Deploying Policies

News HP HPOM Policies Recommended Links Reference Version Management Comparing Policies
Creating and Uploading Policies Listing policies installed on the node Removal of policies Assigning Policies Deploying Policies How to find out which policies are associated with the particular node
Policy Groups Default Policy Groups node groups Layout groups Message groups Policy Files Naming Conventions
Troubleshooting Event Correlation Actions History Humor Etc

Once the policies have been created or modified, and assigned, to the managed nodes, they have to be deployed to the managed nodes.

This is done using the Action icon for the managed node or node group. Selecting Deploy Configuration will open up a Selector window. In the window, specify which elements should be deployed. The terminology is confusing.

Documentation uses the term "deployment", and yet the selector window uses the term distribution. The terms actually refer to the same process. Distribution is simply a term from older versions of HPOM. The selector window is mainly a set of check boxes on what to deploy. The most important of them is checkbox that permits to deploy (distribute) policies.

You can perform the policy distribution from the command line using the command:

/opt/OV/bin/OpC/opcragt -distrib -policys <node_name> \ [ <node_name> ... ]

By using the -policys option of the opcragt command you retrieve the assigned policies from the HPOM repository, prepare them for the distribution and start their deployment to the managed nodes.

For more information about the opcragt command options, refer to theopcragt (1M) reference page.

[Feb 02, 2011] OVO 8.10 Deploying Policy to Managed Node

Feb 19, 2008 | IT Resource Center forums

Sally A. Berlowitz:

I am using the OPC Gui to deploy templates, monitors, actions, and cmds to a https managed node. I have made changes to a monitor script located in the directory /var/opt/OV/share/databases/OpC/mgd_node/customer/sun/sparc/solaris 7/monitor.

From the Gui I do an Install/Update SW & Config.

I receive a message in the Message browser that the configuration information was successfully distributed.

I telnet to the managed node and check the files located in /var/opt/OV/bin/instrumentation directory and the files have not been updated.

After turning on trace on the management server, I received the following messages in the System.txt file:

"depl-81 Unable to deploy 'Dep1MIOAn4aqsW' to node 'xx'" 
"depl-175 Message returned from host: (depl-81) Unable to deploy 'DeplMUKASmaiJd' to node 'xx'." 
"depl-2 File '/var/opt/OV/installation/temp/bbc/fx/upload/Dep1MIOAn5aqsW' does not exist."
	

Does anyone have any ideas about what is causing this issue?

Thanks

Tony Cicone:

I would first make sure you can communicate with the node. You can try the following:

(mgmt)bbcutil -ping <nodename> (mgmt)opcragt -status <nodename> (node)/opt/OV/bin/bbcutil -ping <mgmt_sv>

Make sure the cert's are good:

(node)/opt/OV/bin/ovcert -status (node)/opt/OV/bin/ovcert -check

Make sure you have the correct coreid for the node.

(node)/opt/OV/bin/ovcoreid (mgmt)opcnode -list_id node_list=<nodename> * make sure the coreid is the same

If this is all working, restart the agent on the node, and delete the distrib, and try it again.

(node)/opt/OV/bin/ovc -kill (node)/opt/OV/bin/ovc -start

(mgmt)rm /var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC/distrib/* (mgmt)opcrag -distrib -force <nodename>
