Figure 7 HP OVOW Architecture
Software Prerequisites and Reference Guides
Before attempting to install the MySQL SPI, ensure that you have a functional HP OVOW
installation, including the OVOW Management Console and the Linux OVOW SPI agents for
the MySQL server. An HP-UX OVO installation can be used instead. However, this example
uses the Windows version. In addition, you must install the following patches listed in Table 4:

Using the SPIs
The OVOW SPIs support two methodologies to manage the MySQL server:
• User-driven methods
• Event-driven methods
User-Driven Methods
The user-driven functions are accessed from the Tools menu. You can start, stop, and monitor
MySQL from the OVOW console. The following table provides an overview of the tools in the
group Database SPI (DBSPI) MySQL:
