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 web page 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 CMS to run properly. These commands run on
the CMS with environment variables set to the context of specific events or devices. SSH on the
CMS 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.
