Configuration of the StarKeeper II NMS

The LCS60 for Ethernet is compatible with the StarKeeper II NMS Releases 3.0 through 8.0 on the HP 720/730 platform and Release 3.0 and 4.2 on the 6386 plat- form.

Note: To verify the version of StarKeeper II NMS that you are running, log on to the StarKeeper II NMS as cnmsadm. To verify the version, the output of help version should contain the following line:

StarKeeper (R) II NMS RX.Y

where X.Y is the Release number.

Before the network administrator can use StarKeeper II NMS configuration commands to configure the StarKeeper II NMS's database to allow it to monitor individual LCS60s, a software package must be installed on the StarKeeper II NMS from a tape or floppy diskette.

After installing the software package and configuring the database, all standard StarKeeper II NMS alarm features will be available for LCS60 alarms. This includes all StarKeeper II NMS commands and utilities that access the alarm database, and all dynamic and graphic displays of alarms.

The procedures for installing the software package and then configuring the database depend on the specific release of the StarKeeper II NMS. Follow the appropriate procedures that follow.

Note: If you are upgrading an LCS50 to an LCS60, you must first delete the LCS50-NIK entry on the StarKeeper II NMS and re-enter the database record for the LCS60.
