DESCRIPTION
The vseassist command performs a number of checks to identify configuration problems in your
installation of HP Matrix Operating Environment. This command checks the software configuration
on the HP SIM Central Management Server (CMS), the communication between the CMS and
managed systems, and the configuration of the software on managed systems. A summary of results
is displayed and detailed results are written to a log file, along with recommendations for resolving
any problems found.
You can execute vseassist from the Matrix OE graphical user interface, from the command line
on the CMS, or from the command line on a managed system. HP recommends the following
diagnostic procedure:
1. If you have Administrator (root) access to the CMS, execute the following command from
the command line:
vseassist -a
This will check the configuration of the CMS, communication with all systems in the All
Matrix Resources collection, and the configuration on those systems. Refer to the summary
output and examine the log file for any problems. Follow the resolution steps in the log file to
fix any problems that were found.
Fix problems in the CMS configuration first. You can verify that you have fixed those problems
by executing the following command from the CMS command line:
vseassist -c
You can also run this command directly from the Matrix OE user interface. From the Diagnose
menu, select Troubleshoot Matrix Operating Environment, then select Check
CMS Configuration.
2. After you have resolved all problems with the CMS configuration, check to see if there are
any remaining communication issues with the managed systems. From the CMS command
line, specify the HP SIM nodenames or system collection names of your managed systems
using the following command:
vseassist -l { -n nodename | -g collectionname ...}
Or, from the Matrix OE user interface, select the managed systems, then from the Diagnose
menu, select Troubleshoot Matrix Operating Environment, then select Check
CMS to Managed Node Communication.
3. After you have resolved the communication issues between the CMS and your managed
systems, check the configuration on those systems. From the CMS command line, specify the
HP SIM nodenames or system collection names of your managed systems using the following
command:
vseassist -r { -n nodename | -g collectionname ...}
