Diagnostic techniques
For diagnosing problems, the following tools may be helpful.
PuTTY (Telnet/SSH client)
This is a GUI-based application to issue Telnet, SSH, and other connection commands to a host server.
You can download PuTTY from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/.
Virtual Network Computing remote control software
VNC software enables you to remotely access the console of a UNIX server. VNC must be configured
on the host server before you can use it from a client. You can download VNC from
http://www.vnc.com/.
HP health monitoring utilities
The VTS server provides the following:
l HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM_6.2_575369_004.bin)
l HP Insight Diagnostics (hpdiags-8.7.0-26.linux.x86_64.rpm)
l HP System Health Application and Command Line Utilities (hp-health-8.7.0.22-11.rhel5.x86_
64.rpm)
l HP iLO Channel Interface Driver (hp-ilo-8.5.0-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm); note that this is not installed
on the VT5900-K
l HP System Management Homepage (hpsmh-6.3.0-22.x86_64.rpm)
l HP System Management Homepage Templates (hp-smh-templates-8.7.0.10-10.noarch.rpm)
l Insight Management Agents (SNMP) for HP ProLiant Systems (hp-snmp-agents-8.7.0.23-
17.rhel5.x86_64.rpm)
l HP Version Control Agent for Linux (hpvca-6.3.0-8.linux.rpm)
These utilities can be used for managing HP systems to maximize system uptime and health. The
agent package integrates with HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), Insight Manager Console, HP
Services Essential Remote Support Pack, and HP NonStop Cluster Essentials. It monitors all
serviceable system components (drives, fans, power supplies, and so on).
To use these utilities, you must configure them. Refer to
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for instructions.
The relevant links include “Install and configure”, “How to use”, “Advanced management features”,
and “Man pages”.
Note To monitor MSA2000 and P2000 storage arrays using HP SIM, you must install and configure
SIM on a system other than VTS.
Then, after installing HP SIM, SNMP must be enabled to use HP Insight Manager; SNMP is disabled by
default for security reasons. As the root user, enter this command:
chkconfig snmpd on
