HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 Installation Guide 413
To set all connections with HiCommand Device Manager to SSL:
1. Select Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health, and then click Advanced in the
Disk Space tree.
2. Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.
3. Copy the cimom.provider.hds.useSecureConnection property.
4. Return to the Advanced page.
5. Paste the copied text into the Custom Properties box.
6. Make your changes in the Custom Properties box. Make sure the property is not commented out
by removing the hash (#) symbol in front of the property.
7. Change the value assigned to the cimom.provider.hds.useSecureConnection
property to true, as shown in the following example:
cimom.provider.hds.useSecureConnection=true
8. When you are done, click Save.
If you want to connect to another instance of HiCommand Device Manager by using a
nonsecure connection, prepend http:// to the discovery address to force the connection to
nonsecure mode, for example, http://192.168.1.1, where 192.168.1.1 is the IP
address of the host running HiCommand Device Manager.
Unable to Discover a UNIX Host Because of DNS or Routing Issues
If the management server is unable to discover a UNIX host because of a DNS or routing issues,
you will need to increase the amount of time that passes before the management server times out
for that CIM extension. By default, the management server waits 1,000 ms before it times out. It is
recommended you increasing the time before the management server times out to 200000 ms
(3.33 minutes), as described in the following steps. If you continue to see time-out issues, you can
still increase the time before the management server times out, but keep in mind that it will lengthen
discovery.
To increase the time-out period:
1. Select Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health, and then click Advanced in the
Disk Space tree.
2. Paste the following text into the Custom Properties box.
cimom.cxws.agency.firstwait=200000
cimom.cxws.agency.timeout=200000
where
•
cimom.cxws.agency.firstwait - The firstwait property controls the amount of time
required for the management server to wait after it first contacts the CIM extension on the
host before the management server attempts to proceed with a username and password.
The default value is 1,000 ms. You are modifying it to wait 200,000 ms or 3.33 minutes.
•
cimom.cxws.agency.timeout - The timeout property controls the allowable interval of
silence before either the CIM extension or the management server starts to question whether
its partner is still alive. If one entity (management server or extension) does not receive a
message from the other during the interval set by the timeout property, it sends an “are you
there” message. If that message is not acknowledged during the interval set by the timeout
