What Does the EVM Server Do?
The EVM Server provides:
EVM job creation and job management functions. These features allow you to create, validate and manage jobs.
EVM Network and EVM Storage Views. These graphical displays provide useful information that help you create jobs and identify available resources.
HTTP server for EVM. This server allows you to use a Web browser to access all of the features of EVM and CLI Script Window.
WBEM Device Home. The WBEM features allow you to manage devices and control access to the EVM Network.
What Does the EVM Server Installation Include?
When you perform the EVM Server installation from the CD-ROM, the functionality for both the EVM Server and the EVM Client are automatically installed on the computer. This process includes the loading of program files, setting up initialization files and creating program and job directories. The EVM Server functionality is described on this page. For help on the EVM Client functionality, see EVM Client Planning.
IMPORTANT: Do not perform the EVM Server installation and the EVM Client installation on the same computer.
Does It Matter Which Computer is the EVM Server?
Yes. Because the EVM Server provides the browser access to the EVM Network, it should be subject to a minimum of down time. See EVM Server Example.
Should I Include Any EVM Directories in the Path Environment Variable?
EVM runs without adding directories to the path. However, when using EVM Command Line to run EVM jobs from a batch file, adding /opt/CPQevm/bin to the path will eliminate the need to use the full path.
