HP Systems Insight Manager 7.1 Installation Guide for HP-UX

3. Acquire and install the managed system software if not previously installed.
The SecureShell, WBEM bundles are included on the HP-UX Operating Environment and
Application Release media, as well as part of the HP SIM HP-UX depot downloaded from
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/dl_hpux.html.
For the WBEM providers, see http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/
hpsim/dl_hpux.html .
After the depots containing the software have been acquired, they can be installed from the
managed system using commands such as:
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> OpenSSL
NOTE: HP WBEM Services depends on OpenSSL, so this must be installed first.
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> T1471AA
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> B8465BA
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> <names of WBEM providers being
installed>
Setting up managed storage systems
Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) is a Storage Networking Industry Association
(SNIA) standard that enables interoperable management for storage networks and storage devices.
HP SIM uses this standard to discover and manage the storage systems it supports.
You must have a storage system's WBEM SMI-S provider installed and configured for HP SIM to
discover it. This includes storage devices such as Fibre Channel disk arrays, switches, tape libraries,
or hosts (with Fibre Channel host bus adapters.)
To view the latest information regarding HP SIM support for a particular device, see the HP SIM
SMI-S Provider webpage, http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers. This webpage offers
information on obtaining, installing, and configuring SMI-S providers.
Setting up managed systems using the HP SIM interface
The Insight managed system setup wizard and Configure or Repair Agents tools, enable you to
configure your managed systems by installing agents, applying licenses, and executing configuration
steps. To run these tools against multiple systems simultaneously, you must have authorizations to
run the Insight managed system setup wizard and Configure or Repair Agents tools. You must have
full CMS configuration privileges to modify the HP SIM community strings in the node security file.
In addition, you must enter root or administrator level user credentials for the target system.
• To run Configure or Repair Agents, select Configure→Configure or Repair Agents.
• To run the Insight managed system setup wizard, select Configure→Managed System Setup
Wizard.
For more information on these tools, see http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs
and the HP SIM help system.
Installing SMI-S providers
Each storage vendor provides the SMI-S provider and installation instructions for its storage system.
The webpage referenced in the previous section provides information on obtaining SMI-S providers.
Also, consult the storage vendor website or representative for more information regarding their
SMI-S providers. For each storage system:
