Installing HP OM Agent on non-default drive
One day you may face a need to install agent on another drive “filespace in Unix based systems” to free up some of the space used by the Agent but keep in mind that the agent itself is not consuming much space but hp products (SPIs and Performance Agent) when being installed it is looking for the HP Software date directory and other certain variables and does not allow you to choose where to install their files.
So I will show in the next few lines how to install the agent on another drive.
to give you an overview of the agent installation.
Agent installation files for Windows and Unix environment contain multiple components (for Windows-based there are multiple .msi files and for Unix-based there are multiple .gz files for these components.) that need to be installed in certain order to ensure the agent will work this process is done through an installation script called opc_inst (in Windows-based the file is named opc_inst.vbs)
- We supposed that we want to install the agent on drive e on windows environment so we may execute the below commands in the installation source files:
cscript.exe opc_inst.vbs -srv YOUROVOSERVER -cert_srv YOUROVOSERVER-inst_dir "E:\program files\HP\HP BTO software" -dd "E:\program files\HP\HP BTO software\data"
- In unix evironment you have to download the agent files and almost you have to change opc_inst file to be executable by using the command below
chmod +x ./opc_inst
then you can execute the command below
opc_inst -srv YOUROVOSERVER -cert_srv YOUROVOSERVER-inst_dir "/var/opt/OV" -dd "/var/opt/OV/data"

Thanks mahmoud
-srv Managment Server Hostname or ip
-Cert_srv Certificate server ip "most cases same as Management Server"
-inst_dir is for Agent installation files binaries
-dd for the data directory... Read More
thanks for the nice subject :)

HP Business Technology Optimization
Dear all my blog readers,
I know it was so long since my last article in this small blog, but this all because I am making a big move in my life, it is something like quit being professional trainer and moving deep into being a full dedicated consultant responsible for managing large projects with large teams and manage different expectations from all sides the vendor , customer and absolutely the company I am working for. I do not want to forget I have also to manage my family in a better way.
Anyway, I do not want to go into my life details.
I just want to say, I am today more into HP BTO business, so expect next articles (like step by step or tips or event products hot news) to be in any products surrounding this area; may be tips in OS level Unix and Linux tips, or may be product installation and supporting.
Again, wish me all luck in doing well in my career and in writing these new articles that aimed to facilitate life for other and to be another free source available on our existing meshed life “the internet”.
Wish you all best of luck.

Microsoft Maren: Ana bakteb 3araby bel keyboard el englizy we beyt7awel 3araby begad
مايكروسوفت مرن : أنا في باكتب عربي بالكيبيورد الإنجليزي وبيتحول عربي بجد
http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/Egypt/CMIC/Maren/
Maren converts Romanized Arabic, i.e Arabic text written through Roman characters, into Arabic script as you type. And hence you as a writer/author will be able to send your thoughts in Arabic-script-Arabic instead of Romanized-Arabic, and your recipients will be able to read your text in Arabic, making things more natural. Moreover, if the text you’re writing is expected to reside on the web, you have much bigger chances to appear on the search results than if it were posted in Romanized-Arabic, just by using Maren.
