Hardware and Software Requirements
HP OpenView Performance Agent
Installation Requirements
Before installing OVPA, make sure your managed node platform meets
the hardware requirements detailed in the HP OpenView Performance
Agent Installation and Concepts Guide.
The following additional requirements apply:
❏ Communication protocols
See “Communication Protocols for Sun Solaris” on page 225.
❏ DCOM and IIS setup
“DCOM and IIS Setup for HTTPS Managed Nodes on Windows” on
page 226.
Communication Protocols for Sun Solaris
The following communication protocols are supported on OVPA for Sun
Solaris:
❏ NCS 1.5.1
❏ DASCOM DCE 1.1.4.15.3 for Sun Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9
(HPlwdce, the lightweight DCE client bundled within OVPA)
❏ Transarc DCE 2.0 for Sun Solaris 2.6
❏ IBM DCE 3.1 for Sun Solaris 7
❏ IBM DCE 3.2 for Sun Solaris 9
During the installation process, OVPA for Sun Solaris automatically
selects the OVPA communication protocol configuration to match the
protocol configuration in use by the OVO agent, if this agent is present
on the system and the system is using either NCS or DCE. If the OVO
agent is not found on the system, or it is using HTTPS communication,
DCE communication protocol is selected for OVPA 3.x versions and
HTTPS communication protocol is selected for OVPA 4.x versions.
For more information, see the HP OpenView Performance Agent for Sun
Solaris Systems: Installation & Configuration Guide.
