HP Insight Dynamics 6.0 software without OpenSSH on HP ProLiant and Integrity Servers Running Microsoft® Windows®

Introduction

The HP Insight Dynamics software product includes several features which depend on OpenSSH

being installed on HP ProLiant and Integrity managed servers running Microsoft® Windows®.

However, some environments are not using OpenSSH and prefer to avoid installing OpenSSH on all

managed systems. For those environments, HP Insight Dynamics is supported. However, some features of

the solution relating to the installation of agents, troubleshooting and partition management will not be

fully functional without OpenSSH.

Agent installation

HP Insight Dynamics software provides a tool for configuring managed systems and deploying agents on

managed systems which rely upon OpenSSH being installed and configured on HP Integrity servers

running Microsoft® Windows®. The tool is found under the HP Systems Insight Manager menu

Configure -> Managed System Setup Wizard...

For environments where OpenSSH is not

installed, the HP Insight Dynamics agents can be manually installed by following these steps:

1. Manually copy one or more of the following files contained in

<VSE Install dir>\depot (Default install directory is

C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\) on the central

management server to a temporary location on the managed system such as C:\temp.

For HP Integrity servers, copy the following files

WMIUtilProvider64.msi

For HP Integrity nPartition servers, copy the following files

WMIUtilProvider64.msi

WMINParProvider64.msi

For HP Integrity virtual machine Guests running Microsoft® Windows®, copy the following files

WMIUtilProvider64.msi

WMIHpvmProvider64.msi

You can optionally copy WMIMapper64.msi as needed.

2. On the managed system, execute the copied file or files. No reboot is required for the

installations.
