HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

On HP-UX 11i v2 (September 2004 or later) (B. 11 .23) WBEM is installed by default.
7. (Optional) Configure the CMS to send SNMP traps to itself.
a. Add the name of the CMS as a trapdest in the file /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf trap-dest:
<cms_full_hostname_or_ip_address>
b. Stop the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the following command:
/sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster stop
c. Restart the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the following command:
/usr/sbin/snmpd
Tuning HP SIM (Optional)
Using SAM or the HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool (kcweb) or kctune, complete the following optional manual
parameter adjustments, if needed.
▲ Set the dbc_max_pct kernel parameter. This is the percentage of physical memory that can be
dynamically allocated for the data buffer cache. It defaults to 50%, which is usually too high. Set this
variable to the percentage of your system physical memory that equals approximately 200 MB. For
example, a server with 1 GB of RAM should have this value set at 20%. Refer to the dbc_max_pct man
page for additional details in tuning this parameter.
NOTE: This value cannot be less than dbc_min_pct, which cannot be less than 1%. See the
dbc_max_pct man page for additional details.
NOTE: For HP-UX 11i v2 (September 2004 or later) (B. 11 .23), these parameters are dynamic, and
when you modify the parameters, a reboot of the system is not necessary.
NOTE: The kernel tunable parameter dbc_max_pct is obsolete for HP-UX 11i v3.
Next steps
Install and configure the required Management software on the systems that will be managed by the CMS.
See "Chapter 4 “Setting up managed systems ”" for more details. Next, complete the initial setup of HP
Systems Insight Manager which involves using the First Time Wizard to perform the initial configuration of
HP SIM Central Management Server as well as steps for setting up managed systems. See
"Chapter 5 “Configuring HP SIM using the First Time Wizard”" or "Chapter 6 “Configuring HP SIM using
the Options menu” for details. Configure the remaining protocols for the managed systems. See
"Chapter 7 “Configuring managed systems” for details.
HP SIM is now installed and initialized on the CMS. Start the HP SIM GUI using Firefox at
http://localhost:280/. Refer to Chapter 11 “Using the graphical user interface” for details.
NOTE: The HP Systems Insight Manager 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 go to a 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 HP Systems Insight
Manager 5.2 User Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/
infolibrary.html for more information.
NOTE: If installing ServiceGuard Manager for the first time, install ServiceGuard Manager 5.0. To download
ServiceGuard Manager 5.0, refer to
http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot, for more information.
When you install HP Serviceguard Manager, it recognizes HP SIM and automatically registers it for you.
