Configuring OVO Distributed Event Interception
OVO Distributed Event Interception has two configurations:
❏ Basic Configuration
To set up the basic configuration, follow these steps:
1. Configure SNMP destinations or NNM collection stations.
Make sure that SNMP devices have only one SNMP destination,
or that there is only one system serving as the NNM collection
station for the management server (preferably, the collection
station connected through the fastest network).
Set the destination systems for SNMP devices on HP-UX and
Solaris nodes in the /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf file with
the following statement:
trap_dest:
2. If NNM is not running on the node where you want to intercept
events, perform the following:
On HTTPS-based managed nodes
Use the ovconfchg command-line tool as follows:
ovconfchg -ns eaagt -set \
SNMP_SESSION_MODE NO_TRAPD
On DCE-based managed nodes
Add the string SNMP_SESSION_MODE NO_TRAPD to the
opcinfo file.
For the location of the opcinfo file on all platforms, see
Table 11-1 on page 404.
3. Assign and distribute the trap template to the node.
❏ Configuration to Avoid Duplicate Messages
Make certain that an OVO agent (and thus, an OVO event
interceptor) runs on all NNM collection stations. Use the Print
Collection Station application in the NNM Tools application group to
verify which managed nodes are set up as NNM collection stations.
