HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 User Guide

Solution: To bypass this problem, modify the Ignite tools from the CLI using the tools' original tdefs, as follows:
Procedure A-9 Issue with changing and saving the address of an Ignite server
1. From the CLI, go to the Tools directory under the Systems Insight Manager install directory on Windows
and under /var/opt/mx/tools on Linux and HP-UX.
2. Run mxtool -mf <tool XML> -x force' where <tool XML> for each TDef is as follows:
iux_tools.xml
swm-msa-tools.xml
swm-ssa-tools-up.xml
swm-ssa-tools.xml
hpux\iux_tools.xml
hpux\swm-msa-tools.xml
HP MIBs
Do not rename, move, or delete MIB files from the MIBs directory after they are registered.
Solution: For a MIB file to be listed as registered, the MIB file must reside in the MIBs directory.
OpenSSH
OpenSSH installation fails on a Windows XP SP3 system.
Solution: Verify that the Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts under Local
Policies→Security Options is set to Classic - local users are authenticate as themselves.
Performance
When running Systems Insight Manager in an environment that contains a large number of ProLiant systems
running the WMI-based Insight Agents, the completed job output in Tasks & Logs might exceed several
thousand files.
Solution: This can result in Systems Insight Manager consuming large amounts of memory, task page interface
slowdown, or out of memory errors.
If this behavior is noted, the following workaround can be implemented to alleviate the consumption of
memory and disk space. The workaround adjusts the retention values for completed tasks and can be altered
as desired to reduce resource consumption.
NOTE: This fix only applies to Systems Insight Manager instances which are managing a large number
of servers (maximum 5000) using WMI.
Add the following script to the MX.PROPERTIES file located in the Microsoft Windows directory \Program
Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config or in the Linux and HP-UX directory
/etc/opt/mx/config:
MX_JOB_MAX_COMPLETED_JOBS_PER_TASK=3 Recommended value is 3 for greater than 1500 systems
MX_JOB_MAX_COMPLETED_JOB_AGE=7 Recommended value is 7 for greater than 1500 systems
MX_JOB_KEEP_RUN_NOW_HOURS=8 Recommended value is 8 for greater than 1500 systems
After the MX.PROPERTIES file has been modified, restart the Systems Insight Manager service to initiate
the changes.

in the Performance tab for a blade server.
Solution: To view the accurate drive information, disable the WBEM protocol and enable SNMP protocol.
To do so, select Options→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol Settings.
