OVO Procedures
Install the Openview Console for Unix 8.X with NNM 7.5X (Solaris 10

that the directories are named correctly and have the correct capitalization.
a. OVOCD1
b. OVOCD2
c. OVOSSPI
d. OVNNMCD1
e. OVNNMCD2
4. Copy the contents of the OVO 8.1 and NNM install CDs to the correct directory for
OVOCD1, OVOCD2, OVNNMCD1, and OVNNMCD2.
5. Look at the contents of the OVOSSPI DVD and copy the contents of the Solaris directory
to the OVOSSPI directory.
6. Download the OVO-Solaris-10.tar.Z installer file and place it in the /tmp directory.
7. Extract the OVO-Solaris-10.tar.Z by typing “gunzip /tmp/OVO-Solaris-10.tar.Z” and
then tar -xvf OVO-Solaris-10.tar.Z”
8. Copy the ovoinstall file to /tmp/OVOCD1
9. Copy ovo.info.SunOS.5.10.txt to
/tmp/OVOCD1/Required_OS_Patch_Lists

OVO_Sol10_Installer.tar.gz to that directory.
11. Extract the OVO_Sol10_Installer.tar.gz file with
the commands “gunzip
OVO_Sol10_Installer.tar.gz” and “tar –xvf
OVO_Sol10_Installer.tar.gz” to the /tmp/sd
directory
