After completing these steps, the system is discovered properly.
-------------------------------------------------------------
To discover detailed information for Linux running on ProLiant systems, you can do one of the following:
• Install the Linux ProLiant agents on the system.
• Update the snmpd.conf file. If you choose this option and do not update the snmpd.conf file, LINUX
appears in the Operating system name column on the system table view page, instead of the true
operating system name, such as Red Hat Advanced Server.
To solve this issue:
1. Stop the SNMP daemon.
2. Add the following line to the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file:
rocommunity public
3. Restart SNMP.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Some systems, such as Cisco Fibre Channel switches, that support both SNMP and SMI-S protocols can
appear as two separate systems within HP SIM.
-------------------------------------------------------------
HP SIM currently does not support an association of management processor to server if the system is based
on PA-RISC because a management processor is only supported on HP Integrity systems. This will not be
supported until a new release of firmware for the PA-RISC systems.
Event
If you try to subscribe for WBEM events from either the command line (mxwbemsub) or the GUI
(Options→Events→Subscribe to WBEM Events) and receive the error message String index out
of range. Verify if the name of the local host resolves to a fully qualified name through DNS. The command
needs the fully qualified DNS name to work properly.
-------------------------------------------------------------
To enable non administrative users to delete or clear events, you can create a toolbox with the Clear Events
and Delete Events tools.
1. Select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations.
2. Click the Toolboxes tab and click New
3. In the Name field, enter a name for the new toolbox.
4. In the Description field, enter a description for the new toolbox.
5. Select Toolbox is enabled.
6. Under Show Tools in Category, select Configuration Tool from the dropdown list.
7. Select Delete Events and Clear Events, and move them to the Toolbox contents window.
8. Click OK
Next, create an authorization on the systems that you want to enable the user to clear or delete events.
1. Select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations.
2. Select the Authorizations tab, and click New.
3. In the Select field, select the users or user groups to which to assign the toolbox.
4. In the Select Toolbox(es) section, select the toolbox you created in step 2.
5. In the Select Systems section, select the systems that you want this toolbox to apply.
6. Click OK.
