node.
SYNOPSISovcoreid-show [-ovrg <OV_Resource_Group>]

DESCRIPTION
The ovcoreid command is used to display existing OvCoreId values and,
in addition, create and set new OvCoreId values on the local node.
Parameters
The ovcoreid command accepts the following parameters and options:
-show [-ovrg <OV_Resource_Group>]
Displays the current OvCoreId of the system (configuration set‐
ting CORE_ID in namespace [sec.core]). This is the default if no
parameters are specified. If the OvCoreId you want to show
belongs to an OpenView Resource Group, use the -ovrg option to
specify the name of the Resource Group. If an OV Resource Group
is specified, the corresponding configuration settings will be
read or modified as well.
If you specify a non-existent OV Resource Group, ovcoreid dis‐
plays the local OvCoreId.
-create [-force] [-ovrg <OV_Resource_Group>]
Generates a new OvCoreId. If a CORE_ID value already exists, the
existing OvCoreId is only overridden when -force is specified.
If the OvCoreId you want to show belongs to an OpenView Resource
Group, use the -ovrg option to specify the name of the Resource
Group. If an OV Resource Group is specified, the corresponding
configuration settings will be read or modified as well.
If you specify a non-existent OV Resource Group, ovcoreid dis‐
plays an error.
-set [-force] [-ovrg <OV_Resource_Group>]
Sets a specific OvCoreId. The -force option must be used if an
OvCoreId value has already been set. If the OvCoreId you want to
show belongs to an OpenView resource group, use the -ovrg option
to specify the name of the resource group. If an OV Resource
Group is specified, the corresponding configuration settings
will be read or modified as well.
-version
Returns the version of the tool (the component version).
-h|-help
Display all available command options.
AUTHORovcoreid was developed by Hewlett-Packard Company.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0
All steps were successful.
1
If -create or -set is used without -force and a value for OvCor‐
eId already exists.
2
One or more steps were not successful.
Corresponding error messages are written to stderror.
NOTE: Changing the OvCoreId of a system is analogous to giving the sys‐
tem a new identity and is an action that should only be executed if the
consequences are fully understood. Changing the OvCoreId of a system
requires a number of significant changes including the need for a new
certificate, and having to do appropriate reconfiguration of the Open‐
View server(s).
EXAMPLES
The following examples show you how to use the ovcoreid command:
· To display the OvCoreId for the local node:
ovcoreid-show
· To create and set a new OvCoreId on the local node:
ovcoreid-create
· To set the specified OvCoreId on the local node:
ovcoreid-set <OvCoreId>
