Configuring Flexible Management Templates
This section describes the conventions you use to set up flexible
management with the example templates provided by OVO. For more
information about the tasks involved in setting up flexible management
in OVO, see the OVO Administrator’s Guide to Online Information.
Locations of Flexible Management Templates
OVO provides a set of ASCII templates you use to define the OVO to
configure and implement flexible management in a widely-distributed
environment.
The ASCII templates are located in the following directory:
/etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/tmpl_respmgrs
Types of Flexible Management Templates
Table 2-13 provides a brief description of each template.
