HP Systems Insight Manager 6.2 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: HP WBEM Services 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. Systems Insight
Manager 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 Systems Insight Manager
to discover it. This includes storage devices such as Fibre Channel disk arrays, switches, tape libraries, or
hosts (with Fibre Channel host bus adapters.)
To view the latest information regarding Systems Insight Manager support for a particular device, see the
Systems Insight Manager SMI-S Provider webpage, http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers. This webpage
offers information on obtaining, installing, and configuring SMI-S providers.
Setting up managed systems using the Systems Insight Manager interface
The Insight managed system setup wizard and Configure or Repair Agents tools, enable you to configure
your managed systems by installing agents, applying licenses, and executing configuration steps. To run
these tools against multiple systems simultaneously, you must have authorizations to run the Insight managed
system setup wizard and Configure or Repair Agents tools. You must have full CMS configuration privileges
to modify the Systems Insight Manager community strings in the node security file. In addition, you must
enter root or administrator level user credentials for the target system.
• To run Configure or Repair Agents, select Configure→Configure or Repair Agents.
• To run the Insight managed system setup wizard, select Configure→Managed System Setup Wizard.
For more information on these tools, see HP Systems Insight Manager 6.2 User Guide at http://
h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html and the Systems Insight
Manager help system.
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 website or representative for more information regarding their SMI-S providers. For each
storage system:
Procedure 3-2 Installing SMI-S providers
1. Verify that the applicable SMI-S provider is installed.
2. If the SMI-S provider is not installed, obtain and install it, according to the vendor installation instructions.
Verifying SSL
Systems Insight Manager 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 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.
