README - HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3

-------------------------------------------------------------

If you are going to install HP SIM into a Named Instance of an SQL Database, then the Named Instance

must be configured with a unique port number.

When SQL Server is installed the first time, it installs the Default Instance, and is referred to by its name:

MSSQLSERVER. You can install a second copy of SQL Server and give it a unique name; this is a Named

Instance.

By default, SQL assigns the Port Number 1433 to the Default Instance, and any additional SQL Instances

installed are configured to assign themselves a Dynamic Port Number which will not conflict with the Default

Instance.

If you configure one or more Instances to use the same Port Number, then SQL will return the first instance

using that Port Number.

Linux System

If, as an administrator, you browse into a Linux CMS where the HP Insight Management Agents are installed

and a Security Alert dialog box appears when you click a Management Agent, then the Management

HTTP Server certificate has not been overwritten with the HP SIM certificate.

This occurs because OpenSSL is not configured correctly. On Linux, OpenSSL should be installed to the

/usr/bin/ directory. In HP-UX, OpenSSL should be installed in the /opt/apache/ssl/bin/ directory.

Install OpenSSL to the correct directory, then create a new HP SIM certificate to resolve this issue. See

Creating a Server Certificate in the Networking and Security chapter of the

HP Systems Insight Manager

-------------------------------------------------------------

HP SIM running on a Linux system might not receive HTTP Events from the HP Version Control Agent performing

an Install Software and Firmware task. Therefore, the task status remains at 0% for an extended period and

shows In Progress on the Task Results page.

Set up the Hosts file on the target system running the VCA to include the name and IP address of the Linux

CMS system. Edit the windows dir\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts file by adding the following

lines:

HP SIM system name

HP SIM system IP address

. For example:

License Manager

Collecting v0 keys from iLO targets is

not

supported.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The HP SIM license manager can be used to assign licenses to managed systems. Using this function to

assign a ProLiant iLO Advanced license to an iLO system does not work. The pop-up window implementing

the operation waits indefinitely with a message Connecting, please wait ....

-------------------------------------------------------------

When a subscription license for a particular product has expired, license manager's opening table will still

show that product has no system limit. The true disposition of licenses for the corresponding product can be

determined by opening Manage Licenses. If an expected subscription license is not listed, it has expired

and is no longer available.
