NOTE: For a Dell managed node to also act as a management station, the SNMP set-community-namefield must be assigned a value in the snmpd.conf file. Be sure to configure the set-community-namefield on the NNM SE for a Windows NT operating system. To do this, you must modify $ov_conf/snmpagent/ snmpd.conf. Remove the comment near the bottom of the snmpd.conf file and enter a value for the set-community-namefield.

14.Reboot your system.

NOTE: If you want to install both a Dell managed node and a management workstation on the same server, make sure to reboot the server between the two installations.
