HPOM 9 Env Variables

Note: HP renamed the product called now HP operations manager way too many times. Also it is very inconsistent with using abbreviations. Here we will assume that the term "HP Operations manager" and abbreviations HPOM, OMU, and OVO  mean the same thing :-)

On UNIX systems HPOM uses the following directory trees:

- HP-UX, Solaris, Linux there are three main branches

• /opt/OV
  • /opt/OV/bin
  • /opt/OV/man
  • ... ... ... 
  • /opt/OV/bin/OpC is important an importnat btanch with its own complex hierachy
•  /var/opt/OV
  • /var/opt/OV/datafiles
  • /var/opt/OV/bin/instrumentation  -- scripts and configuration files (),
  • /var/opt/OV/tmp runtime files
• /etc/opt/OV

- AIX

• /usr/lpp/OV
• /var/lpp/OV

The HPOM scripts ov.envvars.csh and ov.envvars.sh, located in HPOM's bin directory (normally /opt/OV/bin). set environment variables that allow you to traverse HPOM 's directory structure much more easily.

The following variables are defined

• OV_LOG=/var/opt/OV/share/log
