Configuration information, including policies or templates and
services, can be moved from an HPOM for Windows management server
to an HPOM for UNIX management server and vice versa. The
instructions below explain the general procedure. Refer to the
documentation of both products for the syntax of the download and
upload tools.
NOTE:
Some types of policies and templates cannot be used on other
platforms. See Configuration
interoperability for more details.
To move node configuration from HPOM for UNIX to HPOM for
Windows
Download the HPOM for UNIX templates to a download config
package with the command opccfgdwn. (See the HPOM for UNIX
Administrators Reference for more information).
Copy the config download package to the HPOM for Windows
management server.
Upload the config download package with the command-line tool
ovowconfigexchange.
To move all other template information from HPOM for UNIX to
HPOM for Windows
Download the HPOM for UNIX templates to a download config
package with the command opccfgdwn. (See the HPOM for
UNIX Administrators Reference for more information.)
Copy the config download package to the HPOM for Windows
management server.
Upload the config download package with the command line tool
ImportPolicies
Customize the policies as required and deploy to the
appropriate nodes.
To move node configuration and instruction texts from HPOM for
Windows to HPOM for UNIX
This procedure applies only to node configuration and instruction
texts.
Export the HPOM for Windows configuration to HPOM for UNIX
templates using the HPOM for Windows command ovowconfigexchange.
Copy the files from the HPOM for Windows management server to
the HPOM for UNIX management server using a method of your
choice.
Upload the templates to HPOM for UNIX using
opccfgupld or opctempl. (See the HPOM for
UNIX Administrators Reference for more information.)
Additional steps may be necessary. See the ovowconfigexchange
help topic.
To move all other configuration information from HPOM for
Windows to HPOM for UNIX
Export the HPOM for Windows configuration to HPOM for UNIX
templates using the HPOM for Windows command ovpmutil. Do
not mix policies with other configuration information. If you want
to move templates and other configuration information, create two
structured storage files.
For downloaded policies, convert the downloaded structured
storage file to an ASCII file with the command ovpmutil
PCV/x.
Copy the file from the HPOM for Windows management server to
the HPOM for UNIX management server using the method you prefer.
NOTE:
In the Japanese environment, convert the file from uti-8 to
Shift-JIS..
Upload the policy information to the HPOM for UNIX management
server database with the command line tool opctempl.
An XML service file can be used without further conversion.
If you uploaded templates, customize them as required and
deploy to the appropriate nodes.
Using the ovowconfigexchange command
With the release of HPOM for Windows 7.50, you can use the
ovowconfigexchange tool to exchange a subset of configuration data
between cross-platform HP Operations management servers (to support
message forwarding), in most cases between HPOM for Windows and
HPOM for UNIX servers in either direction.
This tool operates only on the HPOM for Windows platform. Its
counterparts on HPOM for UNIX are opccfgupld/opccfgdwn
and opctempl tools. It can upload data from HPOM for
UNIX or download local configuration to files, formatted for upload
to HPOM for UNIX. Files must be manually copied between the
systems. See ovowconfigexchange
for further details.
