Install Topology Synchronization Package and Metrics Content Pack

OpsCx for VROPS can forward VROPS topology to OMi only when a required topology synchronization package is registered with OMi. This package is included in theOpsCx for VROPS product image archive. Additionally, visual representation of metrics in the OMi web interface (at Workspaces > Operations Console > Performance PerspectivePerformanceGraphs) is only available when bundled graph templates contained in a content pack are imported.

To install and register the topology synchronization package with OMi, perform these steps:

  1. On the Operations Connector host, navigate to the HPBsmIntVROps_OMi_Content.zip file at the following location:

    <OvDataDir>\installation\HPBsmIntVROps\omi-content

  2. Copy the archive file from its directory on the Operations Connector host to a temporary location (<PathToContentPack>) of your choice on the OMi host, and then unzip the archive.

    In this instance, <PathToContentPack> is the temporary location of the unzipped file on the OMi host.

  3. On the OMi host, open a Command Prompt window (command shell) with administrative privileges.

  4. Change the current directory to the HPBsmIntVROps subdirectory within the temporary directory where you unzipped the archive.

  5. Considering the host operating system, run the following command:

    For Windows: install-toposync

    For Linux: ./install-toposync.sh

After completing the procedure for installation and registration of the topology synchronization package, to import the content pack with metric graph templates into OMi, perform these steps:

  1. On the OMi host, open a Command Prompt window (command shell) with administrative privileges.

  2. Considering the host operating system, run the following command:

    For Windows on OMi 10.01:

    <OMiHome>\bin\ContentManager -import <PathToContentPack>\HPBsmIntVROps\HPBsmIntVROps_ContentPack.zip -username <OMiUserName> -password <OMiUserPassword>

    For Linux on OMi 10.01:

    <OMiHome>/bin/ContentManager.sh -import <PathToContentPack>/HPBsmIntVROps/HPBsmIntVROps_ContentPack.zip -username <OMiUserName> -password <OMiUserPassword>

    For Windows on OMi 10.10 or later:

    <OMiHome>\bin\ContentManager -import <PathToContentPack>\HPBsmIntVROps\HPBsmIntVROps_ContentPack_10.11.zip -username <OMiUserName> -password <OMiUserPassword>

    For Linux on OMi 10.10 or later:

    <OMiHome>/bin/ContentManager.sh -import <PathToContentPack>/HPBsmIntVROps/HPBsmIntVROps_ContentPack_10.11.zip -username <OMiUserName> -password <OMiUserPassword>

    For Linux operating systems, make sure you have the necessary permission to execute the command.

    In these instances, <OMiUserName> and <OMiUserPassword> must belong to a user account that has the privileges for importing content packs into OMi.

    Alternatively, you can import the content pack using the Administration > Setup and Maintenance > Content Packs context of the OMi console. Make sure you are logged in with a user account that has the privileges for importing content packs.
