NAME

snm - Site/SunNet/Domain Manager Console

SYNOPSIS

snm [-i] [-q] [-v1] [-v2] MDB-files ...

DESCRIPTION

snm is the Site/SunNet/Domain Manager Console. snm is used primarily for configuration, performance, and fault management [1]. It enables you to model and visualize an arbitrary collection of network elements and to coordinate agent activity to gather network information.

snm is an an OPEN LOOK application [2], [3]. The paradigm is the same as filemgr(1) - elements are represented as glyphs in a hierarchical, graphical display. You handle objects through direct manipulation, glyph menu operations, and element properties.

The Console Properties window allows you to define preferences for your instance of the Console.

On-line help is available for all Console windows and tools. For information on using the Console, see the Site/SunNet/Domain Manager Administration Guide and the Site/SunNet/Domain Manager Application and Agent Development Guide.

OPTIONS

Each option is recognized as a separate argument.

-i
Initialize the run-time management database (MDB) from structure and instance files (both implied by the configuration file /etc/opt/SUNWconn/snm/snm.conf for Solaris 2.x or /etc/snm.conf for Solaris 1.x and explicitly specified on the command line). Otherwise, snm will use the run-time database from the last run.

-q
Suppress the QuickStart popup.

-v1
Converts an MDB file saved in SNM 1.x format to SNM 2.0 format.

-v2
Denotes an MDB file in 2.0 format. Use this argument only when loading additional files that are in SNM 1.x format. If all the files you are loading are in SNM 2.0 format, you do not need this argument.

MDB-files
A list of structure and instance schema files to be read into the run-time database. If the run-time database is not being initialized, these files are appended to it.

EXAMPLES

The following command:
snm -i -v1 old_file1 old_file2
converts the files old_file1 and old_file2 from SNM 1.x format into SNM 2.0 format and loads them into the Console.

The following command:
snm -i -v1 old_file1 old_file2 -v2 new_file1 new_file2 converts the files old_file1 and old_file2 from SNM 1.x format into SNM 2.0 format and loads them, along with new_file1 and new_file2 , into the Console.
