HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Getting Started Guide

Or, from the Matrix OE user interface, select the managed systems, then from the Diagnose
menu, select Troubleshoot Matrix Operating Environment, then select Check
Managed Node Configuration.
4. If you are unable to resolve issues with one of your managed systems, you can install or copy
vseassist to the managed system and run it from the command line there. In the following
command, replace cms with the fully qualified domain name of the CMS:
vseassist -s -h cms
Options
If no options are specified, the command syntax is displayed and the command exits with return
code 3.
The vseassist command recognizes the following options. For each option, a mnemonic is
shown in parentheses to help you remember the option letter.
-a (All) Perform all checks:
1. Check the configuration of the CMS (as with the -c option).
2. Check the communication between the CMS and the specified
managed systems (as with the -l option). If no managed systems
are specified, then perform this check on all systems in the All
Matrix Resources collection.
3. Check the configuration of the specified managed systems (as
with the -r option). If no managed systems are specified, then
perform this check on all compatible systems in the All Matrix
Resources collection.
-c (CMS) Check the configuration of the CMS.
Note: For a Windows CMS, if IOAssist is installed, additional IOAssist
resource and CMS configuration checks will be launched.
-l (Link) From the CMS, check the communication between the CMS and
the managed systems specified by the -n and -g options. Some of
the problems detected with this option include expired licenses, no
open WBEM ports, and improperly configured SSH authentication.
These checks will verify that the CMS can communicate with the
managed systems in order to perform management functions.
This option requires one or more -n or -g options.
Note: On Windows and HP-UX CMS, vseassist will obtain the port
on which to attempt managed node communication from the file
globalsettings.props (see FILES section below). If no port
configuration is present, port 22 will be used.
-r (Remote) From the CMS, check the configuration of the HP-UX or
Windows managed systems specified by the -n and -g options
(vseassist does not provide configuration checks for Linux managed
systems). This option uses mxexec to copy the vseassist command
to the managed systems, where it is executed with the -s option.
In order for the -r option to succeed, the CMS must be able to
communicate with the managed systems (as checked by the -l option).
This option requires one or more -n or -g options.
-n nodename (Node) Specifies the name of a managed system using the node name
by which the system is known to the CMS (as reported by mxnode(1M)).
Multiple -n and -g options can be used to specify multiple systems.
Note: This command is only designed to diagnose problems with
systems that are part of the All Matrix Resources collection.
