Sun Management Center 3.6.1 Installation and Configuration Guide

Chapter 10 Integration With Other Enterprise Management Platforms

This chapter provides an overview of the integration of Sun Management Center with other management platforms. These platforms include HP OpenView Operations, BMC Patrol, Unicenter TNG, and Tivoli TME.

HP OpenView Operations Integration

HP OpenView (HPOV) Operations, formerly known as VantagePoint Operations, is a distributed client/server software product for managing distributed environments. HPOV Operations is a centralized management console (server) that allows users to interact with agents running on host systems being managed.

Sun Management Center complements the features of HPOV Operations by providing in-depth monitoring and management of Sun products. Integration between HPOV Operations and Sun Management Center is accomplished through the HPOV agent and Sun Management Center server.

HPOV Integration Key Features

HPOV and Sun Management Center integration enables you to do the following tasks:

HPOV Integration Key Components

The key components for HPOV integration are as follows:

HPOV Integration Prerequisites

To integrate the Sun Management Center and HP OpenView Operations, the integration software must be installed on the HPOV server host and then distributed to all systems hosting Sun Management Center servers. This integration is facilitated by HPOV distribution capabilities.

The installation on the HPOV Operations server automatically adds a number of icons to the HPOV Application Bank, enabling operators to start the Sun Management Center console.

Event forwarding is performed through a mapper process, which connects to the Sun Management Center server and the HPOV agents.

HPOV Integration Supported Platforms

HPOV is supported on Solaris 7, Solaris 8, Solaris 9, and Solaris 10 releases.

Computer Associates Unicenter TNG Integration

The Unicenter TNG product provides network-monitoring functionality for a heterogeneous environment. Sun Management Center provides advanced capabilities and in-depth information for monitoring Sun products. An integration package from Sun provides a bridge between the two products. The integration of these two products provides Unicenter TNG users with superior management capabilities in environments that contain Sun products.

Unicenter TNG Integration Key Features

Unicenter TNG and Sun Management Center integration provides the following capabilities:

Unicenter TNG Integration Key Components

The key components required to integrate Unicenter TNG and Sun Management Center are as follows:

Unicenter TNG Integration Prerequisites

The following software is required in order to integrate Unicenter TNG and Sun Management Center:

Unicenter TNG Integration Supported Platforms

The following platforms are supported:

Starting the Adaptor in Command—Line Interface

You can run the Unicenter TNG adaptor without starting the graphical user interface. To start the adaptor in a command—line interface, use this syntax: 


# SunMC_base_dir/SunMC-TNG/sbin/ea-start [ -h | help] [-f propertyfile \
[ -u username ] ]
Note –

The UNIX token (\) indicates the continuation of a command—line.

Here is an example of starting the CA Integration TNG Unicenter add-on in the command—line interface :


# /opt/SUNWsymon/SunMC-TNG/sbin/ea-start -f \
/var/opt/SUNWsymon/SunMC-TNG/SunMCToTngAdaptorMain.cfg

Starting the Adapter in Graphical User Interface

To start the adaptor in the graphical user interface, use this syntax: 


# SunMC_base_dir/SunMC-TNG/sbin/ea-start [-h help] [-ss serverhost] \ 
[-sp serverport] [-ts TNG hostname, TNG hostname...] \
[-tp TNG port] [-l log filepath] [-i pollinginterval] \
[-u username]

Here is an example of starting the CA Integration TNG Unicenter add-on in the graphical user interface: 


# /opt/SUNWsymon/SunMC-TNG/sbin/ea-start -ss sunmcserv -ts tngserv
