2 Important notes Central Management Server Use careful planning if you want to deploy new drivers, firmware agents, or other software to the local CMS because you might receive unexpected results, such as a mandatory reboot of the CMS. Configure or Repair Agents Configure or Repair Agents fails on Linux systems if the HP Insight Management WBEM providers are already installed on the system.
3. If you discover the ESXi host in “Lockdown Enabled” mode, no credentials are required. Neither Insight managed system setup wizard nor configure/repair agents works in “Lockdown Enabled” mode. 4. 5. Migration from “Lockdown Disabled” to “Lockdown Enabled” resets the credentials. Migration from “Lockdown Enabled” to “Lockdown Disabled” will require a discovery task with the appropriate credentials.
Insight Remote Support The minimum supported HP iLO 4 firmware version to register Insight Remote Support through the HP iLO 4 is 1.05 or above. You can download the latest firmware from the HP website www.hp.com/support/ilo4/ or when installing the HP Service Pack for ProLiant 2012.06.0 (B) or higher. When using the HP iLO 4 1.05 firmware version, you need to manually activate remote support. Instructions can be found at www.hp.
Software or Firmware upgrades through HP-UX and HP SIM require the HP VCA be present on the target. While SW/FW upgrades from a Linux or Windows CMS can perform target-based FW upgrades to OA and VC, these upgrades are not possible through an HP-UX CMS. ------------------------------------------------------------If SW/FW upgrades are failing immediately with no error code, then be sure there are no instances of the HP SUM process already running on the CMS. Only one instance at a time can be running.
