Summary
Error
To install any Extension Pack (Traffic, QA, IPT, MPLS, Multicast) on the dedicated NPS server you have to use the installExtensionPack.ovpl utility and the following easy steps.
Cause
The installation binaries for each Extension Pack installed on the NNMi server are by default located under the directory:
Linux: /opt/OV/newconfig/qa/<EP_Name>ReportPackInstall/<EP_Name>.tar.gz
Windows: %NNMInstallDir%\newconfig\<EP_Name>ReportPackInstall\<EP_Name>.tar.gz
An example on how to deploy a Quality Assurance Extension pack to NPS:
Go to its binary directory:
Linux: /opt/OV/newconfig/qa/QAReportPackInstall/Quality_Assurance.tar.gz
Windows: %NNMInstallDir%\newconfig\QAReportPackInstall\Quality_Assurance.tar.gz
Copy the Quality_Assurance.tar.gz to the NPS server under:
Linux: /opt/OV/NNMPerformanceSPI/extensionpacks/
Windows: %NPSInstallDir%\NNMPerformanceSPI\extensionpacks\
And proceed with installing it using installExtensionPack.ovpl on the NPS server:
Linux: /opt/OV/NNMPerformanceSPI/bin/installExtensionPack.ovpl -e /opt/OV/NNMPerformanceSPI/extensionpacks/Quality_Assurance.tar.gz -m all -f install
Windows: %NPSInstallDir%\NNMPerformanceSPI\bin\installExtensionPack.ovpl -e %NPSInstallDir%\NNMPerformanceSPI\extensionpacks\Quality_Assurance.tar.gz -m all -f install
