Accessing Jovw
Jovw is the Java-based web interface to the Network Node Manager
(NNM). Jovw is integrated into the OVO Application Bank. By default,
Jovw is assigned to the itop and netop operators. This section describes
how to access the default IP map with Jovw, and how to modify the
integration so that other IP maps can be accessed.
To Access the Default IP Map with Jovw
To access the default IP Map with Jovw, follow these steps:
1. Start ovw on the OVO management server.
As user root, enter:
ovw
When accessing Jovw, ovw must be running.
2. As OVO administrator, assign the application group Jovw to other
operators, as needed.
3. Start the Java-based GUI and log in.
If you are already logged in, select View: Reload Configuration
from the menu bar. This option retrieves the new configuration from
the OVO management server.
4. Select Edit: Preferences from the menu bar.
5. Enter the path to your local web browser.
6. Highlight a node in the IP Map
Right-click the node in the object pane, and select the Start: Jovw:
Highlight in Ip-Map menu item from the popup menu.
IMPORTANT Jovw replicates the ovw default map. For this reason, ovw must be
running when accessing Jovw.
