Good Luck. We own OV System manager here, and when we inquired about it, we
were told we would have to BUY the (now called Vantage) package - NO UPGRADE
credit even.. The quote we got was something >$20k For a single OV
management station.

We've been living with just the OV Network Node Manager portion of the
system for a year or so... and can't even find anyone at HP that can tell me
what specific advantages the upgrade would give me.. so I could write up a
justification to buy it. *sigh* (and yes, I've been in contact with multiple
sales and pre-sales reps... of course none of them know what an HPe3000 is
anyway... :-( )

                I see that HP announced over a month ago that they are
discontinuing
                OpenView System Manager for MPE/iX in favor of OpenView
IT/Operations.  Does
                anyone know if HP plans on offering a trade-in/up for those
of us using (or
                attempting to use) OV SysMgr?
