Preparing OpenView Console/System Manager
The HP OpenView Console/System Manager (OVC/SysMgr) product uses a client/server
design that includes software that resides on both the PC and HP3000. The software
component on the HP3000 is MPE/iX version independent.
You will receive special patch updates when new OVC/SysMgr’s HP 3000 software is
released.
1. Please use standard patch procedures to update your OVC/SysMgr HP 3000
management node.
2. After this is done, use the remote software installation scripts on your OVC/SysMgr PC
to upgrade your HP 3000 managed nodes.
The OpenView Console product provides a subset of the full System Manager's solution. It
only manages a single HP 3000 machine, so the managed node is also the management
node.
The System Manager product manages multiple HP 3000s on the network and powerful
WRQ Reflection scripts allow you to update all the remote nodes automatically.
If you are using OpenView Console to manage a single MPE/iX machine:
1. Log on to the OVC PC.
2. Double-click the program icon.
3. In the HP OpenView group, double-click the Console Setup script icon.
4. Follow the instruction and answer the prompts that display.
For questions regarding the prompts or OpenView Console refer to HP OpenView
Console Manager’s Guide.
5. On each managed node (PC), use the VERCHECK.EMS.SYSMGR program to verify that the
managed node software version is A.01.03.
