Installing the Daemon
The Opalis Daemon runs on the HP
OpenView Operations server and provides a communication link to the
Integration Pack for HP OpenView Operations objects. For more
information about configuring the Opalis Daemon, see
Using the
Daemon.
Note: This installer will install all
the Opalis groups and the message interceptor. You must apply the
templates and update the SW & Config for the agents of the
OpenView Operations server.
When you install the Daemon, a
message group named Opalis is installed on the HP OpenView
Operations server. To administer messages sent to the Opalis
message group, you must make it appear on the HP OpenView
Operations Java Console. To make it appear on the HP OpenView
Operations Java Console, add the Opalis message group to any user
that interacts with the Opalis message group, such as the user that
runs the Integration Pack for HP OpenView Operations, or users that
will view the Opalis message group on the HP OpenView Operations
Java Console. For instructions, see the HP OpenView Operations
documentation.
Daemon Package Filenames
The Opalis Daemon must be customized
according to the type of Unix you are using and the version of HP
OpenView Operations server you plan to deploy on. Opalis Software,
Inc. has created customized installation files for each of these
combinations. The filenames of these installation files are made of
the following elements:
oprprocess-<operating
system>-<OpenView Operations version>-<Daemon package
version>.<file extension>
The file extension for HP-UX
operating systems is .tar.gz.
For example, if you were using HP
Unix 11i, HP OpenView Operations 8, and Daemon Package 2.00, your
Daemon filename would be the following:
oprprocess-hpux11i-ovo8-200.tar.gz
In the installation procedures
below, replace the <filename> or <filename.extension>
placeholder with the name of your Daemon package filename
accordingly.
