README File for HP Performance Agent (OVPA) for OpenVMS Version 4.0
       ===================================================================

  The HP Performance Agent for OpenVMS collects, summarizes, time stamps, and 
  detects alarm conditions on current and historical resource data across your 
  system. It provides performance, resource, and end-to-end transaction response 
  time measurements and supports network and database measurement information.

  Use OVPA in conjunction with the OpenView Performance Manager (OVPM)
  Version 5.0 or later.

  Refer to the HP OpenView Performance Agent User's Manual, Edition: 13 (for
  UNIX) and the HP OpenView Performance Manager User's Manual for additional
  information.  These manuals, and others, are available at the OpenView
  website:

Kit Prerequisites
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Verify that your OpenVMS system meets OVPA prerequisites. HP Performance 
  Agents for OpenVMS works on OpenVMS Version 7.3-2 or later. 
  Make sure that the required OpenVMS patches listed below have been 
  applied. The patches are available at the services website:

        http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do


  OpenVMS Version 7.3-2
  ---------------------

  - VMS732_UPDATE V6.0 (or later)

  OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.2 or later
  OpenVMS Integrity servers Version 8.2-1 or later 
  ------------------------
    There are no prerequisites.


  TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
  ---------------------------
    You must enable the PORTMAPPER service for several OVPA components to
    function.

    The OVPA software links with the HP TCP/IP network product and therefore
    requires the HP TCP/IP product to run. OVPA will NOT work with third party
    IP products.
  

  SSL for OpenVMS
  ---------------
    You must have SSL Version 1.2 or later installed and started on your OpenVMS
    system. The SSL kits are available at:
    http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ssl/ssl.html

  The Performance Data Collector for OpenVMS
  ------------------------------------------
    You must have The Performance Data Collector (TDC) Version 2.2-105 or later
    installed on your OpenVMS system for OVPA to collect data.

    The complete TDC kit is included with the .zip kit you downloaded from the
    web. Only install the Run Time part of TDC for each version of OpenVMS that
    you want to run with OVPA.

    The kit may also be obtained from:
    http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/tdc/
