17.6 CONFIGURATION UPLOAD

Configuration upload of the OVO environment is performed using from the command line with

opccfgupld . There is no GUI interface to perform this task. The command line options will determine if you overwrite the existing configuration (-replace), append to the existing components (-add), or add only new conditions to a template (-subentity).

17.6.1 What Are the Prerequisites for Configuration Upload?

The procedure to upload configuration components is as follows:

  • Stop the OVO management server processes and exit the Administrator GUI if you are uploading any configuration data other than just templates or template groups.

  • Upload the configuration with the command

    opccfgupld from the location of the configuration.

  • After successfully uploading the configuration, restart the OVO server processes if necessary.

  • Restart the Administrator GUI.

  • If necessary, assign and distribute the new components to the managed nodes or assign to the operator.

    • 17.6.2 What If You Only Want to Upload Part of the Configuration?

    The following list shows examples of using the

    opccfgupld command. The examples assume that the file tree containing the configuration has already been created by using the

    opccfgdwn command from the Administrator GUI or from the command line. The configuration file tree is assumed to reside in the directory /var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC_appl/newConf.

  • Uploading in Add Mode (Default). The file tree in this example contains configuration information for two templates. If one of the templates already exists, it is not overwritten. /opt/OV/bin/OpC/opccfgupld /var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC_appl/newConf.

  • Uploading in Replace Mode. Even if the template exists, it is overwritten. /opt/OV/bin/OpC/opccfgupld replace /var/opt/OV/share/tmp/Opc_appl/newConf.

  • Uploading and adding at the sub-entity level. Assume that a template already has three conditions and you need to add two more conditions sent from an external source. In this case, you should append the new conditions to the end of the existing template. /opt/OV/bin/OpC/opccfgupld add subentity /var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC_appl/newConf.

    • 17.6.3 How Can You Create a Backup Server?

    Creating a backup server assumes that you have replicated the hardware and software components of the OpenView management platform. This configuration concept is used to provide a backup server for the managed nodes to send their message in the event of failure of the primary OV server. This configuration is covered in more detail in Chapter 19.
