HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

After the depots containing the software have been acquired, they can be installed from the managed
system using commands such as:
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> OpenSSL
Note: B8465BA depends on OpenSSL, so this must be installed first.
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> T1471AA
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> B8465BA
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> <names of WBEM providers being installed>
Setting up managed storage systems
Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) is a Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA)
standard that enables interoperable management for storage networks and storage devices. HP SIM uses
this standard to discover and manage the storage systems it supports.
You must have a storage system’s WBEM SMI-S provider installed and configured for HP SIM to discover
it. This includes storage devices such as Fibre Channel disk arrays, switches, tape libraries, or hosts (with
Fibre Channel host bus adapters.)
See the HP SIM SMI-S Provider webpage, http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers, to view the latest
information regarding HP SIM support for a particular device. This webpage offers information on obtaining,
installing, and configuring SMI-S providers.
Installing SMI-S providers
Each storage vendor provides the SMI-S provider and installation instructions for its storage system. The
webpage referenced in the previous section provides information on obtaining SMI-S providers. Also, consult
the storage vendor’s website or representative for more information regarding their SMI-S providers. For
each storage system:
1. Verify that the applicable SMI-S provider is installed.
2. If the SMI-S provider is not installed, obtain and install it per the vendor’s installation instructions.
Verifying SSL
HP SIM requires that Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled for the SMI-S provider in order to discover and
manage the storage system that the provider supports. Verify that SSL is enabled for each SMI-S provider.
Configuring SMI-S providers
Occasionally, it might be necessary to modify an SMI-S provider’s port number or password. Use the
provider’s documentation to perform these modifications.
For example, if two CIMOMs exist on the same host, you must configure them to use different ports to
communicate with the CMS.
