Installing and configuring HP Integrity VM for HP Systems Insight Manager 5.x

Managing HPVM in HP SIM
Managing your Integrity Virtual Machines (VM) with HP System Insight Manager (HP SIM) requires
Virtual Server Environment (VSE) Management Software installed on the same server as HP SIM.
More information on VSE can be found at:
http://docs.hp.com/en/T2786-90012/T2786-90012.pdf
Installing HP SIM and VSE
Use the following procedure to install HP SIM and the VSE Management Software on an HP-UX CMS.
1. Install the software by executing the following command:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -x autoreboot=true \
-s path-to-depot-file HPSIM-HP-UX VSEMgmt
2. Configure HP SIM by executing the following command:
/opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig –a
This command performs HP SIM setup tasks, including database initialization. It typically takes several
minutes for the mxinitconfig command to complete. Errors and exceptions are logged to the file
/var/opt/mx/logs/initconfig.log.
Configure the VSE Management Software by executing the following command:
/opt/vse/bin/vseinitconfig –a
The vseinitconfig command logs status, errors, and exceptions to the file
/var/opt/vse/logs/vseinitconfig.log.
Configuring HP SIM for VSE
1. Ensure that the ssh command is installed and configured for HP SIM on each of your managed
systems. To configure ssh for HP SIM, select the systems to configure, and choose
Configure
Configure or Repair Agents... from the HP SIM menu bar.
2. Select the managed systems and choose Configure>Configure VSE Agents>Install VSE Agents...
from the HP SIM menu bar. Click
Run Now to start the installation. Review the output for error
messages before continuing.
3. Run the HP SIM discovery process again on the managed systems where agent software has been
installed. This will cause HP SIM to update its information about these systems. Select the affected
systems and choose
Options>Discovery... from the HP SIM menu bar, and then click Run Now.
The Virtual Host and the virtual machine can be managed with HP SIM, as shown in
Figure 3.
Note: VSE is not required for the Virtual Machine Host and Virtual Machines to be associated. Once
discovered and identified, the virtual machine associates itself to the host.
