HP Operations Manager for UNIX Administrator’s Reference

Configuring HPOM
Configuring Flexible Management Templates
BUFFER_PATH
Determines the location of the directory in which the
forward manager stores buffer files. Change this
location only if you experience loss of messages and
need to place the buffer files on a file system with more
disk space.
REQUEST_TIMEOUT
Time limit after which undeliverable messages and
message operations are discarded. Increase this value
if you expect frequent communication failures that last
longer than one hour.
Changing Parameter Values
The parameters listed in Table 2-15 on page 119 are located in the
opc.opcforwm namespace. To change their values, use the ovconfchg
command line tool.
For example, if you want to limit the size of the buffer file on the disk to
200000 bytes, use the following command:
ovconfchg -ovrg server -ns opc.opcforwm -set \
MAX_FILE_BUFFER_SIZE 200000
After changing the value of the parameters, restart the HPOM server.
To check the current values of the HTTPS-based forwarding parameters,
use the following command:
ovconfget -ovrg server opc.opcforwm
Note that only the non-default values are displayed.
Troubleshooting
If, for some reason, removal of all buffered messages is required, perform
the following steps:
1. Stop the HP Operations management server processes:
opcsv -stop or ovstop opc
2. Remove the directory in which the forward manager stores buffer
files:
rm -rf /var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC/mgmt_sv/snf
