From the Inside Flap
Preface
This book is about planning, implementing, and maintaining Hewlett-Packard OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) for the corporate network.
The book isn't a rehash of the excellent NNM manuals or training workbooks. It is recommended that the reader attend an NNM training class before using this book and deploying NNM.
Most importantly, this text is not a marketing document. The author has been with NNM since the 1.0 days when the product wasn't based on the developer's kit, and the main application was called xnm. The material between the covers is based on the fairly unique perspective of an HP consultant.
This book focuses on the UNIX version of NNM and attempts to remain version-agnostic. Where certain features are version-specific, this is noted.
Finally, the book is written for people with some experience in network operation, management, planning, and configuration.
A comprehensive glossary of network and system terminology is provided for reference.
