    My knowledge is a little out of date but for what it's worth it probably
    depends on what HP-OV product you are talking about...

    It its network node manager then you would want your FreeBSD box to run
    an snmp agent and import the MIB into NNM. Then set-up polling and data
    collection for appropriate MIB values.

    OTOH if it is what used to be called ITO, that has remote agents, then
    AFAIK there are no FreeBSD agents. As ITO includes NNM you could adopt
    the approach of using SNMP. An alternative would be to perform tests
    using an ITO agent as a proxy, for instance checking for free disk space
    using SSH.

    HTH,
