Getting Started with CMNM


Starting a CMNM Session


Note   CEMF should already be running. If, upon starting, you receive a message that CEMF is not running, do the following:

To start CEMF:


Step 1   Log in as root.

Step 2   From the command line on the terminal window, type:

cd CMNM_ROOT/bin

where CMNM_ROOT is the CMNM installation root directory (for example, /opt/CSCOmgcm).

Step 3   Type:

cemf start



To start a CMNM session:


Step 1   Log in as your user ID.

Step 2   From the command line on the terminal window, type:

CMNM_ROOT/bin/cemf session

where CMNM_ROOT is the CMNM installation root directory (for example, /opt/CSCOmgcm).

You see the CEMF Login screen shown in Figure 4-1.

Step 3   Enter your user name and password, then click Ok to proceed.

If you enter an unknown user name or password, you see an error message.


Note    The default user ID is admin and the default password is admin.

Step 4   Click Ok, then enter a valid user name and corresponding password.

You have three attempts to specify a valid user name and corresponding password. When you specify a valid user name and password, the session starts and the CEMF Launchpad screen, shown in Figure 4-2, is displayed.

If, after three attempts, you do not specify a valid user name and password, the session does not start and the Login window closes.



Starting Applications from the CEMF Launchpad

CMNM is built upon the Cisco Element Management Framework (CEMF). CEMF provides alarm filtering and sorting, enhanced auto-discovery, data collection, and object group management.

CMNM provides the Cisco MGC node-specific functionality as an extension to the base CEMF services.

The CEMF Launchpad, shown in Figure 4-2, is used to access CMNM's features.

To launch an application:


Step 1   From the CEMF Launchpad, click the desired application's icon.

The selected application is launched. A busy icon and a message in the status bar is displayed during launch. More than one instance of an application can be opened at any one time.


Note   If an application is already open, it appears in the Windows list. Click Window and choose the application you require from the pull-down menu.



Quitting a CMNM Session


Step 1   You can quit in the following ways:

Step 2   A dialog box prompts you if you want to quit the CEMF Manager System. Click Yes to quit the session.

All active applications are closed and the session terminates.
