Virtual machines
HP Insight Management WBEM Providers and SNMP agents must not be installed on a virtual
machine guest operating system. Installing the providers or agents on a guest operating system
causes HP SIM to have excessive timeouts when data is requested or WBEM Indication Subscriptions
are created.
The installer for HP Insight Management WBEM Providers 2.2.x and earlier does not prevent
installation on a guest operating system. The installer for version 2.3 and beyond automatically
prevents the installation of the providers on a guest operating system.
If the WBEM providers or SNMP agents have been installed on a guest operating system, uninstall
and re-identify the managed system in HP SIM.
VMware
The name of the temperature sensors might be incorrect. This is a known issue in the VMWare
provider and will be addressed in a future release of VMWare providers.
WBEM
WBEM is no longer supported on HP servers. The last servers to support WBEM were the G6
servers. Therefore, HP SIM will not identify the operating system details properly for RHEL 5.7 Xen
and KVM servers.
WBEM indications
Current P9500 embedded SMI-S does not support WBEM indications. WBEM indication will be
supported from V05 firmware version.
-------------------------------------------------------------
For a CVAE 7.2 server to receive WBEM indications from XP arrays in HP SIM 7.1, the below
configuration changes need to be performed on CVAE 7.2 server.
Procedure 48 Configuration for a CVAE 7.2 server to receive WBEM indications from XP arrays
1. Create the .ind.keystore file be executing:
keytool.exe -genkey -keystore .ind.keystore -storepass indssl
-validity 365 -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048
2. After importing HP SIM certificate in CVAE 7.2, the truststore file is creating as
indtruststore instead of .ind.truststore. You must rename indtruststore file
to .ind.truststore.
-------------------------------------------------------------
HP SIM doesn't support WBEM Indications on ESL G3 tape library with embedded SMI-S(without
CVTL)
WMI Mapper
If you have created subscriptions on a Windows managed system and then elect to change the
WMI Mapper proxy or install a WMI Mapper on the managed system, you must first unsubscribe
for WBEM events, change the proxy, re-identify the systems, and then resubscribe for WBEM
