README - HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 with Update 1
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you receive a Page Not Found browser error when launching PMP tools from within HP SIM, the CMS
name link might not have resolved correctly on the network. Note the name being used in the browser
window, and verify that the name resolves on the network and that it is not being affected by any proxy
settings in the browser.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When you try to browse to the System Management Homepage (SMH) on the same Linux system that HP
SIM is installed, you might receive multiple browser warning messages.
1. Open a terminal window.
2. At the command prompt, enter:
cp /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/* /opt/hp/sslshare
3. Press the Enter key.
4. At the command prompt, enter:
service hpsmhd restart
5. Press the Enter key.

Resource-intensive applications such as the HP Performance Management Pack have sometimes encountered
problems working with large numbers of systems. In an effort to improve the stability of the CMS, HP SIM
now imposes a limit of 2000 systems on the information that is provided to these applications. This limit can
be changed, if necessary, by adding a new property named
MaxNodesViaSOAP
to
globalsettings.props and setting it to the desired number of systems. Setting
MaxNodesViaSOAP
to
a negative number disables the limit checking.

When you cannot access HP SIM on a Windows system using a full DNS host name, your Windows DNS
configuration is not set properly. There are several reasons for this:
• The TCP/IP Settings for your Network Connection are not configured properly. HP recommends the
following workaround:
1. On the CMS, open the Control Panel, and select Network Connections→Local Area Connection
Settings→Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)→Properties→Advanced.
2. Select the DNS tab.
3. Be sure that DNS suffix for this connection contains the full DNS suffix for the system.
4. Be sure both the Register this connection's address in DNS and the Use this connection's
DNS suffix in DNS registration checkboxes are selected.
• The System name for the CMS is not configured properly. HP recommends the following workaround:
1. On the CMS, open the Control Panel and select System.
2. Click Network Identification.
3. Click Properties or Change next to the Rename this computer or Join a domain field.
4. In the dialog box, click More.
5. Be sure the primary DNS suffix is set correctly. If not, set it, and click OK until all dialog boxes are
closed.
• The proxy settings on the client browser is configured to proxy local systems. HP recommends the
following workaround:
1. In Internet Explorer, select Tools→Internet Options→Connections→LAN Settings and then
select Use a proxy server for your LAN.
2. Click Advanced.
