My knowledge is a little out of date but for what it's worth it probably depends on what HP-OV product you are talking about... It its network node manager then you would want your FreeBSD box to run an snmp agent and import the MIB into NNM. Then set-up polling and data collection for appropriate MIB values. OTOH if it is what used to be called ITO, that has remote agents, then AFAIK there are no FreeBSD agents. As ITO includes NNM you could adopt the approach of using SNMP. An alternative would be to perform tests using an ITO agent as a proxy, for instance checking for free disk space using SSH. HTH, Jim Mozley
