HP Systems Insight Manager 7.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

NOTE: HP Integrity VMs do not support running an application at the same level as the host.
NOTE: If you are running OpenView NNM or OpenView Operations on the same system, you
must change the SNMP trap listening port in those products to make it function properly. For more
information, see the OpenView product documentation in the Integrating Systems Insight Manager
6.0 with HP OpenView Select Access white paper at http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/
sim/docs.
NOTE: Legacy Novell systems that have only an IPX network enabled will not be manageable
by an HP-UX CMS. An IP-based network must be available.
NOTE: If you are using NIS, ping localhost and if you receive no response, create or edit
the file /etc/nsswitch.conf and add the following entry in the file: hosts: files dns
nis. If the NIS server is not in the network, do not add the nis entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
HP-UX patches
Before you run Systems Insight Manager, install all required patches. In particular, you must install
all patches that are required to support the Java version that Systems Insight Manager uses.
NOTE: To determine the Java version installed, execute:
/opt/mx/j2re/bin/java -version
Currently, the product is shipped with Java 1.7 Runtime Environment.
NOTE: For more information about Java patches, go to http://www.hp.com/go/java, and select
Patches from Site information. This site determines the recommended patches for the Java
application. Follow the instructions. To download all the patches, go to the ITRC download center
(login required). For more information on individual patches, click the patch name.
