therefore, any of the deltas you want imported into the Operations Center must either be manually added to the reference NetMRI or imported into the Operations Center after the reference NetMRI is restored on the Operations Center.

   ...

   1. To configure the Controller, do the following:

      ...

      1. 1. Sign in to the

      ...

      1. 1. administrative shell on the Operations Center Controller.

      ...

      1. 1. At the command prompt, enter the configure tunserver command.

      ...

      1. 1. When prompted to enter the reference system serial number or return to skip, type the serial number of the NetMRI reference system and then press Enter. In each prompt, defaults are shown in square brackets [ ]. To accept the default, simply press Enter.

      ...

      1. 1. When prompted to use these settings, enter y.

      ...

      1. 1. When prompted to restart the Controller, enter y. The complete package of scripts, policies, and user data is downloaded by the Operations Center. You install the data in the following step.
      2. To register the reference system with the Controller, do the following:
         1. Sign in to the administrative shell on the reference system.
         2. At the command prompt, enter the register command.
         3. When prompted to register this system, enter y.
      3. To define restore settings on the Controller and install the uploaded reference data, do the following:
         1. Sign in to the administrative shell on the Controller.
         2. At the command prompt, enter the restore-settings command.
         3. When prompted to continue with import, enter y.

      ...

      1. 1. The reference data is then installed on the Controller.
         2. When prompted to restart the Controller, enter y.

       5. To re-register the reference system unit with the Controller, do the following:

      ...

            b. At the command prompt, enter  the enter the register command.

            c. When prompted to register the system, enter y. The Collector restarts. After restarting, the instance will be a Collector in the Operations Center system.

      As part of the registration process, the admin password on each Collector synchronizes with the password on the Operations Center Controller. After the registration is complete, the admin password for the Collector may be different than the password you initially used to log in to the admin shell on that instance.

      After registration, the NetMRI GUI is not available on the reference NetMRI unit. All the access to the unit must be through the Controller.

         3. When prompted, enter y to complete the configuration.
      3. At the command prompt, enter configure server and then complete the following (values you entered in the configure ip command are the default values here):
         1. Enter your network, server, and domain names.
         2. Enter the NTP time server if applicable.
         3. Enter the time zone region to be used for timestamps within NetMRI.
         4. Enter the location within your time zone region.
         5. Enter IP address and the Subnet Mask for the NetMRI system. Enter the IPv6 address and the IPv6 prefix if applicable.
         6. Enter the default gateway. Enter the IPv6 default gateway if applicable.
         7. Enter n for the scan port.
         8. Enter the DNS server(s) for NetMRI.
         9. Review your settings. If you accept the settings, enter n.
         10. Enter y to configure the server with the settings you just entered. 
         11. Wait while NetMRI configures the network and sets the web interface to use the new IP address.
         12. When prompted, enter y.
         13. Restart the server and reboot.
         14. At the command prompt, enter exit to log out.
