HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

The VARBINDSEVERITY is a pointer that points to a varbind, which contains a severity. Varbinds start at
the count of 1 and in the example below, sanEventSeverity is the third varbind as pointed to by
--#VARBINDSEVERITY 3. The severity for the varbind must be defined as an enumeration.
The SEVERITYMAP is a mapping of agent severity to the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) supported
severity. HP SIM only supports CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR, WARNING, and INFORMATIONAL. Therefore,
all mappings must resolve to one of these severities. In the example above, you can see a mapping of Fatal
to CRITICAL ("Fatal = CRITICAL"). When we receive in the varbind Fatal, it is translated to the HP SIM severity
of Critical. The varbind value and therefore, the severity, might be varied by the agent as conditions change,
so when a trap is received in HP SIM, the severity displayed is set by the agent when a trap was sent.

Installing OpenSSH
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) custom tools and command line tools require that Secure Shell (SSH)
be installed and configured on each of the managed systems to work properly. See Secure Shell (SSH) in
HP SIM 5.x white paper at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/
infolibrary.html for more detailed information on SSH and the features in HP SIM that use SSH.
The OpenSSH install is run from the Central Management Server (CMS) and installs the OpenSSH service
on to target Windows systems and then runs the mxagentconfig command to complete the configuration.
NOTE: To be sure that the install OpenSSH task runs successfully, sign-in as a user with administrative
rights . If you are signed-in as another user, be sure the user name does not contain any non-ASCII characters.
NOTE: You can easily install OpenSSH on Windows managed systems using the Configure or Repair
Agents feature. See “Windows CMS” for more information.
To install OpenSSH through the OpenSSH Install option:
1. Select Deploy→Deploy Drivers, Firmware and Agents→Install OpenSSH. The Install OpenSSH
page appears.
2. Select the target systems. See “Creating a task” for more information about selecting target systems.
3. Click Next.
4. From the Enter credentials for an administrator account on the target system(s): section:
a. In the User name field, enter the Windows administrator user name.
b. In the Password field, enter the administrator password for the Windows user name entered in
the previous step.
c. In the Password (Verify) field, re-enter the Windows administrator password exactly as it was
entered in the Password field.
d. In the Domain field, enter the Windows domain.
Note: Leave Domain field blank if the administrator account on the target systems is a local account.
5. Click Schedule to schedule the install, or click Run Now to run the installation immediately. See
“Scheduling a task” for more information about scheduling the installation.
If you clicked Run Now, the Tasks Results page appears. See “Viewing task results” for more
information about the Task Results page.
