OpenView and OEM State Models
In addition, all standard OpenView features are available for messages posted against
NonStop objects. You can acknowledge a message, assign an owner, add notes, and
so on.
OpenView and OEM State Models
The ASAP Open Enterprise Management Gateway (OEM) allows any one of nine
different states to be assigned to an object that is added to its configuration. However,
OpenView utilizes a five state model. In addition to its other duties, the ASAP
OpenView Adapter also maps OEM states to OpenView states when it logs a message
against a particular object. This mapping is ordered from least to most severe:
OEM and OpenView each utilize distinct state models, so OEM states cannot simply
be passed through to OpenView. The Adapter addresses this issue by automatically
mapping a given OEM numeric state to the OpenView state of closest corresponding
severity whenever it posts a message against an object.
OEM Numeric State OEM State Description OpenView State
1 Exists, no state information known Normal
2 Up or OK Normal
3 Low Usage Warning
4 Medium Usage Warning
5 High Usage Warning
6 Warning Minor
