An Introduction to Integrating Partner Applications with VPO
VPO Conceptual Overview
Chapter 1 41
Presenting the Information to the User
The typical working environment for a VPO user consists of the following
main windows in the Motif-based GUI:
❏ IP Map
❏ Managed Nodes
❏ Message Groups
❏ Message Browser
❏ Application Desktop
The content of these windows depends on the tasks and responsibilities
assigned to a particular user; users only see the objects and messages for
which they are responsible and can access only those applications needed
to perform their allocated tasks.
The entire working environment of VPO can be configured to match the
skills and responsibilities of the individual operator in terms of
management information supplied and capabilities granted. The result
is a task-oriented working environment. The internal notification service
of VPO brings critical events to the user’s notice by changing the color of
the affected icons. In addition, external notification services such as
pager, email, warning light, or telephone call initiation can be activated.
The powerful features of VPO are complemented by integrated partner
solutions. Examples of tightly integrated solutions are HP OmniBack,
and HP OmniStorage.
