Create an HPOM data source connection

Note: When you create a data source connection for HPOM on the Service Definition page, the same data source connection appears on the Operation Manager page as well. However, updating the data source connection on the Service Definition page does not update the connection details on the Operation Manager page.

  1. In the Administration Console, click Collection Configuration > Operations Manager.
    The Operations Manager page opens.
  2. Click Create New.
    The Connection Parameters dialog box opens.
    Note: If you are using the database method of authentication to connect to the HPOM database server, you must provide the user details that have the select and connect permissions for the “openview” database here.
  3. In the Connection Parameters dialog box, type the following values:
    4. Field Description
    Host name IP address or FQDN of the HPOM database server.
    Port Port number to query the HPOM database server. The default port is 1433 if SQL Server is the database type and 1521 if Oracle is the database type.
    Database Instance

    System Identifier (SID) of the HPOM database instance. The default database instance is OVOPS.

    Note: For information about the database host name, port number, and SID, contact your HPOM database administrator.
    Database type The type of database engine that is used to create the HPOM database. It can either be Oracle or MSSQL.
    Windows Authentication

    If you have selected MSSQL as the database type, you have the option to enable Windows authentication for MSSQL, that is, the user can use the same credentials to access SQL Server as that of the Windows system hosting the database.
    Database name Name of the database. This field appears only if MSSQL is selected as the database type. The name is openview.
    User name

    Name of the HPOM database user.

    Note: If the Windows Authentication option is selected, this field is disabled.
    Password

    Password of the HPOM database user.

    Note: If the Windows Authentication option is selected, this field is disabled.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click Save.
    A Saved Successfully message appears in the Information message panel.

Data collection for the newly created HPOM data source is enabled by default. In addition, the collection frequency is scheduled for every one hour.
