Installing and Deploying the NetMRI Operations Center
The NetMRI Operations Center provides a superset of NetMRI discovery and device management, that scales a distributed network management platform up to larger networks and larger deployments. You dedicate satellite NetMRI appliances, called collectors, to the tasks of device discovery and device management. You use a central Operations Center appliance to aggregate and view all data collected from the collector appliances, to view the operating state and manage configurations for all discovered network infrastructure devices and discovered IP networks, including routers, firewalls, load balancers, Ethernet L2/L3 switches, end hosts and end host networks, and much more. NetMRI Operations Center makes it easier to manage, control and secure the enterprise network.
Installation of Operations Center Controller appliances changes in Release 6.9. For initial appliance setup, you run the following sequence of Admin Shell commands on the Operations Center appliance from the NetMRI command line:
configure server license
configure server
configure tunserver
For each Collector appliance in your deployment, the command sequence is as follows:
configure server
license
register
