OVNM 5.3 - Operations Agent for NonStop Installation Guide

OVNM Installation Overview 13
OVNM Installation Overview 13
1-1-2 HP Operations Manager Environment
OVNM installation on the Operations management server primarily involves the installation of the OVNM SPI
Agent, which feeds the NonStop events into the HP Operations Message Browser. The extended events allow the
escalation of events into the Service View automatically. It provides predefined out-of-the-box policies to correlate
auto acknowledgment of events message instructions, operator initiated commands and tools.
For details on how to install OVNM components on the Windows environment, refer to OVNM Installation on
Windows.
1-1-3 SNMP Adapter
The supplied SNMP Adapter facilitates policy-based management for HP NonStop servers for Enterprise
Management systems that recognize SNMP Traps. This adapter takes OVNM-generated events from the HP
NonStop server and maps these SNMP events into SNMP-compatible management consoles, such as HP
Operations Network Node Manager, BMC’s PATROL, and IBM’s NetCool.
Installation of the SNMP Adapter is not covered in this manual. For installation refer to the OVNM SNMP
Adapter Guide.
1-1-4 HP NonStop Environment
OVNM installation on the HP NonStop Managed node involves the installation of OVNM NonStop server
components. These components are responsible for the discovery and monitoring of the entire system. The server
components are also responsible for collecting the filtered events from various collectors and forwarding them to
the HP Operations Management Server.
The installation on the HP NonStop can be performed through Windows based OVNM Host Installation Client.
For details on how to install OVNM agents on the HP NonStop environment, refer to the section Installing OVNM
on HP NonStop Server.
1-1-5 UNIX/LINUX Environment
OVNM installation on the HPOM UNIX/LINX management server primarily involves the installation of the OVNM
SPI Agent, which feeds the NonStop events into the HPOM Message Browser. The extended events allow the
escalation of events into the Service View automatically. It provides predefined out-of-the-box templates to
correlate auto acknowledgment of events, message instructions, operator initiated commands and tools.
For details on how to install OVNM Agents on the HPOM UNIX Management server and Linux Server, refer to
section Installing OVNM on HPOM UNIX, and section Installing OVNM on LINUX Server respectively
