HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 Command Line Interface Guide

The mxgetdbinfo command displays information about the Systems Insight Manager database.
Without any parameters, the database port, database name, user ID, database type, path to
executables, and path to data appear. The following options are supported:
• The –a option displays the same output as if you did not provide an option.
• The –h option returns the host name of the server where the database is installed.
• The –p option returns the TCP/IP port number used to connect to the database.
• The –d option returns the name of the database used by Systems Insight Manager.
• The –u option returns the username or userID used by Systems Insight Manager to log into
the database.
• The –t option returns the database typeâSQLServer, PostgreSQL, or Oracle.
• The –r option (HP-UX only) returns the path to the postgreSQL data directory.
• The –b option (HP-UX only) returns the path to the postgreSQL program directory.
Systems Insight Manager settings
The mxglobalsettings command sets and displays global settings stored in the file /etc/
opt/mx/config/globalsettings.props on HP-UX and Linux, or in the Systems Insight
Manager installation directory under config\globalsettings.props on Windows. This file
is a text file that contains configuration data and their default values. To set or display global
settings, enter:
# mxglobalsettings –s [–f] setting=value â ¦ ; set value(s)
# mxglobalsettings –ld [setting â ¦] ; display value(s)
The –s option sets or creates entries in the globalsettings.props file. If setting exits in the
file, then it is changed to the specified value. If setting is not in the file, then mxglobalsettings
prompts for confirmation to create a new entry.
• If confirmed, the entry is created and sets the initial data to the value you specify in value.
• The –f option forces creation of the new entry, bypassing the confirmation process.
• The –ld option displays the settings and their current value in the name = value format. If one
or more setting names are provided, then only those settings are listed. Otherwise, all the
settings appear.
Systems Insight Manager server certificate
The mxcert command manages the server and trusted certificates in the Systems Insight Manager
key store.
To create a new server certificate, enter:
# mxcert –n CN=common_name ALT=alternative_name(s) OU=organization_unit
O=organization_name L=locality_name ST=state C=country_code
To import a signed server certificate, enter:
# mxcert –i –f filespec
Where filespec is the full path to the signed certificate file.
To import a trusted certificate, enter:
# mxcert –t –f filespec
To tell Systems Insight Manager to require or not require a trusted certificate, use the –b option.
For example:
# mxcert –b [1|3]
