Check CMS to managed node communication
This task checks the communication between the CMS and selected managed systems. When
troubleshooting your Matrix OE configuration, perform the “Check CMS configuration” (page 39)
task first, to make sure that you do not have any unresolved CMS configuration issues. Then use
this task to resolve communication issues with managed systems where you are having problems.
Some of the problems detected with this option include expired licenses, no open WBEM ports,
and improperly configured SSH authentication. These checks will verify whether the CMS can
communicate with the managed systems in order to perform management functions.
Procedure 10 Check the communication between the CMS and managed systems
1. Optional: Select the managed systems where you are having problems. You can select systems
by checking the selection box next to each system name in the Matrix OE visualization view.
If you prefer, you can start this task with no systems selected. In that case, you are prompted
to select the systems from the available HP SIM system collections after the next step below.
2. Select Diagnose→Troubleshoot Matrix Operating Environment→Check CMS to Managed Node
Communication... from the top menu bar.
3. Optional: If no systems have been selected yet, you are prompted to select from the available
HP SIM system collections. If you have already selected systems, then those systems are
displayed in the Verify targets screen. Systems Insight Manager provides several options for
adding or removing systems on this screen. For help, select Help→For HP Systems Insight
Manager from the top menu bar, then select the “Operations” topic and the “Managing with
tasks” subtopic.
4. To schedule this task to run periodically or at a set time, click Schedule. The Schedule Task
screen is displayed. Help on scheduling options is available from that screen. After the task
executes, you can view the results by selecting Tasks & Logs→View Task Results... from the
top menu bar.
To run this task immediately, click Run Now. This executes the vseassist command on the
CMS and displays the results in the Stdout tab.
