at ncsman.pub.hpncs and manual.pub.hpncs.
❏ Specify One IP Address
Identify managed nodes having more than one IP address. Specify
the most appropriate address (for example, the IP address of a fast
network connection) in the OVO configuration. Verify that all other
IP addresses of that managed node are also identified on the
management server. Otherwise, messages from multiple IP address
systems might not be forwarded by OVO.
❏ Reserve Extra Disk Space
During installation on managed nodes, twice the amount of disk
space normally required by OVO is needed. This extra disk space is
needed because the tape image is transferred to the managed node
before it is uncompressed and unpacked.
❏ Use Long Host Names for Actions Only
Use long host names in your templates only when performing
automatic actions or operator-initiated actions.
❏ Use Operating System Versions Supported by OVO
Do not upgrade or downgrade the operating system version of the
management server or managed node to a version not supported by
OVO. For a list of supported operating system versions on the
management server and on the managed nodes, see the OVO
Installation Guide for the Management Server.
You can also get a list of supported operating systems by running the
following script on the management server:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/agtinstall/opcversion
