Known Problems and Workarounds

The following are known problems with the HA Monitors product, or

with Event Monitoring Service:

opcmsg protocol

• What is the problem? The opcmsg protocol for communicating with

IT/Operations is supported for managed nodes running HP-UX 10.20

only. The agent that sends opcmsg messages between IT/Operations

and managed nodes is not yet available on HP-UX 11.00.

• What is the workaround? If you want to use opcmsg notiﬁcation, you

must do it on a node running HP-UX 10.20.
