Network Manager Server Configuration Utility

The Network Manager Server Configuration Utility can be used after the Network Manager is installed to configure a mail server for issuing e-mail alerts, configure a Web server port, enable security settings and run a check and repair procedure on the Network Manager database.

The Network Manager Server Configuration Utility standalone application is installed on the host PC during the Network Manager setup. Select the Network Manager Server Configuration Utility in the Start menu of the Network Manager directory.

Configuring the Utility

Restart the Network Manager server after performing any modifications to enable the new settings to take effect.

•Checking and Repairing a Database

Configuring a Mail Server

The Mail Server tab enables you to configure a mail server to issue e-mail alerts. It also enables you to perform a test to ensure the mail server is valid.

Configuring Security

The Security tab enables you to specify whether clients can view SNMP community names for elements in locations of the interface where community details are configured and displayed.

The following locations display SNMP Community details.

•The Access tab of selected elements in the Network Tree view.

•The Element Access tab in the Settings view.

•The Add Auto-detect Access Information window and the Edit Auto-detect Access Information window selected on the Auto-detect tab of the Settings view.

To view SNMP community names, use the following procedure:

Procedure

Configuring the Time Zone

The Time Zone tab allows you to configure the time zone. The value that you configure influences the time that appears in the Network Manager Log files.

By default the value is set to the Network Manager server time zone.

Checking and Repairing a Database

The Database tab allows you to perform check and repair procedures on Network Manager database tables.

Network Manager database tables have two components: data and indexes.

The CHECK procedure performs the following:

•Checks for consistency of all indexes.

•Scans data rows to verify deleted links.

•Calculates and verifies key checks for all the data rows.

•The Extended procedure performs a complete index check.

If an error is found in a table, you are prompted to confirm repairs to the table. You can confirm each error individually or all errors at the same time.

The repair procedure deletes corrupted data rows and rebuilds all indexes. The extended check procedure rebuilds all indexes row by row which improves scanning speed and compression ratios.
