Hi,

Your situation may have different resolutions based on what you exactly mean by 'I don't need that device under NPM'. Are you saying you don't need to poll that device for status?

Hi Jiri,

I have a set of network devices for which i only needed configuration back up to be taken. I dont need Performance or Availability polling for them

As long as NCM is part of the NPM- a node has to exist on NPM for NCM to use. Unless you plan on installing NCM as a standalone on another server, I don't think there is a way to separate this.

However, you can add a node to NPM as external node which doesn't have any polling and still add it to NCM.

That's true, but an external node has limitations in NCM -- there's no SNMP communication, and therefore no inventory data and SNMP-triggered config download.

Another option would be to manually "unmanage" the node in NPM.
