IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 Implementation Sample Questions:

1. During a deployment, a customer has identified location data that they would like added to both chassis and interface events from active (IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 (ITNM)) and passive (traps, syslog etc.) event sources.
This data has been successfully imported into the Discovery process using supported stitching techniques and appears in the topology as three custom Extralnfo fields (see below).
Ncpjnode1 has been configured to transfer this location data to a custom extended NCIM database table named locations (see exhibit below). This data is only held on EntityType 1 (chassis entities) to reduce the NCIM load.
The customer has identified three ObjectServer fields that they would like this data :o be added to for all suitable events-NmosGeography, NmosCountry, and NmosSite

Example record in Model Description of the ncim.locations table

The ModelNcimDb cofiguration has been modified to map:

Based on the scenario, what is the correct stitcher method to populate a record with Extralnfo > m_Geogrpahy location data and then update the NmosGeography ObjectServer field?
Assume that a chassis and locationData Records have been defined and the mainNodeld is set to the Entityld of the chassis of the in scope event.
Example:
Record chassis;
Record locationData.
text geog-'.
chassis = GwEntityData( mainNodeld);

A) NmosGeography = eval(text, '&8<Extralnfo->m_Geography'); GwEnrichEvent (NmosGeography);
B) [email protected]_Geography; @locationData.NmosGeography = geog; GwEnrichEvent(locationData);
C) [email protected]; @locationData.NmosGeography = geog. GwEnrichEvent( locationData);
D) NmosGeogrpahy = @chassis.locations.GEOGRAPHY; @locationData.NmosGeography = eval(text, '$NmosGeography'); GwEnrichEvent (locationData);

2. Click the Exhibit button.

A user is trying to create a network view that combines standard IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 (ITNM) topology attributes with a custom ObjectServer column. Whenthey use the drop-down list in the Network View Filter builder the column name does not appear. Which action displays the custom ObjectServer column?

A) edit the ncimMetaDataxmlTopoviz configuration file to ensure that the custom name is included in the searchable columns for the activeEvent table
B) modiiythe ncim.mainNodedetailsviewto include the column name taking care to match the name and type exactly as they appear in the ObjectServer
C) edit the activeEvent table in the ncmonitor database to include the custom column name and type and restart the appropriate processes to allow these to be picked up
D) edit the EventGatewaySchema.cfg to ensure that the Adaptive Polling plug-in is configured with the correct ObjectServer column name

3. Which file must be modified to extend NCIM to include new datathat has been included in the model for Extralnfo > City?

A) $NCHOME/etc/precision/DbEntityDetails.cfg
B) $NCHOME/etc/precision/DbSchema.cfg
C) $ITNMHOME/etc/precision/DbSchema.cfg
D) $NCHOME/etc/precision/ModelSchema.cfg

4. The IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 administrator is asked to create a network path view at a user's request. The user asks that both directionsfor network traffic are visualized. What does the administrator need to do?

A) Check Define All Paths in theNetwork Path Tool configuration screen.
B) Nothing. Network traffic has to flow the same way in both directions.
C) Check the Get Return Path field in the Network Path Tool configuration screen.
D) Nothing. This is performed automatically by the network path tool.

5. By default, when IBM Tivoli Integrated Portal is configured to authenticateagainst LDAP, which authentication method is used for ncp_oql for IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 core processes?

A) LDAP
B) ObjectServer Authentication
C) No Authentication
D) NCIM Authentication
