Install the Auto-Discovery Patch on Avaya Trouble Tracker
The NMSI application contains the Auto-Discovery patch that allows you to monitor early
releases of the Avaya legacy systems below from Avaya Trouble Tracker:
• DEFINITY G1 and G2
•DIMENSION
• System 75 and 85
• Monitor 1
Only the system administrator or root user should execute the procedure to install the
Auto-Discovery Patch on an Avaya Trouble Tracker.
Note: This chapter reflects the HP OpenView environment. UNIX Stand-Alone system
users use the DNM GUI script to access the information. See "Stand-Alone Access
to DNM" on page 133 for more information.
Auto-Discovery
patch The Auto-Discovery patch allows the NMSI to find the legacy systems that are connected
to an Avaya Trouble Tracker and create the Avaya Legacy map on OpenView or NetView.
When you execute the Auto-Discovery command, the NMSI updates the objects on the
legacy map with the current alarm status.
The NMSI also provides telnet access to the Avaya Trouble Tracker, where you can view
alarm and error information for the legacy systems.
You cannot view system or alarm data for legacy equipment from either the NMS legacy
map or the DEFINITY Network Management (DNM) product.
