Installing OVO Agents on the Managed Nodes
Installation Tips

❏ Purge the Functionality of the OVO Default Operator
If you do not need the functionality of the OVO default operator on
your managed nodes (except for the management server), you can
purge the related information. This information will be recreated
when you re-install the OVO agent software.
UNIX:
Erase the home directory of the user opc_op.
Remove the opc_op entry from /etc/passwd.
Remove the opcgrp entry from /etc/group.
MPE/iX:
Purge the account OVOPR.
NOTE You may not remove the OVO default operator from Windows 2000
managed nodes because the agents run under the operator’s account.
❏ Stop All Programs and Applications Using “opcmsg” APIs
When you upgrade or re-install OVO software on managed nodes,
make sure that all programs and applications that use the
opcmsg(3) or opcmon(3) API are stopped.
These APIs as well as other APIs are stored in the OVO shared
library, which is overwritten during OVO software upgrade or
reinstallation. For more information, see the OVO Developer’s
Reference.
