Managed Environment
When you set the Ignite server on the Managed Environment page and then access the page
again, you cannot change and save the address again.
Solution: To bypass this problem, modify the Ignite tools from the CLI using the tools' original tdefs,
as follows:
Procedure B-16 Issue with changing and saving the address of an Ignite server
1. From the CLI, go to the Tools directory under the HP SIM install directory on Windows and
under /var/opt/mx/tools on Linux and HP-UX.
2. Run mxtool -mf <tool XML> -x force' where <tool XML> for each TDef is as follows:
iux_tools.xml
swm-msa-tools.xml
swm-ssa-tools-up.xml
swm-ssa-tools.xml
hpux\iux_tools.xml
hpux\swm-msa-tools.xml
HP MIBs
The LinkUp and LinkDown traps in IF-MIB.mib are redundant traps; these are also present in
rfc1215.mib. As per the current framework, the redundant traps are not allowed in HP SIM
Traps with same name.
Change the loading of MIBs. The IF-MIB.mib is loaded first and then the RFC1215.mib. The
IF-MIB.mib will be listed in mibcore.list and RFC1215 in preload.list. By doing this
the LinkUp and linkDown traps from IF-MIB.mib will only be registered with HP SIM. The RFC1215
file will only show four traps Cold Start, Warm Start, Authentication Failure, egp....
-------------------------------------------------------------
Do not rename, move, or delete MIB files from the MIBs directory after they are registered.
Solution: For a MIB file to be listed as registered, the MIB file must reside in the MIBs directory.
Onboard Administrator
When an Onboard Administrator system is deleted, health status of the bare metal server systems
remain stale. ProLiant OA must be rediscovered to obtain updated health status of the bare metal
server systems.
OpenSSH
OpenSSH installation fails on a Windows XP SP3 system.
Solution: Verify that the Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts
under Local Policies→Security Options is set to Classic - local users are authenticate as
themselves.
Performance
When running HP SIM in an environment that contains a large number of ProLiant systems running
the WMI-based Insight Agents, the completed job output in Tasks & Logs→View Task Results
might exceed several thousand files.
Solution: This can result in HP SIM consuming large amounts of memory, task page interface
slowdown, or out of memory errors.
If this behavior is noted, the following workaround can be implemented to alleviate the consumption
of memory and disk space. The workaround adjusts the retention values for completed tasks and
can be altered as desired to reduce resource consumption.
