Installing and Using the PrismaView Software
Installing and Using the PrismaView Software
Introduction
Consult the PrismaView CD for installation information. The Help tab in
PrismaView provides assistance in configuring/managing modules.
If Using PrismaView Software with HP OpenView NNM
During the installation, PrismaView software will ask if HP OpenView NNM is
installed on the management PC. Click Yes to integrate the appropriate files.
Once in OpenView, highlight the media converter icon and select the media
converter; OpenView will then launch PrismaView software.
If Not Using PrismaView Software
If using an application other than PrismaView software for management, integrate
the SNMP vendor files (a.k.a. MIBs) into the application.
The SNMP agent uses the following MIB, which can be found in the MIB directory
on the CD included with the chassis: MCIMC.MIB.
Refer to the application's documentation for information on how MIB files are
integrated.
Update Manager
PrismaView offers the option of scheduling an update search for devices listed in the
Network outline.
1 Within PrismaView, select Tools/SNMP Options from the navigation toolbar.
2 Select Update Manager Options, and a dialog box will be displayed, in which
you can select when to run the update search.
This option enables the end user to determine if they have the latest firmware, and
download the latest if they do not. It does not automatically run the download, so
the end user can review the release note included with the binary file, and decide
whether to download it or not.
