Managed storage system
To view the latest information regarding Systems Insight Manager support for a particular storage system,
including Fibre Channel disk arrays, switches, tape libraries, or hosts (with Fibre Channel host bus adapters),
see the Systems Insight Manager SMI-S Provider web page at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers.
This webpage also offers information on obtaining and installing SMI-S providers.
SSH requirements
SSH is locally configured during Systems Insight Manager local installation on the CMS.
Custom tools on the Tools menu require SSH on the CMS to run properly. These commands run on the
CMS with environment variables set to the context of specific events or devices. SSH on the CMS is also
used by the Initial ProLiant Support Pac k Install on the Deploy→Deploy Drivers, Firmware and Agents
menu.
You can install and configure SSH on each of the managed systems and have Systems Insight Manager
exchange keys with the managed systems (through the mxagentconfig command or for Windows, through
the Install OpenSSH task). If you do this, then the Command Line Tools option on the Tools menu works
for these managed systems. If you choose not to configure it to work with remote SSH clients, then these
commands fail. If SSH is not configured on the client, then command line tools, any Systems Insight Manager
plugins that require SSH, and Configure or Repair Agents do not work properly.
PSP and SSH deployments occur in parallel and the number of nodes to which this happens in parallel is
controlled by PSPandSSHParallelDeployments in globalsettings.props.
If the credentials are incorrect for any node, then the deployment fails on all remaining nodes.
Foreign language support
Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese are supported on all platforms as listed in
“System requirements”. French, German, Italian, Spanish are supported on Windows systems only.
