1-3 Prerequisites for OVNM Installation
Before installing OVNM, ensure that the following tasks have been accomplished.
Microsoft Windows (32/64 bit) XP/Vista/Windows7 or Server2003 /2008, is used for installing and
configuring OVNM's NonStop Server components.
NOTE: You will need administrative rights to install the OVNM FE on Windows
.
a. If the NonStop Server(s) are going to be managed by HPOM (Windows), OVNM should be initially
installed on the HPOM Management Server.
b. If used, the HPOM Windows Management Server must be able to resolve the HP NonStop node(s) on
which OVNM is to be installed using names. If the network has a DNS server, then the node(s) should
have an entry in its records. If there is no DNS for name resolution in the network then the Hosts file on
the HP Operations Manager Server should have an entry for the HP NonStop nodes.
c. If the NonStop Server(s) are going to be managed by an HPOM (UNIX/LINUX), OVNM must initially
be installed using a Windows Workstation or Server.
d. Refer to the OVNM SNMP Adapter Guide for installations of the SNMP Adapter for Enterprise
Managers that rely on SNMP traps to receive NonStop Server Events.
e. For IBM Tivoli, the OVNM Tivoli Adapter needs to be purchased and installed on the Tivoli
Management Server.
NOTE:
The OVNM Tivoli Adapter is an optional product with Marketing ID # HOV08V1/QOV08V1
1. FTP and Telnet services between the Windows Server (or Workstation) and the HP NonStop node must be
available. Any firewall restrictions will need to be addressed to allow the communication paths.
2. Two additional ports must be available outside the firewall for accessing HP NonStop managed host.
Default ports used by OVNM are 5020 and 5030.
3. Guardian Super Group user ID is recommended to perform the installation. For security reasons, it is
recommended not to use the SUPER.SUPER ID, but rather a Super Group User ID specifically for OVNM.
For example: SUPER.OVNM. To get the most out of OVNM’s Multi Node support feature, User IDs used to
install OVNM should be the same across all Nodes. This includes both user name (For example:
SUPER.OVNM) and the User ID number (Ex 255.005).
4. Product key: If OVNM was not supplied with a Product Key a temporary Key for 60 days will be
generated. You will need to purchase the OVNM product after the evaluation period. Contact your local
HP representative for details.
5. For OVNM to monitor Pathway applications, the PATHWAY Parameter MAXSPI should be greater or equal
to 3. This enables OVNM to use the SPI interface to obtain Pathway information.
