NANOG:
I am curious if anyone has been working with HP Openview as an NMS. I've
been looking at it (Specifically the service call portion) and so far,
have not been impressed - I'm just not seeing the feature set I would
expect. Am I just being stubborn and not seeing the advantages of this?
From my understanding the full HP Openview is in beta, but I'm not sure.
I've done some researching on HP's website, and I can't seem to really
find any relevant data. One of the large sticking points is I am trying
to find a *nix based client, specifically one I can get working on
Solaris, and so far, I'm having a difficut time tracking one down.
Am I wasteing my time with HP Openview? If you are using it, are you
pleased? Should I accept fate and life and eat chicken for supper
tonight?
Any advise and suggestions are welcomed.
-Eric
