HP Operations Manager for UNIX Administrator’s Reference

Configuring HPOM
Configuring Flexible Management Templates
Setting the Time Zone Parameter
You can force the HP Operations management server to use the message
creation time on the local managed node, rather than the message
arrival time on the management server.
To specify the time zone parameter for service hours or scheduled
outages, set one of the following strings using the ovconfchg
command-line tool:
❏
Service Hours
OPC_SERVHRS_USE_AGENT_TZ TRUE
❏ Scheduled Outages
OPC_OUTAGE_USE_CREATE_TIME TRUE
These strings force the HPOM management server to apply the time
frame for service hours and scheduled outages defined on the HP
Operations management server (for example, 08:00 -- 16:00) as a sliding
time frame for managed nodes in their respective local time zone.
NOTE
Make sure the local time is correctly set on the managed node.
About the Command-Line Interface
The message manager does not automatically read the configuration
template for outages and service hours each time the template file is
modified (for example, by the system administrator or an external
application).
You can use the command-line tool opccfgout(1M) to start the
reconfigure request:
opccfgout -update
Additional options allow you to set status variables for the conditions:
opccfgout -set_cond [-true|-false|-default]
To list the current status of the status variables, enter:
opccfgout -list_cond |-all
