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!
