About CiscoWorks 2000 RME

Importing Devices from HPOV and Popul ating the Databases

In this case study, CW2000 RME relies on the automatic-discovery mechanism in HPOV to discover devices in the network. CW2000 RME extracts the following information from the HPOV database after HPOV discovers the devices:

•SNMP community strings

•Device IP addresses

•Device names

Device information is stored in the following database locations:

•For HPOV, /var/opt/OV/share/databases

•For CW2000, /opt/CSCOpx/objects/db/px.db

Note Alternatively, you can use Cisco Works for Switched Internetworking (CWSI) to discover devices instead of using HPOV.

To import the list of devices and SNMP community strings from HPOV into CW2000 RME, follow these steps:

Step 1 Verify that the basic setup for HPOV is working correctly.

Incorrect SNMP community strings prevent polling cycles. For basic verification steps, see the “Task 7—Using HP OpenView to Create the SNMP Framework” section on page 101.

Step 2 From the root directory, verify that the HPOV database daemon is running in the background by entering the ovstatus ovwdb command:

aurora:/ ->ovstatus ovwdb

object manager name: ovwdb

state:	RUNNING
PID:	442
last message:	Initialization complete.
exit status:	-
aurora:/ ->

Note If a daemon is not running, try restarting it by using the commands ovstop daemon-nameand ovstart daemon-name. If a daemon is still not running, an HPOV license issue may exist. For more information, go to http://www.openview.hp.com

Step 3 From a web browser, log in to CW2000 RME.

Step 4 Click on the Admin menu on the left toolbar.

Step 5 Select Inventory: Import from Local NMS.
