and operating correctly on the CMS. This reduces the time to fix the most common problems. Also,
vseassist verifies communications between the CMS and selected managed nodes to:
• Ensure that communications paths are available.
• Exercise select providers and agents.
• Ensure that providers and agents produce expected results to selected tests.
In addition, vseassist performs basic network configuration checks to ensure that there are no issues
resolving the CMS host name or IP address. Finally, the vseassist tool verifies the configuration and
operation of managed systems by executing vseassist on the managed node.
Use cases
Execute vseassist from the HP SIM graphical user interface, from the command line on the
CMS, or from the command line on a managed node.
You can use the vseassist tool to check the configuration and operation of the software in three
ways:
• Verify the CMS configuration.
• Verify the communication between the CMS and selected managed nodes.
• Verify the configuration of selected managed nodes. This can be performed remotely from the
CMS or directly on a managed node, as shown in Figure 2 (page 127).
