HP is porting OpenView Operations (OVO) to Linux, and renewing OpenView for Unix in the process. Due next year, the first Linux-based OpenView modules will target applications where Linux is most popular, such as security management and the finance industry.

I was forced at work to work this product, to say the least I was not very pleased. I like other venders such as CA or the like, OpenView was not liked by a lot of people, even in NetOps…
I kinda agree with the above, OpenView when not “in view” is a good thing. Maybe they will address some of the usability issues…then again, the last time I really saw/used it was ~1.5 yrs ago so TTFWIW.
Does this mean HP gets it?
OpenNMS works nice. Although it needs a box with 512megs: http://www.opennms.org/
I have been wanting to try JFFNMS – but haven’t as of yet:

OpenView may be good but Americans no longer have a God-given right to use it.
but its used at the military base I work at.
Ive used Openview on Windows 2000 for about 3 years and it generally runs well but is an extreme pain in many cases. Many times it has slowed down or simply stopped for no reason. Its far too complex to configure and maintain.
Openview is an awsome addition to the linux software library. Quite a few companies use Openview.
