Localization Support

Instructions for localization:

HP Operations Smart Plug-in for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Installation and Configuration Guide and HP Operations Smart Plug-in for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Reference Guide are localized in Japanese.

The SPI installers obtain the HPOM for UNIX locale from the ctrl.env namespace before proceeding with the Microsoft Exchange SPI installation. Verify if the namespace has been set using the following command:
# /opt/OV/bin/ovconfget ctrl.env LANG

If the ctrl.env namespace is not set by the HPOM, run the following command on the HPOM Server before starting the Microsoft Exchange SPI installation:
# ovconfchg -ns ctrl.env -set LANG <HPOM locale>
where <HPOM locale> could be C, ja_JP, ko_KR, or zh_CN.

Example: ovconfchg -ns ctrl.env -set LANG ja_JP
Depending on the <HPOM locale> value, the LANG variable in the ctrl.env namespace will be set to C.utf8, ja_JP.utf8, ko_KR.utf8, or zh_CN.utf8.
