About Language Support on the Management
Server
On the OVO management server, localization considerations determine
the following:
❏ Language
Language used to display status messages from the OVO server and
managed nodes in the OVO Motif GUI and Java GUI.
❏ Character Set
Character set used for internal processing.
Setting the Language on the Management Server
When you start the OVO server processes (for example, with ovstart
ovoacomm and ovstart opc), OVO evaluates the currently set locale and
selects the related message catalog to be used. This evaluation and
selection usually takes place during system boot.
ovstart is issued on the management server from within the following
shell script:
❏ HP-UX
/sbin/init.d/ov500
❏ Solaris
/etc/rc3.d/S98netmgt
At this point, the LANG variable is set to C or not yet set.
If you want the OVO server processes to send their status messages in a
different (supported) language, set LANG before ovstart ovoacomm is
called. Currently the OVO sever processes send their status messages
only in the English or Japanese language.
