System Maintenance

processed only when the ITO processes are next restarted. If corrupt
queue files prevent the server processes from being started, remove the
queue files.

1. Stop all ITO server processes:

/opt/OV/bin/ovstop

2. Remove a selected or all temporary files:

rm -f /var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC/mgmt_sv/*

3. Restart the ITO server processes:

/opt/OV/bin/ovstart

Maintaining the Database

To ensure that the ITO database runs efficiently, you should perform the
following tasks periodically:

❏ Download history messages and audit information using the

Database Maintenance

window.

To restore previously backed-up history messages or audit
information, see the

opchistupl(1m)

or

opcaudupl(1m)

man

pages in the HP OpenView IT/Operations Man Pages.

❏ Backup the ITO configuration regularly. See the previous sections for

more informations on what backup possibilities are available in ITO.

❏ Re-organize the database using

opcdbreorg

. This tool frees empty

pages and re-organizes the B-trees. For more details, see the

opcdbreorg(1m)

man page.

❏ If a very large number of messages have been produced—perhaps by

an inappropriately configured template—operators may find that
their

Message Browser

takes a long time to open. In this case, as

user root use the command-line utilities

opcack

or

opcackmsg

to

acknowledge these messages and move them to the history database.
For more details, see the

opcack(1m)

and

opcackmsg(1m)

man

pages.
