About OVO Interoperability
Interoperability between OVO for UNIX and OVO for Windows
Configuring Agent-based Message Forwarding in OVO for
Windows
To configure an OVO for Windows management server to forward
messages to OVO for UNIX, perform these procedures:
1. Configure OVO for UNIX to accept messages forwarded from a OVO
for Windows management server.
For detailed instructions, see “To Configure OVO for UNIX to Accept
Messages Forwarded from an OVO for Windows Management
Server” on page 250.
2. Configure the OVO for Windows agent.
For detailed instructions, see “To Configure the OVO for Windows
Agent” on page 253.
3. Optional: Configure the Windows registry
For detailed instructions, see “Optional: To Change the Default
Name of the WMI Policy” on page 253.
About Message Forwarding on an OVO for Windows
Management Server By setting up message forwarding from an OVO
for Windows management server, you establish the following conditions:
❏ Management Node
The node on which the OVO for Windows management server is
running sends messages to, and accepts actions from, the OVO for
Windows management server and the OVO for UNIX management
server. The installed agent is an OVO for Windows agent.
❏ OV_Messages
All OV_Messages with property Type equal to ForwardToVP are sent
to the OVO for UNIX management server. All other messages go to
the OVO for Windows management server. This configuration is
established through the OVO for UNIX management server with a
template for flexible-management configuration.
❏ WMI Interceptor
To mark messages that should be forwarded to OVO for UNIX, the
WMI interceptor of the OVO for Windows agent is used to intercept
these messages. Then, messages with the updated value of property
Type will be sent to the OVO for UNIX server.
