Problem D
The command or application parameters are different.
Solution D
Write a script or program using the appropriate parameters. See the
example in Solution C.
Problem E
Inconsistent passwords for the calling user on the selected managed
nodes. OVO provides only one common password for the assigned default
operator on UNIX managed nodes, as well as one common password for
the assigned default operator on MPE/IX managed nodes. Furthermore,
only one password can be specified for default application startup. So
both command broadcasting (using customized user and password) or
application startup fails. Note that a password is required only for
Window (Input/Output) applications, or if the user changes the default
settings.
Solution E
1. Split your broadcast for systems having the same user password.
2. Provide a common password for all selected managed nodes. Be
aware of applied password-aging mechanisms. Alternatively, for
applications configured as using a Window (Input/Output), a
.rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv entry is also sufficient.
3. Use the assigned default user for command broadcasting and the
startup of applications configured as using a Window (Input/Output).
In this case, the action is performed by the OVO action agent and no
password need be provided.
