About the Template for Message Forwarding
HPOM enables you to generate notification messages to be sent to
remote management servers. And it enables you to assign control of the
messages to the source management server with one template. You can
check the template using the tool opcmomchk.
Location of the Message Forwarding Template
HPOM stores the message forwarding template in:
/etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/respmgrs/msgforw
NOTE
For all MoM considerations, such as hosting several certificate servers,
certificate handling for a second HP Operations management server, and
so on, refer to the HPOM HTTPS Agent Concepts and Configuration
Guide.
Configuring the Message Forwarding Template
The configuration and syntax of the template is similar to that of the
message-escalation template, with the following exceptions:
❏
❏
❏
❏
Targets
You can assign a message to multiple target servers.
Control
You can assign the attribute MSGCONTROLLINGMGR to target
management servers to which you forward a message. This attribute
enables the target servers to switch control of a message.
Notification
You can assign the attribute NOTIFYMGR to target management
servers to which you forward a message. This attribute enables the
target server to send notifications to themselves.
Acknowledgement
You can assign the attribute ACKNONLOCALMGR to messages. This
attribute forces the source management server to acknowledge
message notifications explicitly.
