HP-UX
HP-UX is a UNIX operation system, of which the performance and stability can greatly affect the
performance of applications or services running on it. Therefore, APM provides the ability to monitor
HP-UX.
APM can monitor the HP-UX 11.00 or latter version.
Configuring HP-UX monitor
APM can monitor HP-UX operation system using CLI mode. Before starting HP-UX monitor configuration
on APM, make sure that the following conditions are meet:
• The HP-UX operation system to be monitored starts up, and the Telnet/SSH is enabled. For more
information, see the HP-UX configuration guide.
• The host on which HP-UX resides has been added to the IMC base platform. For more information,
see HP Intelligent Management Center Base Platform Administrator Guide.
• Monitoring the HP-UX via CLI, APM obtains the Telnet/SSH user name and password of the HP-UX
host through the IMC PLAT. Therefore, you need to configure the correct Telnet/SSH user name and
password before monitoring the HP-UX system, and the Telnet/SSH user must have the
administrator authority of the host on which HP-UX resides.
