Run as root
The Probe for HP Operations Manager was developed using
the HP API. The API functions must be issued by the user root. OVO
allows users with a user ID of zero (uid 0
), typically root
,
to access the OVO Interface APIs and to define actions for messages
that are sent to the management server. Therefore, you can only run
the probe as root
.
If you do not run the probe as root, the probe fails to start and writes the following ProbeWatch message to the log:
Must
be root to run this probe!
