5 HP Operations Manager Tools
5-1 Introduction
Tools are applications, scripts, and commands to help you perform necessary tasks in your environment, such as
launching corrective actions or diagnostic tools. Available tools are contained in tool groups in the Tools folder in
the HP Operations Manager console tree. To view tools, select a tools folder to display the tools it contains in the
details pane.
You can apply tools to selected managed services or nodes, and in some cases, view the results of the tool
application to see if it failed or succeeded using the Tool Status dialog box. If the tool was configured to run on
your console, status is not displayed. For tools running in locations other than the console, you can see the output
of a tool application if Command Generates Output was specified when your administrator configured the tool.
5-2 Default OVNM Tools
The tools provided with OVNM are grouped into the following two categories:
• NonStop Operator Tools
• Start/Stop Tools
These tools can be executed using the HP Operations Manager interface.

NOTE: The NonStop operator tools are provided as guidelines for operator tasks. These non-destructive
command templates can be used to design and develop user-defined tools on your HP Operations
Management environment. The NonStop Operator tools use the NSCMD command processor to provide the
command & control capability for HP NonStop Servers. You can configure messages and actions that would
be triggered for each of these tools.
Refer to the section Configuring Actions for NonStop Operator Tools for details.
