README - HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3

If you have disabled ping status in HP SIM 4.x, it is still disabled in HP SIM 5.x and you cannot enable it

again. You must delete the task and create a new task if you want to change it.

Tool

The message /tmp/Acmd42947.bat[26]: /usr/dt/bin/dtterm: not found might appear when

running the following tools on HP-UX 11.31:

• Retrieve Bastille Configuration file

• Deploy Bastille Configuration

• Consolidated Logging Wizard

• Configuration Synchronization Wizard

To eliminate this problem:

1. Remove the above tools using the CLI command mxtool -r -t <tool name>.

2. Edit the tool definition XML files, replacing instances of dtterm and hpterm with xterm. The

above-mentioned tools can be found in the following TDef files:

security_patch_check.xml

clog_windows.xml

3. Add the tools again using mxtool -a -f <TDef file name>

4. Run the tool.

-------------------------------------------------------------

If a user is created with the operator template, then the user is automatically given authorizations to run any

CMS tool created with the Run as option set to root/Administrator. To avoid granting users access to CMS

tools, when creating new users, the operator template must not be used and authorization must be configured

separately. Note that only HP SIM administrators can create CMS tools.

-------------------------------------------------------------

If an mxauthenticationexception is generated when a tool is run, either from the GUI or the command line

interface (CLI):

1. Be sure that the user you are trying to run as has privileges to run the tool on that system. See the

Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide

to verify and grant privileges.

2. Be sure that the SSH daemon is accessible on the target system.

a. From the CMS, attempt to manually install SSH on the system. There is no need to log in, but be

sure that you can connect.

b. Try to log in as an administrative user to a Windows system or as root on an HP-UX or Linux system.

• From an HP-UX or Linux CMS, enter

ssh root@HP-UX/Linux node

ssh Administrator@Windows node

• From a Windows CMS, enter:

OpenSSH directory\bin\ssh root@HP-UX/Linux node OpenSSH directory>\bin\ssh Administrator@Windows node

If you are prompted to accept a host key or enter a password, then the SSH daemon is accessible.

3. Run mxagentconfig again to be sure that the keys are transferred:
