README File for HP Performance Agent (OVPA) for OpenVMS
Version 4.0
The HP Performance Agent for OpenVMS collects, summarizes, time stamps, and
detects alarm conditions on current and historical resource data across your
system. It provides performance, resource, and end-to-end transaction response
time measurements and supports network and database measurement information.
Use OVPA in conjunction with the OpenView Performance Manager (OVPM)
Version 5.0 or later.
Refer to the HP OpenView Performance Agent User's Manual, Edition: 13 (for
UNIX) and the HP OpenView Performance Manager User's Manual for additional
information. These manuals, and others, are available at the OpenView
website:

Kit Prerequisites
Verify that your OpenVMS system meets OVPA prerequisites. HP Performance
Agents for OpenVMS works on OpenVMS Version 7.3-2 or later.
Make sure that the required OpenVMS patches listed below have been
applied. The patches are available at the services website:

TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
You must enable the PORTMAPPER service for several OVPA components to
function.
The OVPA software links with the HP TCP/IP network product and therefore
requires the HP TCP/IP product to run. OVPA will NOT work with third party
IP products.
·
SSL for OpenVMS
You must have SSL Version 1.2 or later installed and started on your OpenVMS system. The SSL kits are available at:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ssl/ssl.html
·
The Performance Data Collector for OpenVMS
You must have The Performance Data Collector (TDC) Version 2.2-105 or later installed on your OpenVMS system for OVPA to collect data.
The complete TDC kit is included with the .zip kit you downloaded from the web. Only install the Run Time part of TDC for each version of OpenVMS that you want to run with OVPA.
The kit may also be obtained from:
http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/tdc/
Installing the HP Performance Agent Software
To install the kit, follow these steps:

Using the HP Performance Agent for
OpenVMS
The installation procedures for the HP Performance Agent for
OpenVMS installs most of the files in subdirectories

standard system directories such as SYS$STARTUP and SYS$MANAGER.
To start OVPA, log in to the SYSTEM account and enter the following command:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:OVPA$STARTUP
