HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

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.)
See the HP SIM SMI-S Provider webpage, http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers, to view the latest
information regarding HP SIM support for a particular device. This webpage offers information on obtaining,
installing, and configuring SMI-S providers.
Setting up managed systems using the HP SIM interface
The Managed System Setup Wizard and Configure or Repair Agents tools, enable you to configure your
managed systems by installing agents, applying licenses, and exectuting configuration steps. To run these
tools against multiple systems simultaneously, you must have authorizations to run the 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 Managed System Setup Wizard, select Configure→Managed System Setup Wizard.
For more information on these tools, see HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 User Guide at http://
h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html 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:
1. Verify that the applicable SMI-S provider is installed.
2. If the SMI-S provider is not installed, obtain and install it, according to the vendor installation instructions.
Verifying SSL
HP SIM requires that Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled for the SMI-S provider in order to discover and
manage the storage system that the provider supports. Verify that SSL is enabled for each SMI-S provider.
Configuring SMI-S providers
Occasionally, it might be necessary to modify an SMI-S provider port number or password. Use the provider’s
documentation to perform these modifications. For example, if two CIMOMs exist on the same host, you
must configure them to use different ports to communicate with the CMS.
