HP OSMS Blueprint: HP Manageability Value-Add Software for Open Source Middleware Stacks

Introduction
Executive Summary
The HP Open Source Integrated Portfolio (HP OSIP) comprises a range of products and services
designed to verify that customers can successfully realize the cost and feature benefits of adopting
open source software in their IT environments. HP Open Source foundation components include
the base components of an open source-based ecosystem. HP servers and storage are validated
to run the Linux operating system together with the supported commercial Linux distribution.
HP Open Source Middleware Stacks (OSMS) offer building block applications, such as the Web
Server; technical blueprints, such as this document, describing how to integrate individual
components of a technology stack; and consulting services to speed the successful implementation
of an open source strategy.
Intended Audience
The intended audience for this document is the customers who have installed and deployed HP
OpenView Operations (OVO), HP Serviceguard or HP Data Protector, and plan to integrate
OSMS components with these management tools.
Scope and Purpose
This blueprint provides technical information for integrating HP management tools with OSMS
components. It covers the installation and configuration of Gallery Smart Plug-Ins (SPIs) for HP
OpenView Operations (OVO), MySQL Toolkit for HP Serviceguard, and HP Data Protector. The
software components described in this document are tested and validated to run on HP server
platforms and HP StorageWorks devices.
HP provides quality assurance from extensive integration testing with open source software and
HP hardware so that you can confidently deploy the complete stack. Once you have completed
a successful evaluation, you have the flexibility to “do it yourself” or get assistance from HP to
incorporate open source stacks into your existing IT infrastructure.

HP Open Source Consulting Services can help you build and integrate open source and commercial
software across multiple operating system (OS) environments. Additionally, HP Open Source
