• OpenFlow Monitoring—Manage alerts associated with OpenFlow. You can also test the service
flows and analyze the failures that occur during the tests. For more information, see " 5 Managing
OpenFlow alerts and troubleshooting service flows ."
• Network Virtualization—Manage virtual OpenFlow devices and tenants that rent virtual OpenFlow
devices. Each OpenFlow instance can be considered as a virtual OpenFlow device. A tenant rents
different OpenFlow instances to forward traffic. For more information, see " 6 Network
virtualization ."
• App management—Manage and monitor apps deployed on controllers, and to manage apps and
licenses added to SDNM. For more information, see " 7 Managing apps ."
• OpenFlow Topology—Displays the physical and logical architecture of the OpenFlow network in
topology. You can also manage the OpenFlow network based on topology. For more information,
see " 8 Managing topologies ."
• SDN Report—Collect statistics on running data about the OpenFlow network. It depends on the
reporting function in the IMC platform. SDNM provide multiple report templates that you can use to
generate real-time reports and schedule reports. For more information, see " 9 Managing reports ."
• SDN Widget—Displays the real-time data about the OpenFlow network. It depends on the
homepage widgets function in the IMC platform. SDNM provides multiple widgets that you can
customize in the SDNM homepage. For more information, see "
10 SDNM widgets ."
SDNM networking
As shown in Figure 6 , make sure IMC communicates with the controllers and OpenFlow switches
correctly.
SDNM is deployed and managed based on the IMC platform. IMC supports various deployment
methods, and you can choose one according to your network size. For more information about
deploying IMC and its service components, see HP IMC deployment guides.
