Server self-management policies

HPOM includes a number of self-management policies that monitor the management server. These policies monitor processes that need to be running on the management server, and make sure you that know about any problems.

• VP_SM_OVOWServices

  The service/process monitors check approximately every five minutes whether the necessary services and process are still running on the management server. If not, a message is sent to the active message browser. The operator can restart the service using an operator-initiated command. When the service is running again, the message is acknowledged.

  The following services are monitored by the VP_SM_OVOWServices policy:

  • OvAutoDiscovery Server
  • OvDnsDscr
  • OvEpMessageActionServer
  • OvEpStatusEngine
  • OvMsmAccessManager
  • OvPmad
  • OvSecurityServer
  • OvOWReqCheckSrv
  • Windows Management Instrumentation
• OvSvcDiscServerLog

  Checks the log file of the service discovery server for errors.

• VP_SM-Server_EventLogEntries

  Checks the Application Event Log for errors.

• VP_SM-Server_SyncAgentServices

  Synchronizes the agent services according to the specified schedule.

• VP_SM-WMI-Restart

  Tries to stop and restart OVMsmAccessManager and OVEpStatusEngine if WMI terminates unexpectedly.
