NonStop Software Essentials Installation and Quick Start Guide

1. Abort the NonStop Software Essentials process, as follows:
SCF ABORT PROCESS $ZZKRN.NSE-HTTP
2. Define the protocol file that you want the NonStop Software Essentials generic process to use:
SCF ADD PROCESS $ZZKRN.#NSE-HTTP , &
( DEFINE =TCPIP^PROTOCOL^FILE, CLASS MAP, FILE &
<location of the PROTOCOL file>)
For example:
SCF ADD PROCESS $ZZKRN.#NSE-HTTP , &
( DEFINE =TCPIP^PROTOCOL^FILE, CLASS MAP, FILE &
$SYSTEM.MYSUBVOL.PROTOCOL)
3. Start the NonStop Software Essentials process, as follows:
SCF START PROCESS $ZZKRN.NSE-HTTP
Registering for WBEM Alerts and Lifecycle Events
NonStop systems should be registered to receive both WBEM alerts and lifecycle events.
• Registering for WBEM alerts causes OSM alarms to be displayed in HP SIM.
• Registering for WBEM lifecycle events (or health indications) causes OSM system status to be
displayed within HP SIM in real time. The icon displayed in the HS column of HP SIM will
reflect the current status of the system, as retrieved from OSM.
NOTE: This needs to be done once for each NonStop system when using HP Insight Remote
Support Advanced and/or most Nonstop Essentials products – it is done automatically for NonStop
Cluster Essentials. So, if you have already installed NonStop Cluster Essentials or performed these
steps while configuring the system for one of those other products, you do not need to repeat them
as part of NonStop Software Essentials configuration.
Registering for WBEM Alerts
If not already done, perform one of the following to register a NonStop system to receive WBEM
alerts:
• After “Discovering the NonStop System in HP SIM” (page 19), select Subscribe for WBEM
events from the Options/Events menu in HP SIM.
• There is a Global Credential setting that can be set to automatically subscribe for WBEM
events upon system discovery. This option would be useful if you are managing only NonStop
systems from the CMS, as HP SIM will try all Global Credentials during discovery and will
start using WBEM to receive alerts from OSM automatically, provided the credentials match.
Registering for WBEM Lifecycle Events
If not already done, after system discovery, perform the following command (at a command prompt)
to register a NonStop system to receive WBEM lifecycle events:
mxwbemsub –a –n <system_name_address> -t health
<system_name_address>
is either the DNS name or the IP address of the NonStop system.
Starting the NonStop Software Essentials Process
Starting the NonStop Software Essentials process on the NonStop server to be used as host – If a
system load was not done after the initial installation, perform the following command to start the
NonStop Software Essentials process:
SCF START PROCESS $ZZKRN.NSE-HTTP
