Reference topic, running the OAM IVP:

http://www.odusergroup.org/forums/index.php?topic=887.0

Whenever you move to a new release of the operating system...or for that matter applying a major service upgrade...the last thing you want to do is for CMOD to not come up and you have to work long hours to resolve.

All too frequently the problem is with OAM, probably that a bind hasn't been performed, but you as the CMOD person - because it's CMOD that surfaces the problem - gets stuck with problem determination.

You can make your life a lot easier, and the problem determination much quicker, if you get the OAM IVP running now.  Then immediately after the upgrade if the OAM IVP is not working you've just taken a huge step in localizing the problem as to why CMOD isn't working.

This really is a case of the saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
