Ping
I am not able to ping discovered systems.
Solution: If you manage more than 1,000 systems in HP SIM, tune the kernel parameters by adding the
following entries to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 4096
net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 4096
After adding the entries, reboot the system.
Printing
When printing a container view page that includes a Rack Display, the display does not print correctly.
Solution: In Internet Explorer, select Tools→Internet Options, then select the Advanced tab. Select
Printing→Print background colors and images. The system Details page should now print the Rack
Display correctly, showing all details of the rack.
When trying to print In Internet Explorer, I am receiving a message, stating that my printer is not configured.
In Mozilla, the print dialog box appears to print to a file.
Solution: The printer must be installed before trying to print in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla.
When printing lists or reports in HP SIM, selecting Landscape as the paper orientation is not changing the
printout to landscape.
Solution: From Control Panel→Printers, set the orientation to Landscape.
Property pages
When I click the FC HBA link on the Property Pages Status tab, I receive an error message.
Solution: Even though FC control is not present on the system the FC HBA hot link might be displayed on the
Status tab. For an FC HBA, HP SIM cannot anticipate if there will be instances present and might display
this link. If there are instances present, the CIM Client connection might have timed out.
The following error messages can be received on the Property pages:
meaningerror message
The target system contains a WBEM installation (CIMOM) that is
a storage proxy CIMOM. There is not a WBEM CIMOM that
models the target system. Therefore, the Property pages do not
have an agent that collects system-specific information. Install a
server WBEM CIMOM to enable WBEM manageability for the
target system.
Property pages are unavailable because this
system acts as a WBEM storage proxy.
The Property pages are subject to the web server default time-out
(20 minutes). If the Property pages time out, this message
appears. Close the window, and relaunch the Property pages
against the target system.
Communication has been lost. Close the window
and relaunch Properties for this system.
