HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

Configuring HP-UX systems manually
Procedure 7 Configuring HP-UX manually
1. Configure SNMP to send traps to the CMS.
a. Add the full host name or IP address of the CMS as a trap-dest in the following file:
trap-dest: hostname or ip_address
b. Stop the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the command:
/sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster stop
2. Set trust relationship to Trust by Certificate. For more information, see System Management
Homepage Online Help at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/
agents/documentation.html.
3. Configure secure shell (SSH) access.
On the CMS, copy the SSH-generated public key from the CMS to the managed system using
the mxagentconfig command:
Use one of the following commands:
• mxagentconfig -a -n <hostname> -u root -f
<file_with_root_password>
• mxagentconfig -a -n <hostname> -u root -p <root_password>
NOTE: Using the —p option exposes the password through ps output, so use of the
-f option (with a file only readable by root, and containing only the managed system
root password) is highly recommended when using mxagentconfig -a. If the -p option
is used, enclose the password in single quotes if the password has any special characters,
such as $. For more information and options, see the mxagentconfig manpage with
man mxagentconfig.
If SSH is not installed on the managed system, enter the following:
swinstall -s /directory/depot T1471AA where directory is the path to the depot
file and depot is the name of the depot file. For example:
swinstall -s /tmp/HPSIM_download.depot T1471AA
