re: NNMi / NNMi Advanced / NNM iSPI Performance patch available has new functionality

Hi Freddie,

We are shipping 2 new Performance products -

1. iSPI Performance for Metrics - This would be the product which would eventually replace our current iSPI for Performance. We are working on the transition plan. But, if you are interested in moving to the Metrics product, you can exchange your licenses and do so immediately.

2. iSPI Performance for Traffic - This is a NEW product and would need to be purchased seperately.

This is a network traffic monitoring solution that is based on monitoring and collecting traffic data flowing across the network in order to create a complete picture of network traffic, identifying who (servers, clients) & what (applications) are making use of network bandwidth. NNM iSPI Performance for Traffic (Windows only) is designed for network operations to be able to accurately account for network usage, quickly isolate performance issues, provide rapid MTTR, and reduce network costs.

You should be able to find the support matrix in terms of servers and OS on the HP docs website - support.openview.hp.com/.../manuals

Thanks

Aruna Ravichandran

Aruna,

So when will the iSPI for Performance product be replaced by iSPI Performance for Traffic and Metrics?

Will these require seperate servers to run on or same server?

Thanks

With 8.13 (patch 5), we are announcing 2 new products to enhance our Performance Suite of products. NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics 8.13 and NNM iSPI Performance for Traffic 8.13 are shipping today (electronic media). Physical media ships next week.

1. iSPI Performance for Metrics -- This would be very similar to our existing iSPI Performance product, but long term this new Performance for Metrics product will replace our existing iSPI Performance product. The new Metrics product has better scalability and will be able to scale along with NNMi

2. We are introducing another brand new Performance product - iSPI Performance for Traffic. The HP NNM iSPI Performance for Traffic 8.13 is a net new product to the portfolio. The product has the ability to collect traffic information (NetFlow / sFlow), store it and present it in interesting ways. The UI is the exact same UI as the HP NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics 8.13 (which is the replacement for the NNM iSPI for Performance 8.11). In fact, you have the ability to navigate between the two types of data in time/object context for troubleshooting purposes. Like the iSPI Performance for Metrics, iSPI Performance for Traffic has a connection to NNMi for topological context.

Thanks

I downloaded the HP NA 7.5 evaluation using the link above, but it was just a 3.5GB ISO, with no trial license.dat. Where do I get the license.dat?

Thanks!

Hi Mike, I'm not aware of intrusion detection systems that deploy on individual network devices, as they typically run on the network, inspecting all packet traffic, not just traffic to an individual device.

Mike — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:33:11 GMT

Can HP NA be used to deploy an intrusion detection system to network devices?

Hello,

Application Failover support is now available with NNMi over the WAN.

We dont have a seperate whitepaper, but we have a complete description on this feature and how to configure it in the latest version of the NNMi Deployment NNMi Deployment guide (version 8.11, patch 3). Here is the link to the guide on HP's manuals website (need HP Passport sign-in):

support.openview.hp.com/.../nnmi_deployment_guide_81x_p3.pdf

In the above guide, go to chapter - Adminstration --> Configuring NNMi Application Failover --> Application Failover and Multi-Subnets.

re: NNM iSPI for Performance - The new kid on the block

Michael Procopio — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:47:48 GMT

Regarding:

Is there a way to show the collected data like NNM 7x does from Show Data in SNMP Data Collect & Threshold, then export the data to a csv file and get a file, let say, with 6 inputs in an interval of an 1 hour for every interface?

I'm not sure if the question is about navigation where you show the data from or exporting the data.

You can navigate to iSPI Performance reports from a number of places including the pull down ACTIONS menu.

If you use the ad-hoc reporting capability you can export any data you want in CSV and other formats.

Michael Procopio — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:42:00 GMT

The integration with iSPI Performance is only with OVPI. We don't have an integration with PM because. PM is focused on system/app metrics and iSPI Performance is only for network data.

I see a reference to application failover whitepaper but cannot find it.
