What’s new in OMU

CVP Update

Web-Based Administration for HPOM for UNIX version 8.x• HP no longer sells the Configuration Value Pack product. Current CVP

customers under support should contact blue elephant systems (BES) directly for their entitlement to the MIDAS Configurator product. The URL for this migration is http://www.besint.com/content/view/149/182/

• For customers interested in acquiring a web-based administrative tool for Operations Manager, there are a number of solutions provided by several HP Partners. Please refer to the HP Partner portal at:

43 7 November 2008

HP Partners. Please refer to the HP Partner portal at:

• http://h20229.www2.hp.com/partner/directory/partners.html?c=22-2-4

• We strongly encourage existing CVP customers to migrate to the MIDAS Configurator. The two products are functionally identical (CVP was an OEM of the BES MIDAS Configurator). Migrating now will allow you to receive updates and support directly from BES.

Server Enhancements in 8.31

Automatic Message Key Creation

To avoid the duplicate suppression of the messages that do not have a message key and improve performance, an automatic message key creation is introduced. A Message Manager configuration setting OPC_CREATE_AUTO_KEYS automatically creates a message key for messages that do not have it. This behavior is enabled by default and it

49 7 November 2008

messages that do not have it. This behavior is enabled by default and it also requires that Suppress and Count Duplicate Messages server option is enabled. If a message has no message key, it is created in the following format:

AUTOKEY:HASH

where HASH is calculated as an SHA-1 hash of the following message attributes: node name, message group, application, object, service name, severity and message text Note that message key is not automatically generated if a message has zero length message key defined.

Server Enhancements in 8.31Improved Heartbit Polling

Several changes are introduced in the HPOM heartbeat polling area to avoid false alerts:

• For server initiated HBP to HTTPS agents:

In case a new OPC_HBP_DOUBLE_CHECK config setting is set to TRUE, the current ovoareqsdr worker

thread immediately re-checks the agent, if the error is not node down or network

50 7 November 2008

thread immediately re-checks the agent, if the error is not node down or network down.

• For agent sends alive package:

If ovoareqsdr gets an agent alive package that indicates that ovcd is down, and the new behavior is enabled by setting the OPC_RECHECK_AGENT_ALIVE_OVCD_DOWN config setting to TRUE, ovoareqsdr handles this as if it did not get any alive package. That means it will initiate active heartbeat polling when the polling interval is reached.

If it was a temporary situation, the active HBP shows that there are no problems and no HBP error is sent. If an error is still present at that time you will get a specific HBP error.

• Sorts services by Label attribute in message browser

• Ability to disable history browser based on operator

• Java GUI client version control

60 7 November 2008

Sorts services by Label attribute

61 7 November 2008

Sorts services by Label attribute

Needs to be enabled,because it has a minor performance impact.

62 7 November 2008

performance impact.

Ability to disable history browser basedon operator

Motivation:

• Opening a history browser consumes quite some CPU on the mgmt server. With this feature you can disable the history message browser for specific user.

• OPC_JGUI_HISTBRW_DISABLED variable was introduced.

63 7 November 2008

• Example: ovconfchg -ovrg server -ns opc -set /OPC_JGUI_HISTBRW_DISABLED opc_op1,opc_op2

Logging capability for cgi script ito_op_applet_cgi.ovpl

• Motivation−CGI script has no logging mechanism.

− It is difficult to find out what is wrong in case an error happens.

• Solution

64 7 November 2008

• Solution−A logging mechanism was added.

−Logging is enabled when the file /var/opt/OV/log/ito_op_applet_cgi.log exists.

− Logging information is then written to this file.

Java GUI client version control

• Determine version of connected JGUIs on management server− listgui extended to show version of JGUIs

connected to opcuiwww

65 7 November 2008

Java GUI – Message View Filtering Different GUI based types of filters

69 7 November 2008

Demo

Java GUI – Message View Filtering Different GUI based types of filters

• All filters must conform to the described syntax.

• Quick− Quick access via popup menu.

− Only criteria operator ‘equal’– simple OR/AND rules only

• Simple

70 7 November 2008

• Simple− All criteria operators – simple OR/AND plus NOT rules only

• Advanced− All criteria operators – all possible rule and criteria configurations

• The definition of the filters above can also be written in plain text format opposed to GUI-based.

Java GUI – Message View FilteringQuick Message View Filters

• Show messages matching the selected values of one or more columns.

• Selecting more than one value for a single column, messages must match only one of these values (OR relation).

• Selecting more than one column, messages must match all criteria (AND relation).

• Restriction: ‘equals’ is the only operator available.

71 7 November 2008

• Restriction: ‘equals’ is the only operator available.

• Access:

− Select column header

− Right click for context menu

− Select filter values

• Rules− One difference compared to the quick message view filter: Rule

operator NOT is possible as well.

• Criteria Operators− All operators available for criteria are selectable.

Java GUI – New startup options Integration Scenario

• A benefit of the new feature is e.g. its usage in environments with integrated products.

• Example: OVOU – BAC (Business Availability Center)

• One typical customer request:

• ‘As part of the OVOU - BAC integration we want to be able

78 7 November 2008

• ‘As part of the OVOU - BAC integration we want to be able to launch the OVOU message browser in context of a BAC KPI (key performance indicator) calculated based on OVOU messages.’ This is mainly a nodename or service ID!

OVO Agent Install Automationusing NEW OVO/UNIX 8 feature (autogrant)

• The OVO Unix 8 functionality was enhanced to1. Improved support of HTTPS agents behind NAT sending

certificate-requests. The problem is that the node is often not part of DNS.

2. Allow automatic processing of certificate-requests for HTTPS agents, called autogrant.

867 November 2008

3. Allow automatic adding of systems to the OVO nodebank after granting a certificate-request.

4. Allow programmatically adding Node to nodegroup + immediate deployment of policies which might be assigned tothe nodegroup.

OVO Agent Install Automationusing NEW OVO/UNIX 8 feature (autogrant)

• Prerequisite only on OVO/U server needed:1.Install OVO/U 8.31 server patch

for PA-Risc (8.29 for IA64 HPUX 11.23 and Solaris)

2.Install OVO 8.17 Agent patch (8.17.2 for IA64 HPUX 11.23 and Solaris) and deploy to mgmt server.

• /tmp/pre_act.sh− To auto grant the request the node must be resolveable on the OVO/U server. This script does

get all the info passed to do the task E.G. add an entry in to /etc/hostsArgs passed to the script:Nodename=moses.deu.hp.com IPAddress=16.57.35.134 PeerAddress=16.57.35.134 RequestID=a34985e8-01dd-7524-0c93-cc52e1e9d8f8 Platform=HP-UX 11.0, CPU: PARisc MachineType=MACH_BBC_HPUX_PARISC CN=ac1fe636-e9dc-7504-0cd6-ce34067e2b55

• /tmp/post_act.sh (Siemens example)− Determine clinical device type based on the hostname by querying the SIEMENS asset

897 November 2008

− Determine clinical device type based on the hostname by querying the SIEMENS asset inventory.

− Assign this OVO managed node to appropriate OVO node group by calling

/opt/OV/bin/OpC/utils/opcnode -assign_node group_name=Auto_Grant_Nodes node_name=<nodename> net_type=NETWORK_IP

FYI, the OVO node groups have already assigned the clinical device specific policies

− Deploy the OVO policies by calling # opcragt –distrib <Nodename>

The above rules and actions are executed as part of the OVO HTTPS agent certificate request processing.

OVO agent scalability improvements: log file monitoring and automatic and automatic actions

Multiple parallel opcle feature

• Prerequisite: OVO HTTPS Agent 8.13 or later

• Purpose of the feature:− The feature of “multiple parallel opcle” was implemented to

improve the performance of the OVO log file encapsulation module. So far the OVO opcle process doesn't use the capabilities of multi-processor machines. Instead it's a single-

947 November 2008

capabilities of multi-processor machines. Instead it's a single-threaded program regarding it's main task, which is processing of log files. To benefit from multiple CPUs, you can start multiple opcle programs in parallel now.

− This does NOT cover the use case where you want multiple CPUs processing a single log file.

Multiple parallel opcle feature

• Basic concept: − There's one opcle that works as usual. There can be further

opcle instances, which handle only log files which names begin with a specific prefix. Let's call them special opcle. If you run multiple standard opcle in parallel, then they all process the same log files and you would get duplicate messages. Also, the standard opcle must not process such log files from the special

957 November 2008

standard opcle must not process such log files from the special opcle - again to avoid duplicate messages.

Multiple parallel opcle feature• How to configure:

You need to register the special opcle's at OV control. Some example control files are located at ./ctrl/le*.xml. The special opcle's have to be called with the command line option "-pol_prefix <comma-separated_list_of_policy_prefixes>".

• E.G. copy /var/opt/OV/conf/ctrl/opcle.xml to opcle1.xml and change the lines below<ovc:Component>

<ovc:Name>opcle1</ovc:Name>

<ovc:Label>

Multiple parallel opcacta feature

• Basic concept:

Customize startup of the existing opcacta and establish multiple additional opcacta instances. All opcacta’s process action requests from the actagtq, allowing more actions to be executed

987 November 2008

actagtq, allowing more actions to be executed in parallel.

Note: eaagt:MAX_NBR_PARALLEL_ACTIONS applies to each opcacta.

Multiple parallel opcacta feature (1/3)• How to configure:

You need to register the special opcacta's at OV control. Some example control files are located at ./ctrl/le*.xml.

Every opcacta must be called with the command line option "-<parm>“ , so modify the existing opcacta.xml first.

• Edit /var/opt/OV/conf/ctrl/opcacta.xml and change/add the lines below<ovc:Component>

<ovc:Name>opcacta1</ovc:Name>

Multiple parallel opcacta feature (2/3)• How to configure:

Now create additional opcacta’s.

• E.G. copy /var/opt/OV/conf/ctrl/opcacta.xml to opcacta2.xml and change the lines below
