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 on the Central Management Server to run properly. These
commands run on the Central Management Server with environment variables set to the context of specific
events or devices. SSH on the Central Management Server is also used by the Initial ProLiant Support
Pack Install on the Deploy→Deploy Drivers, Firmware and Agents menu.
You can install and configure SSH 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 OpenSSH
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. If SSH
is not configured on the client, then command line tools, any HP SIM plugins that require SSH, and Configure
or Repair Agents do not work properly.
PSP and SSH deployments occur in parallel and the number of nodes to which this happens in parallel is
controlled by
PSPandSSHParallelDeployments
in globalsettings.props.
If the credentials are incorrect for any node, then the deployment fails on all remaining nodes.
