2 Installing HP Systems Insight Manager on the CMS for the first time Preparing the system 1. 2. 3. For a first time install of Systems Insight Manager on your CMS, install and configure the CMS. The procedure to complete this step is in this chapter. Install and configure the required management software on the systems that will be managed by the CMS. For more information on this step, see “Setting up managed systems” (page 30) for details. Configure HP SIM for your environment.
appears. Under Systems Insight Manager and related components, select HP SIM-HP-UX, and then select Download latest version of HP SIM-HP-UX for a full product installation. 4. When installing HP SIM, Java Out-of-Box (JAVAOOB) is required and is automatically selected for installation. For additional information, see https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/ swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXJAVAOOB. The kernel parameter values that the JAVAOOB adjusts are listed in the following table.
mxoracleconfig Or mxoracleconfig –h hostname –n port number –d database –u username –p password –j driverjarfilelocation [-f] Table 13 Oracle database commands Commands for an Oracle database Description -h Hostname Full DNS name or IP address of the Oracle server -n Portnumber Port number to be used to connect to the oracle instance.
6. (Optional) To use the CMS as a managed system, install WBEM, if it is not already installed. WBEM requires OpenSSL, so be sure that OpenSSL is installed on the CMS by running the following command: swlist OpenSSL If this command returns Error: Software “OpenSSL” was not found on host, then OpenSSL is not installed. OpenSSL is available on Software Depot at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot or on your operating system media. a.
Tuning HP SIM (Optional) Using SAM or the HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool (kcweb) or kctune, complete the following optional manual parameter adjustments, if needed. • Set the dbc_max_pct kernel parameter. This is the percentage of physical memory that can be dynamically allocated for the data buffer cache. It defaults to 50%, which is usually too high. Set this variable to the percentage of your system physical memory that equals approximately 200 MB.
3 Setting up managed systems Perform step 2 to install and configure the required management software. 1. Install and configure the CMS. The procedure to complete this step is in the installation chapter of this guide. For more information, see “Installing HP Systems Insight Manager on the CMS for the first time” (page 25). 2. Install and configure the required management software on the systems that the CMS will manage. The procedure to complete this step is in this chapter. 3.
3. Acquire and install the managed system software if not previously installed. The SecureShell, WBEM bundles are included on the HP-UX Operating Environment and Application Release media, as well as part of the HP SIM HP-UX depot downloaded from http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/dl_hpux.html. For the WBEM providers, see http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/ hpsim/dl_hpux.html .
2. If the SMI-S provider is not installed, obtain and install it, according to the vendor installation instructions. Verifying SSL HP SIM requires that Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled for the SMI-S provider in order to discover and manage the storage system that the provider supports. Verify that SSL is enabled for each SMI-S provider. Configuring SMI-S providers Occasionally, it might be necessary to modify an SMI-S provider port number or password.
4 Configuring Systems Insight Manager Perform step 3 to configure HP SIM for your environment. 1. Install and configure the CMS. For more information, see “Installing HP Systems Insight Manager on the CMS for the first time” (page 25). 2. Install and configure the required Insight Management Agents on the systems that will be managed by the CMS. For more information, see “Setting up managed systems” (page 30). 3. Configure HP SIM for your environment.
• Configure Managed Systems Configure managed systems as they are discovered, by configuring WBEM and WMI, SNMP, SSH access, and trust relationship. • WBEM/WMI Mapper Proxy To retrieve managed system information on Windows systems, enter the mapper proxy system host name and port number. NOTE: • This page only appears if you selected to manage a Windows operating system.
Table 14 Collections by operating system (continued) Windows Linux HP-UX Other Solaris Microsoft Windows Server 2012 1 Located under All VSE Resources. Operating-system-specific reports The following reports are specific to HP-UX and are added or removed depending on whether HP-UX is selected or not. Windows or Linux do not have specific reports.
4. Add authorizations Authorizations give the user access to view and manage systems. Each authorization specifies a user or user group, a toolbox, and a system or system group. The specific set of tools that can be run against a system is specified in the assigned toolbox. You must plan which systems each user is going to manage and which specific set of tools the users are authorized to execute against the managed systems.
Configuring HP-UX systems manually Procedure 7 Configuring HP-UX manually 1. Configure SNMP to send traps to the CMS. a. Add the full host name or IP address of the CMS as a trap-dest in the following file: trap-dest: hostname or ip_address b. Stop the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the command: /sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster stop 2. 3. Set trust relationship to Trust by Certificate. For more information, see System Management Homepage Online Help at http://h18013.www1.hp.
4. Create subscriptions for WBEM events. NOTE: Subscribing to WBEM Indications/Events on managed systems is optional. NOTE: For more information about HP-UX WBEM events, go to the WBEM Event Subscriptions for HP-UX systems managed by Systems Insight Manager 6.x white paper at http:// www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs. To subscribe to WBEM Indications/Events: a. From the managed system, be sure WBEM is installed. b. Verify that SysFaultMgmt provider is installed: cimprovider –ls c.
5 Upgrading HP SIM This chapter provides the steps to upgrade HP SIM 6.3 and later. Before beginning the HP SIM upgrade, verify that your user name and password to access to the database are valid. When you perform and upgrade, HP SIM checks for a previous installation of HP SIM, stops HP SIM and all related services and daemons, overwrites or copies files to the appropriate locations on the CMS, and then restarts HP SIM and all related services. NOTE: If you are upgrading from HP SIM 6.
b. c. d. 5. Search for a file named ojdbc5.jar or ojdbc6.jar in the [installdir]/lib and [installdir]/jboss/server/hpsim/lib directories and remove it from any locations where it is found. Download the new driver from the Oracle website at http://www.oracle.com/technology/ software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html. Copy the JDBC driver file (ojdbc5.jar or ojdbc6.jar) to the [installdir]/ lib and [installdir]/jboss/server/hpsim/lib directories.
6 Uninstalling HP SIM Uninstalling HP SIM from an HP-UX system CAUTION: Removing HP SIM permanently deletes the information in the database unless you back it up before removing the software. Procedure 9 Uninstalling HP SIM 1. Stop the HP SIM daemons: mxstop 2. Verify that the daemons are no longer running: ps -ef | grep mx If any of the HP SIM daemons are running, note their process IDs (PIDs) in the ps -ef output, and kill them: kill -9 PID where PID is the process ID of the daemon.
7 Configuration options Several configurable parameters in HP SIM that are not available from the GUI. These parameters can only be configured by editing a configuration file on the CMS. NOTE: All HP SIM parameters have been set to predefined values that are appropriate for most situations. Only change these parameters if you are experiencing issues with the default values.
Monitor time-out policy The monitor time-out policy keeps sessions alive, provided the user has a web browser window open displaying the Systems Insight Manager GUI. Closing the browser or navigating to another web page starts the timer for the time-out period. The default time-out period is 20 minutes. Users must use some other means to protect an unattended session from illegal use, such as password-protected screen savers.
Implementation Changes made to the log.properties file do not take effect until the log manager daemon or service is restarted. Restart the Systems Insight Manager service. CAUTION: The queue size should be changed only with extreme care. If the queue is set too high, the log manager consumes too much system memory. NOTE: When the Audit Log file reaches the maximum file size, the log is renamed with MX_LOGROLLFILEEXT extension and a new file is started.
Frequently scheduled tasks Task results can also be removed from the Task Results Page if a certain number of task results for a scheduled task accumulate. This setting defaults to 10 instances of a single task. If more than 10 accumulate on the results page, then the oldest task result for this scheduled task is removed. Last result tasks A task result is kept indefinitely if it is the last result for a scheduled task.

space. Others may be related to how the kernel parameters are tuned. For example, if the maxssiz parameter (which is used to set the maximum size of the stack for each of the user process) is set to 256 MB, you might get an Unable to create native thread error. In this case, try lowering the value to 32 MB or lower to resolve the problem. 8.4 HP Servicecontrol Manager and HP SIM issues 8.8.4.1 If you are upgrading your system from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3 and HP Servicecontrol Manager 3.
Solution:In HP-UX CMS, if the system time is changed after HP SIM service is started, HP SIM continues to show the old time. To resolve this issue, restart the HP SIM service. 8.5 Security issues 8.8.5.1 Attempts to import the HP SIM certificate from cert.pem or server_cert.pem into a separate application result in failure. Solution: An improperly formed certificate file can cause this issue. Back up the certificate file.
