HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.6.0-00 Administrator Guide (Web Version)

When managing a Windows host
• A user with Administrator permissions is assigned as a user who can execute the Host Data Col-
lector service.
• admin$ is shared over the network.
You can check this by using the Windows net share command. If a security-monitoring program
is installed on a normal host, Host Data Collector might not be able to collect the host information.
• In the Windows Firewall settings, File and Printer Sharing is registered as an exception.
When managing a UNIX host (When information about the host is collected by using the root account)
• SSH is enabled.
• Settings have been performed so that you can log in as root via a remote SSH login with password
authentication.
• When the OS of a normal host to be managed is AIX, the ODMDIR environment variable is set.
NOTE:
If the root account is used to register a host into Device Manager, do not use a general user account
to register the host a second time.
When managing a UNIX host (When information about the host is collected by using a general user account)
• SSH is enabled.
• The user account used when the host is registered has been created specifically for Host Data
Collector (recommended).
• When the OS of a normal host to be managed is AIX, the ODMDIR environment variable is set.
• Update permissions (rwx) are set for the /tmp directory.
• Settings have been specified in the PATH environment variable so that the sudo command can
be executed.
• Settings have been specified in the /etc/sudoers file so that the sudo command can be ex-
ecuted.
To ensure that the sudo command can be executed, add the following entry:
user-name-used-for-host-registration hosts-to-be-registered
=(execution-user-name-alias)NOPASSWD:/tmp/FsDataGatherLauncher.Unix.sh
For hosts-to-be-registered, specify the IP address, host name, or ALL.
For execution-user-name-alias, specify ALL, or root.
NOTE:
If a general user account is used to register a host into Device Manager, do not use the root account
to register the host a second time.
