Getting Started with HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 or Greater in a Smaller Windows Environment

SSH can be configured only if the OpenSSH service is running on the managed systems.

OpenSSH can be installed on Windows systems, by running the Install Open SSH as done in

step three:Configure or Repair Agents or by selecting the tool under DeployDeploy Drivers,

Firmware and AgentsInstall Open SSH.

– Set Trust relationship to "Trust by Certificate." Select this option to configure systems to use

the Trust by Certificate trust relationship with the System Management Homepage.

For Systems Insight Manager on the target systems, this option sets the trust mode to Trust by

Certificate and copies the Systems Insight Manager system certificate to the target system

trusted certificate directory. This option enables Systems Insight Manager users to connect to

the System Management Homepage using the certificate for authentication.

You can configure SSO to management processors for Onboard Administrator and for iLO2.

To configure SSO, select Set Trust Relationship. After you configure SSO, you are not

continually prompted to supply the login credentials for the management processor.

For systems with Management HTTP Server 4.x and earlier, Configure or Repair Agents adds

the Administrator password in the Management HTTP Server store and modifies the SNMP

settings but cannot change trust relationship information.

– Configure Version Control Agent (VCA). Select this option to configure the VCA to point to the

HP Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM), where the repository of software and

firmware is located, enabling version comparison and software updates. This option is

available only for Windows systems. This section can be accessed in the Configuration

section of all CMS systems including Windows, Linux, and HP-UX.

To configure VCA:

a. In the Select the system where the VCRM is installed field, select the server where the

VCRM is installed from the dropdown list.

b. In the User Name field, enter the user name to access the VCRM. This user cannot be the

default "Administrator" user. It has to be a user with administrative privileges.

c. In the Password field, enter the password to access the VCRM.

d. In the Confirm Password field, reenter the password for the VCRM just as you entered it

in the Password field.

– Set administrator password for Insight Management Agents version 7.1 or earlier. Select this

option to repair the administrator password on all Insight Management Agents installed on

the target systems as applicable for Windows and Linux systems.

Note:

Do not set this option if you have Insight Management Agents 7.2 or later

installed.

Note:

If the remote system is running HP-UX, this option is not executed on the

remote system since it is not applicable on HP-UX systems. If only HP-UX

target systems are being configured at this time, you need not set this

option.

If this option is selected, you must complete the following steps:

a. In the Password field, enter the new administrator password.

b. In the Confirm Password field, reenter the new administrator password exactly as you

entered it previously.

c. A checkbox labeled Configure Embedded Remote Support Settings for iLO Management

Engine appears.
