Maintaining HPOM Directories and Files
To maintain HPOM directories and files, follow these guidelines:
❏
❏
❏
Do Not Clean Up the Management Server Directory
Important runtime data is contained in the mgmt_sv directory:
/var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC/mgmt_sv
Do not clean up this directory unless you are unable to use another
solution or there are too many unprocessed and old messages.
Back Up and Erase the Software Installation File
If you no longer need the logfiles, you should backup and then erase
the continuously growing HPOM software installation, update, and
de-installation logfile:
/var/opt/OV/log/OpC/mgmt_sv/install.log.
The inst_err.log and inst_sum.log logfiles do not continuously
grow because they are generated for each HPOM software
(de-)installation and update.
Back up and Erase the Error Logfile
You should backup and then erase the HPOM error and warning
logfile and its backups:
• For HTTPS-based managed nodes:
/var/opt/OV/log/System.txt
HPOM uses an automatic backup logfile mechanism having up to
four files.
If the System.txt logfile size is greater than 1 MB, HPOM
automatically does the following:
• Moves System.txt.002 to System.txt.003 (if exists).
• Moves System.txt.001 to System.txt.002 (if exists).
• Moves System.txt to System.txt.001
