OVNM 5.3 - Operations Agent for NonStop Installation Guide

Installing OVNM on HPOM UNIX 52
5-3 Configuring OVNM on HPOM UNIX
The following procedure is used to configure the HP NonStop Nodes the OVNM SPI will be communicating with.
It is assumed at this point that the NonStop Nodes being configured already has an OVNM Agent installed.
For a sample session, refer to Appendix D: Sample OVNM Configuration on HPOM UNIX.
1. Change the working directory to /opt/OV/ovnm/bin where the script and binary files have been copied
by default, after the installation.
# pwd
# cd /opt/OV/ovnm/bin
2. Execute the following script to initiate the configuration process.
# ./ovnm_configure.sh
NOTE:
Make sure your locale is set to C before running ovnm_configure.sh.
3. Enter the port number (above 5000) for NonStop Alerts reception. The default port is 5030.
5030
4. Enter the fully qualified name of the HP NonStop Node. For example, NODE.domain.com.
NODE.hp.com
5. Enter the IP Address for the specified HP NonStop node.
111.111.111.111
6. The system checks the name resolution for the specified node and the following message is displayed.
Checking the name resolution. This can take a few minutes. Please be
patient...
The steps for name resolution will be different for HP UX and SUN SOLARIS.
HP UX
a. Name Resolution Successful: In case the name resolution is successful, the script adds the node to the
HPOM configuration and continues with the process of configuration with the following message.
Successfully resolved the nodename. Continuing...
b. Name Resolution Failed: In case the name resolution fails, the script checks for the existence of the
name resolution method: DNS or Files.
• If the script finds DNS as the name resolution method, it instructs the user to add an entry in the
DNS for the HP NonStop node and restart the script.
Name resolution for NODE.hp.com failed.
Please define an entry for this node in your DNS records and rerun this
script.
• If the script finds Files(hosts) as the name resolution method, it automatically adds the HP NonStop
node to the hosts file and continues with the operation.
Name resolution for NODE.hp.com failed.
Adding the node entry in the hosts file..
• If the script is unable to find the name resolution method, it will prompt to choose a method of
resolution from DNS or Files. If the user chooses DNS the script instructs to add an entry in the DNS
for the node and restart the operation. If the user chooses Files the script adds the entry in the hosts
file and continues.
Name resolution for NODE.hp.com failed.
Not able to determine the method of name resolution used.
Please specify the name resolution scheme which you are using, from:
1) DNS
2) files
