Managed storage system
To view the latest information regarding HP SIM support for a particular storage system, including Fibre
Channel disk arrays, switches, tape libraries, or hosts (with Fibre Channel host bus adapters), see the HP
SIM SMI-S Provider web page at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers.
This webpage also offers information on obtaining and installing SMI-S providers.
SSH requirements
SSH is locally configured during HP SIM local installation on the CMS.
Custom tools on the Tools menu require SSH version 1.0 or later on the CMS to run properly. These
commands run on the CMS with environment variables set to the context of specific events or devices.
You can install and configure SSH version 1.0 or later on each of the managed systems and have HP SIM
exchange keys with the managed systems (through the mxagentconfig command or for Windows, through
the Install SSH task). If you do this, then the Command Line Tools option on the Tools menu works for
these managed systems. If you choose not to configure it to work with remote SSH clients, then these commands
fail. There is no other loss of functionality without SSH.
