HP OpenView Operations (OVO) is a distributed, client/server software solution designed to
provide service-driven event and performance management of business-critical enterprise
systems, applications, and services.
The SPI for CDS is a value-add software component for HP OVO. This software is provided free
to all customers of HP OVO for use under the terms and conditions documented on the download
Web page. This SPI provides powerful, centralized tools to monitor and manage the operation
of multiple installations of CDS servers on RHEL5.
The SPI components include the following:
• Policies that are designed to monitor key health parameters of the CDS server
• Policies that allow you to monitor the overall availability of the CDS server
• Tools that let you run commands on the managed CDS installation
NOTE: The HP OVO Management Server runs on either HP-UX or Windows. For the examples
in this blueprint, HP OpenView Operations for Windows (OVOW) was chosen.
Figure 7 displays the SPI architecture and OVOW components.
