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 HP e3000. The software component on the HP e3000 is MPE/iX
version independent.
You will receive special patch updates when new OVC/SysMgr’s HPe3000 software is released.
1. Please use standard patch procedures to update your OVC/SysMgr HP e3000 management node.
2. After this is done, use the remote software installation scripts on your OVC/SysMgr PC to upgrade your
HP e3000 managed nodes.
The OpenView Console product provides a subset of the full System Manager's solution. It only manages a
single HP e3000 machine, so the managed node is also the management node.
The System Manager product manages multiple HP e3000s 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.
