12 1-1-1 Microsoft Windows Environment OVNM installation on the Windows environment primarily installs the following components on the workstation. OVNM Console: Console is a Windows GUI interface program that provides a single interface for managing all aspects of the OVNM environment running on NonStop Servers. Console is intended for NonStop Server Application and System Specialists. By providing basic Console management features found in HP Operations Manager, the NonStop specialist / Operations staff can usethe OVNM product without having any Enterprise Manager software installed (i.e. HP Operations Manager, Network Node Manager.IBM Netcool etc. OVNM Host Installation Client: The OVNM Host Installation Client is an interactive GUI, which is used to automate the procedures like installation and modifications on the HP NonStop managed node. OVNM Host Management Client: The OVNM Host Management Client is an interactive GUI, which is used to automate the HP NonStop host management procedures like starting and stopping OVNM agents on the HP NonStop Server. OVNM Object Configuration Client (OCC); The OCC is an interactive and user-friendly interface, which is used to define the desired state of a NonStop object in operation. It allows you to create, modify and delete threshold configurations and perform active monitoring and management of events. OVNM ObjectMAP ObjectMap is a user-friendly interface, which is used to display the current state of all or a subset of the objects being monitored by OVNM. It allows users to create their own views as well as request additional information about the object. OVNM ObjectStats: ObjectStats is a user-friendly interface, which is used to display statistics regarding the number of objects in each of the violation states (normal, critical, major, minor, warning and unmanaged). It also allows users to request additional information about objects, but only objects that are in violation status. For details on how to install OVNM components on the Windows environment, refer to OVNM Installation on Windows 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 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 theovnm SNMP Adapter Guide 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. OVNM Installation Overview 12

13 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 1-2 System Requirements HP NonStop Node Operating System Software Requirements Disk Space NonStop Server version, G06.26, H06.05, J06.04, L15.02 or higher NonStop TCP/IP 100 MB (For Installation) 10 MB (Suggested for Databases Files) HPOM Management Server Any system where HP Operations is installed.

14 1-3 Prerequisites for OVNM Installation Before installing OVNM, ensure that the following tasks have been accomplished. 1. 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. 2. If the NonStop Server(s) are going to be managed by HPOM (Windows), OVNM should be initially installed on the HPOM Management Server. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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 7. 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. 8. Two additional ports must be available outside the firewall for accessing HP NonStop managed host. Default ports used by OVNM are 5020 and 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 ). 10. 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. 11. 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.

ListObjects in 1 CPU, others across all CPUs: To place the objects to be monitored via the ListObject command into a single CPU, but balance the other objects across the available CPUs. OVNM also provides the option of using the ListObjects command for monitoring instead of the Status command. Use the various check boxes in the Use LISTOBJECTS for BASE24 area to select the BASE24 objects to be monitored via the ListObjects command. In some cases, using ListObjects command is more efficient. It is HIGHLY recommended that you select the use only 1 CPU option. This reduces the concurrent messages that OVNM would send to XPNET if you allow it to spread the objects across CPUs. It is HIGHLY recommended that you do NOT select any of the Listobjects options. The default method that OVNM uses to communicate with BASE24 has been shown to be more efficient than using ListObjects commands. Installing OVNM on HP NonStop Server 40

Select the Fault Tolerance Enabled option for guaranteed delivery of NonStop Server events for the following Enterprise management Server Configurations. Single Enterprise Management Server (Configured as Primary): In the event of a connection failure between an OVNM Agent on the HP NonStop managed server and the Enterprise Management Server, any NonStop events occurring during the connection failure will be resent to the Enterprise Management Server after communication is restored. Events are resent using OVNM s message queuing facility. For details, refer to Chapter 12: Event Delivery Management of the OVNM Users Guide. Dual Enterprise Management Servers (One Primary and other Backup): In this configuration, OVNM sends HP NonStop events to the Primary Enterprise Management Server. In the event of a connection failure between OVNM on the NonStop Server and the Primary Enterprise Management Server, OVNM will redirect events to the Backup Enterprise Management Server. If connection failure occurs with both the Enterprise Management Servers, any NonStop events occurring during the connection failure will be resent to the Enterprise Management Server after communication is restored. By default, the Fault Tolerance feature is disabled, that means that OVNM is configured to broadcast NonStop events to all available Enterprise Management Servers and will not provide event message queuing. Select the Fault Tolerance Enabled check box to enable the feature. Installing OVNM on HP NonStop Server Installing OVNM on HP NonStop Server 41

46 4 Upgrading OVNM on HP NonStop Server 4-1 Considerations while Upgrading OVNM It is not mandatory to initially upgrade all NonStop Servers to the latest release. Operation Manager Servers can manage NonStop Servers running either OVNM 4.x or OVNM 5.x Agents. There are however new features and functions that are only supported on NonStop Servers running OVNM 5.x Agents. Object Configuration Client OVNM 5.x release introduced the following new features that are not supported on NonStop Servers running OVNM 4.x or earlier versions. Automated Action: In addition to the ability to specify user-written TACL routines to execute, OVNM 5.x provides the ability to use pre-canned recoveries for many of the thresholds. Most of these recoveries will use a SPI interface instead of TACL code to perform the recovery. EMS Burst Suppression: The new EMS burst suppression (part of OCC) cannot be used with an old backend as the code only exists in version 5.x. Add Object to an Existing Threshold: Use of this feature should be limited to 5.x environments only since the structure of the message has changed significantly to support wildcards and manager name data. OCC will not send the request of wildcard objects to the old backend. DNS support: Versions of OVNM prior to 5.x will not support DNS names, so you will still need to use actual IP addresses in the Host Installation Client for those environments. Multiple Backend Environments on a Single HP NonStop: Multiple OVNM Nonstop Host Agent environments on a single HP NonStop New Object Threshold When adding new thresholds, OVNM will not allow you to enter the thresholds that are not supported by the version of the backend that is currently installed on that particular HP NonStop. If you want to see what the new thresholds are, review the softdocs and/or Release Notes. Limitations while working with thresholds that were added in the previous release and are no longer supported by 5.x The thresholds created with OVNM 4.x that have been deleted in 5.x will show the Threshold Name as Unknown in the Threshold pane of the OVNM Object Configuration Client. Figure 4-1 OVNM Object Configuration Client Upgrading OVNM on HP NonStop Server Modification of thresholds and objects will not be possible, but these can be deleted.
