Installing and Updating the OVO Configuration on the Managed Nodes
Selective Distribution of User-selected Files to Managed Nodes
Disabling Selective Distribution
If you do not want Selective Distribution of actions|cmds|monitor, you
can disable Selective Distribution by performing the following steps:
1. Change directory to the location of the configuration file:
cd /etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv
2. Rename the seldist file, for example
mv seldist seldist.old
3. If the server processes are currently running, run:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/utils/opcseldist -reconfig
To Configure Custom Selective Distribution
The default seldist file currently contains all known SPIs with
proposed node group names for the distribution of SPI related files and
binaries. You can configure a Selective Distribution of your own files and
binaries placed in the actions|cmds|monitor directories that you want
to distribute to specified nodes or node groups, by creating a new
configuration section in the seldist file.
To configure custom selective distribution, complete the following steps:
1. Edit the seldist file and create a new configuration section
including:
The node group you assign all the nodes that should receive the
files below.
File names, prefixes, or both of the files you want to distribute.
See “The seldist Configuration File” on page 211 for syntax rules that
must be observed.
2. Run the opcseldist -check command to check the syntax rules and
correct any syntax errors if reported:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/utils/opcseldist -check seldist
3. Add the nodes to which you want to distribute files to the node group.
4. Run the opcseldist utility to re-configure opcdistm as follows:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/utils/opcseldist -reconfig
