HP Systems Insight Manager 7.1 Installation Guide for Linux

Linux VCRM is a non-interactive RPM. Instead of prompting for a user input, it only prints a message
instructing users on how to configure it.
To configure HP Linux VCRM, run the vcrepositoryconfig.sh script as a 'root' user. The script is
available at the location: /opt/hp/vcrepository/etc/. Run the script with —R or —r option to enable
the repository feature and set the repository folder.
NOTE: If the CMS is mapped to a linux VCRM, then you can deploy software and firmware tasks
only to a linux target system and not to a windows target system.
Next steps
Install and configure the required Insight Management Agent on the systems that will be managed
by the CMS. Next, complete the initial setup of HP SIM. Initial setup involves adding managed
systems, adding users, setting up authorizations, and configuring event handling. For more
information, see “Setting up managed systems” (page 32).
Start the HP SIM graphical user interface (GUI) using Firefox or Internet Explorer at
http://<IP_Address>:280/.
NOTE: The HP SIM Registration window and First Time Wizard appear when a user with full
configuration rights logs in to HP SIM for the first time. Follow the onscreen instructions to register
HP SIM or click the Register Later button to register at another time. If your HP SIM system is not
connected to the internet, you can use another system that has internet access and navigate to
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPSIM-LIC
to register and retrieve a code to confirm to the HP SIM application that it is registered and to
discontinue the registration prompt. The First Time Wizard configures only the basic settings of an
initial setup for HP SIM. Refer to the http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs for
more information.
