README - HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3

If you want the logs to be in a different language (German or English), you have three options:
• Stop HP SIM service. Change the default locale of the user account specified in the Log On As property
of the HP SIM service (the user that performed the install) to the desired language, and restart the
service.
• Stop HP SIM service. Change the Log On As user for the HP SIM service to the local administrator
account, and be sure its locale is set to the desired language. Restart the service.
• If you do not want to change the default locale of either of the previous accounts to the desired language
for the logs, create a new administrator-level account with the desired default locale. Then uninstall HP
SIM and reinstall HP SIM specifying the new administrator-level account.

On a Windows NT 4.0 system running Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1, remotely browsing into a CMS
causes a DLL failure after being connected for hours. This issue occurs on a Windows CMS and on an HP-UX
CMS.
Collections
Use English text for naming collections. If you do not use English text, you might see named collections
generated by HP SIM. For example, collection-<number>
Complex
You cannot delete a complex and all associated systems when you first select either the system or complex
alone and then try to delete. You must select all associated systems from the list for the deletion to work
correctly.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Discovered complex systems might display an inconsistency regarding the number of nPars within the complex.
When viewing the complex through the System Page or Report, the number of nPars represent the total
number of nPars that can potentially be in the complex, regardless of the state of the individual nPars.
Alternatively, when viewing nPars within a complex under a system collection, the number of nPars associated
with a complex is equal to what HP SIM has determined through a WBEM provider. Therefore, the number
of nPars shown in the system collection might be less than or equal to the number displayed in the System
Page or Report.
Configure or Repair Agent task
HP-UX 11.31 does not ship with smbclient, therefore, any Configure or Repair Agents task from an HP-UX
11.31 CMS to a Windows target fails until smbclient is installed on the CMS. A back up smbclient is located
under /opt/mx/bin/smbclient. Copy this to the opt/samba/bin/smbclient folder to execute the
Configure or Repair Agents task.
-------------------------------------------------------------
To push an SSH key through CRA or mxagentconfig to a target system running Windows Vista, and
Windows 2008, HP recommends turning off the Windows Vista User Account Control.
Disable user account control on Windows 2008 systems to configure agents through CRA. CRA is not
supported on Windows Vista.
CRA is supported in Windows XP. However, if you receive a connection failed error in CRA, you might have
Windows XP SP2 or later installed. Windows XP SP2 disables admin share. You must enable admin share
by using the command net share admin$.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When configuring a CRA task, limit the number of target servers to 100 or less so that the internally created
Windows command will not exceed the maximum Windows command line length.
-------------------------------------------------------------
CRA tasks that combine Critical, Unknown, and Unmanaged targeted systems appear to hang at 0% but
will eventually complete.
