You can add background images to your 2D Map by choosing a background image or geomap from the Toolbox tree list. Click and drag the image by holding down the left mouse button and dropping it onto the 2D Map. The background map appears underneath the objects in the 2D Map. The Unicenter MCC supports any BMP graphic you want to use as a background. Use the context menu to remove the background image.
Note: The object you select in the Unicenter MCC left pane determines the contents of the Toolbox images; that is, the images available to add as background. The Toolbox is always populated with the classes and images from the current provider of the object you select. For example, if you select a host name in the left panel and then navigate, or drill down, to the agent level, the Toolbox provides images and geomaps you can set as backgrounds. However, if you select an agent from an expanded tree view in the left pane, no class or images are available in the Toolbox because the DSM provider does not expose any images for use.
You can create additional custom maps to use as background geomaps with Vector Globe, a product licensed by CA from Cartografx Corporation. You can create maps for anywhere in the world with a configurable level of detail, place these maps as backgrounds for your topology, and arrange devices by geographical latitude and longitude. Vector Globe is provided as a separate CD for you to install after CA NSM is installed.
In addition to the existing object arrangements, you can also have your own object arrangements in 2D Map.
