Managed storage system
To view the latest information regarding Systems Insight Manager support for a particular storage
system, including Fibre Channel disk arrays, switches, tape libraries, or hosts (with Fibre Channel
host bus adapters), see the Systems Insight Manager 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 Systems Insight Manager 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
Systems Insight Manager 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.
Foreign language support
Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese are supported on all platforms as
listed in “System requirements” (page 5). French, German, Italian, Spanish are supported on
Windows systems only.
