HP Insight Managed System Setup Wizard 7.0 Getting Started Guide (7.0 and 7.1)

1 Overview
Insight managed system setup wizard configures systems to enable them to be managed by Systems
Insight Manager (HP SIM) and its plug-in applications.
The managed system setup wizard eases configuration of systems for many Insight Management
products and features. It is especially useful for configuration of the HP Matrix Operating
Environment, but can also be used to configure Insight Management and HP SIM features as well.
After you successfully complete the managed system setup wizard, the selected systems are
configured with the management features you specify.
The managed systems:
• Are set up with any agents necessary to enable the management features
• Have software licenses applied as needed
• Have completed any additional configuration steps
You can run this wizard at any time to change the configuration or management features of your
systems. You should run the wizard to configure a managed system each time its operating system
is installed, updated, or changed.
You also can use this wizard to diagnose configuration issues with your systems.
Before running the managed system setup wizard
You must have properly discovered all systems in HP SIM and have licenses available for all
management features. These steps are necessary before running the managed system setup wizard
to configure and manage the systems.
• The target systems of this wizard must be fully discovered and should have valid credentials
stored within HP SIM. If credentials are not stored in HP SIM you can enter credentials for the
system during the Set Credentials step of the wizard.
NOTE: While most systems must be successfully discovered in HP SIM before being selected
as targets for the managed system setup wizard, Citrix Xen hosts and virtual machines may
have minor HP SIM discovery errors (“Completed with minor errors”) before being configured
by the managed system setup wizard. These errors indicate that a “discovered VM guest is
not associated with the VM host”.
When you run the managed system setup wizard with Citrix Xen hosts and virtual machines
as targets, and select a management feature that requires VMM, the managed system setup
wizard will configure VMM properly including registering the VM host with VMM. This
configuration by the wizard resolves the “not associated with the VM host” HP SIM discovery
error.
• You must provide software licenses for any products that require them.
Licenses may be needed in the form of either “5x5 keys” or Software Distributor (SD) license
bundles (for HP-UX).
For 5x5 keys, the managed system setup wizard presents a dialog for entering license keys
to be consumed. You also can add 5x5 keys using the License Manager (select the Deploy
→License Manager menu and click the Add Licenses button).
NOTE: Any SD license bundles must be installed on managed nodes. Insight managed
system setup wizard scans for SD licenses that have been installed on the selected target
systems.
Some products also provide trial licenses that enable using the product for a short period.
