1-1 About OVNM
HP Operations Agent for NonStop software (formerly called OpenView NonStop Server Management, and still
known as OVNM) is designed as an out-of-the-box solution to provide seamless integration for managing an HP
NonStop server-only environment or to bring NonStop server data into larger multi-platform management systems.
As its name implies, OVNM is designed to work with HP Operations software running on either the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
or the UNIX
®
operating system. OVNM brings NonStop server data into enterprise-wide management
views, such as those driven by HP Operations, IBM Tivoli, BMC Patrol, and others, and it also provides a
complete NonStop server-only management solution.
OVNM is a natural extension of HP Operations Manager (HPOM) and is fully integrated with the environment.
This tight integration gives organizations a cost-efficient, easily configurable, and time-saving way to rapidly and
successfully incorporate HP NonStop business applications and management solutions into their service delivery
infrastructure.
OVNM helps administrators efficiently monitor distributed enterprise-wide NonStop environments from a central,
best-in-class console. The agent helps you increase availability and performance, visualize capacity shortages
and trends and lower the overall cost of maintaining your NonStop environment.
