OMU9 add node question

[#1]

Hi,

 We have OMU9 HP-UX with latest patches installed. When we tried to add node, eg: a node with our /etc/hosts looks like below:

10.1.1.1 NEWS_server.com.ad 

 The NEWS_server.com.ad added successfully, but automatically changed to news_server.com.ad. The NEWS automatically changed to small letters (news). Anyone know why? Is this the default behavior of OM9?

Points for useful reply.

L.S.

I have the opposite problem: sometimes a node is added in uppercase, which I don't want. I want all nodes lowercase.

There is a server config variable OPC_USE_LOWERCASE that used to be TRUE by default, but has changed to FALSE by default.

Check HP Operations Manager Server Configuration Variables document for OPC_NEW_NAMERES and OPC_USE_LOWERCASE

HtH,

JP.

Customer symptom

When uploading upper case non-IP nodes from OMU8 into
OMU9, the nodes are not converted to lowercase even 
though OPC_USE_LOWERCASE is TRUE (new OMU9 default).
But OMU9 otherwise applies the lowercase handling also
to non-IP nodes. This leads to a situation where the
upper case non-IP nodes cannot be deleted in the admin
UI nor via opcnode CLI.

opccfgupld should take the value of the configuration
variable "OPC_USE_LOWERCASE" into account when uploading
nodes in the OM9 database.

Customer resolution

opccfgupld will now convert IP nodes, non-IP nodes and
external nodes (node pattern) to lowercase if 
OPC_USE_LOWERCASE is set to TRUE.
