Installing and Configuring MPS

Figure 3-6 UI to add an OVO server

5. Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the OVO server, OVO’s web services

port, and the customer’s OVO username and the password, then click Add Server.

All configured OVO servers are listed at the top of the page.

6. Optional: Configure additional servers as described in steps 4 and 5.

7. Stop and start the MPS service

a. From the Start menu select Programs | Hewlett-Packard | Multivendor and Application

Adapter | Stop MPS service.

b. From the Start menu select Programs | Hewlett-Packard | Multivendor and Application

Adapter | Start MPS service.

IMPORTANT: MPS can handle multiple HP-UX OVO servers or multiple Windows OVO servers

on a single CMS (for all incidents synchronized with the OVO server where the incident originated

from). A mixture of HP-UX and Windows OVO servers is not possible.

Also username, password and port for multiple OVO servers must be identical.

MPS will report incidents detected by the diagnostic on the CMS only to the default server. Any of

the OVO servers can be made the default server and this can be changed anytime (restart MPS

service after change). Therefore, all devices which can create incidents must be set up in the

node bank of the default server.

Any of the OVO servers can collect incidents through the OVO collection extension, and these

incidents will also be updated on the right server. Follow the description in section 3-2-1 to add as

many OVO servers as there are available in the environment..
