Installing and Updating the OVO Configuration on the Managed Nodes
Selective Distribution of User-selected Files to Managed Nodes
Enabling Selective Distribution Using the Supplied
SPI Configuration File
To enable Selective Distribution using the supplied SPI configuration
file, perform the following procedure:
1. Create node groups for the nodes to which you want to distribute
your actions, commands and monitors. Most SPIs already come with
default node groups for their specific configurations but you may use
a different node group and change the seldist file accordingly.
NOTE The Node Group Name that has to be used in the seldist file. The
Node Group Label can be freely used, for example, localized.
2. Add all nodes that should have the SPI files distributed to the node
group.
3. Change directory to the location of the configuration template:
cd /etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv
4. Make a copy of the seldist.tmpl file where you are to make your
changes:
cp seldist.tmpl seldist
5. In the seldist file, locate the configuration section for the SPI that
you want to configure and make the desired changes.
NOTE To avoid confusion, check the configuration sections for all SPIs that
you do not have installed. Make sure that you do not have a node
group with the same name as one listed in the seldist file but has
nothing to do with the seldist feature. If necessary, disable the
configuration section for SPIs you do not have installed by preceding
with a # comment sign.
6. Save the configuration file and check the syntax:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/utils/opcseldist -check seldist
Correct any possible syntax errors in the file.
