Selecting the Forwarding Communication Type
Configuring OVO
Configuring Flexible Management Templates
The communication type that OVO actually uses to forward events to
other management servers depends on how these servers are set up in
the node bank of the source management server. If a management server
is configured as a DCE node, DCE will be used to forward events.
Likewise, if a management server is set up as an HTTPS node, HTTPS
will be used.
If you do not want to use the HTTPS protocol to communicate with a
particular HTTPS-based management server, you can override the
HTTPS communication type by setting the parameter
OPC_USE_DCE_FORWM. This parameter contains a list of comma-separated
hostnames for which the DCE protocol will be used for event forwarding,
regardless of the configuration of the node in the node bank.
For example to communicate with the management servers
jacko.deu.hp.com and benny.deu.hp.com using the DCE protocol, enter
the following command on the forwarding management server:
ovconfchg -ovrg server -ns opc -set OPC_USE_DCE_FORW \
jacko.deu.hp.com,benny.deu.hp.com
If HTTPS-based forwarding is disabled, DCE will be used to
communicate with all configured OVO management servers, regardless
of the setting in the node bank.
