Appendix J: Elink Messages in HPOM
This section provides a list of common Elink messages along with explanations.
1. Connection lost with remote Node
This alert is generated by OVNM_SPI process. This implies the connection is lost with the specified HP
NonStop node. It could be due to OVNM component on the NonStop is brought down or network outage
between the front-end OVNM system and NonStop system. If the connection is broken due to network
problem and none of the Primary/Backup OVNM is connected to the remote NonStop host; then EMON
will put distributors in IDLE state. As soon as Primary/Backup front-end OVNM re-establishes the
connection, EMON points the distributors back to the time when the connection was broken and processes
all the alerts lost during the network outage.
2. Connection established with remote Node
This alert is generated by OVNM process and implies that the connection is established with the specified
HP NonStop node.
3. Connection lost with local ELINK
This alert is generated by the OVNM_SPI process. This implies that the connection is lost to the local Elink
running on the front-end OVNM system. The reason for the message could be that the Elink is killed or
stopped by the user on the FE Windows/UNIX system. To recover from the problem, start the Elink process
on the front-end OVNM system (Windows/UNIX).
