HP Insight Control for Linux 7.1 Installation Guide

Select the device name that corresponds to the CMS management interface. The

CMS management interface is the Ethernet adapter that is used for communication

between the CMS and the managed systems.

Enter the number of the TCP port that you want to use for the Insight Control for Linux

repository web server; the default is port 60000. If another service is already using

that port, you are prompted for another entry.

Do not use multi-byte characters or the following characters in the MP user name and

password: ampersand (&), left angle bracket (<), right angle bracket (>), at sign (@),

back quote – also known as a single left quote (`), dollar sign ($), double quote (“),

and percent sign (%).

The default setting on an iLO MP accepts passwords equal to or greater than eight

characters in length. If you want to use a password that contains less than eight

characters, you must change the setting on the iLO. In addition, there are restrictions

on LO100 passwords: any characters over 16 characters are ignored.

You must enter root as the Systems Insight Manager user name, and you must enter

the root password.

After you have successfully run the install.sh script, you must always use the

same collection name if you ever rerun the script. In this release, HP does not support

changing the collection name after the install.sh script completes.

See Table 11 (page 37) for the reasons for exporting the /hptc_cluster file

system to the management hub servers.

If you answer y to configure the CMS as a DHCP server, you are prompted to supply

the DHCP configuration information listed in Table 12 (page 40).

If you answer n to use a pre-existing DHCP server, see Chapter 4 (page 27), which

describes DHCP configuration requirements for Insight Control for Linux.

See Appendix B (page 80) for a sample of the remainder of the output that is generated by

the installation script.

5.5 Synchronizing the Insight Management MIB update kit and SPP or PSP

versions (optional)

This task is optional.

The Insight Management MIB (Management Information Block) update kit for Systems Insight

Manager for Linux contains all the necessary MIB files to update Systems Insight Manager or any

other MIB tool to have the current support for ProLiant servers.

TIP: A best practice is to keep the MIB and SPP or PSP versions synchronized for all components

and tools that use them.

HP recommends that you download and install the MIB that corresponds to the version of the SPP

or PSP supported by this release so that Systems Insight Manager recognizes alerts from the

hardware. The SPP and PSP contain drivers for the hardware.

To download the MIB update kit, see the following website:
