Maintaining the HP OpenView Platform

❏ Erase the trap daemon logfile

/var/opt/OV/log/trapd.log

if you

no longer need the entries. A large

trapd.log

can reduce the

performance of ITO. A backup file

/var/opt/OV/log/trapd.log.old

is provided.

For detailed information about system maintenance in HP OpenView,
see the HP OpenView Network Node Manager Administrator’s
Reference
.

Maintaining ITO Directories and Files

❏ Do not clean up the mgmt_sv directory

/var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC/mgmt_sv

because it contains

important runtime data. You can cleanup this directory if you are
unable to use another solution or there are too many unprocessed and
old messages.

❏ If you no longer need the logfiles, you should backup and then erase

the continuously growing ITO software
installation/update/de-installation logfile

/var/opt/OV/log/OpC/mgmt_sv/install.log

. The logfile

inst_err.log

and

inst_sum.log

do not continuously grow

because they are generated for each ITO software (de-)installation
and/or update.

❏ You should backup and then erase the ITO error/warning logfile

/var/opt/OV/log/OpC/mgmt_sv/opcerror

and its backups. ITO

uses an automatic backup logfile mechanism having up to four files. If
the

opcerror

logfile size is greater than 1 MB, ITO automatically

performs the following:

• if existent: move

opcerro2

to

opcerro3

• if existent: move

opcerro1

to

opcerro2

• move opcerror to

opcerro1
