You need to load the Adobe SVG plugin to be able to view maps in IE, even
with IE9. This is explained on the  maps
<http://www.opennms.org/wiki/UCE2011/Maps#supported_browser>   documentation
page. IE9's SVG+Javascript support is not compatible with the approaches
used by the map functionality (which is nevertheless supported by every
other SVG compliant browser - Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc.). The Adobe SVG
plugin is fine if you are running a 32-bit Windows client. However Adobe no
longer supports their SVG extension; the 64-bit version is only unsupported
beta (since 2009?) and has a number of bugs which can cause OpenNMS maps to
fail to display.

If you're running 32-bit Windows, install Adobe SVG plugin.

I think there used to be an open enhancement request for native IE9 SVG
support, but it was lower priority. Vote for it if it's important to you.
