Tool Definition configuration
A Tool Definition (TDEF) file for HP Systems Insight Manager is provided with the Insight Integration. This
file provides menu definitions that enable the NNM to be launched directly from HP Systems Insight
Manager.
1. Copy the file nnm.xml from the /hpsim directory to the HP Systems Insight Manager\tools directory
on the HP Systems Insight Manager server.
2. Edit the TDEF file nnm.xml, perform a search, and replace the string "localhost" with the name or IP
address of your NNM server.
3. Open a command prompt, and change to the HPSIM\tools directory.
4. Run the mxtool -a -f nnm.xml command to load the new tool definition.
5. Close the browser and log in HP Systems Insight Manager to view the new tool menus. Run the
mxtool -r -f nnm.xml command to remove the tool definition.
