About OVO Interoperability<br />

Interoperability between OVO for UNIX and OVO for Windows<br />

Interoperability between OVO for UNIX and<br />

OVO for Windows<br />

The OVO management server is available in two versions: a UNIX<br />

version and a Windows version. Both versions of management servers<br />

can work together to manage the same nodes in your environment.<br />

OVO for UNIX and OVO for Windows provide several possibilities for<br />

exchanging messages and configuration. Figure 5-1 on page 246 shows<br />

the various communication paths between OVO for UNIX and OVO for<br />

Windows:<br />

❏ Message forwarding<br />

OVO for Windows management servers can forward messages to<br />

OVO for UNIX management servers. See “Forwarding OVO for<br />

Windows Messages to OVO for UNIX” on page 248 for more<br />

information.<br />

❏ Messages<br />

OVO agents can send messages in the following directions:<br />

OVO for UNIX agents to OVO for Windows servers<br />

OVO for Windows agents to OVO for UNIX servers<br />

See “Configuring OVO Agents to Send Messages to Different<br />

Management Servers” on page 247 for more information.<br />

❏ Configuration<br />

You can synchronize OVO configuration information such as<br />

templates (policies) and nodes between OVO for UNIX and OVO for<br />

Windows using the upload and download tools provided with each<br />

version of the management server. See “Synchronize Configuration<br />

Between Servers” on page 254 for more information.<br />

NOTE OVO for Windows policies are synonymous with templates.<br />
