HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide (Web Version) (TK981-96004, May 2014)
• The user account used when the host is registered has been created specifically for Host Data
Collector (recommended).
• When the OS of a normal host to be managed is AIX, the ODMDIR environment variable is set.
• Update permissions (rwx) are set for the /tmp directory.
• Settings have been specified in the PATH environment variable so that the sudo command can
be executed.
• Settings have been specified in the /etc/sudoers file so that the sudo command can be ex-
ecuted.
To ensure that the sudo command can be executed, add the following entry:
user-name-used-for-host-registration hosts-to-be-registered
=(execution-user-name-alias)NOPASSWD:/tmp/FsDataGatherLauncher.Unix.sh
For hosts-to-be-registered, specify the IP address, host name, or ALL.
For execution-user-name-alias, specify ALL, or root.
NOTE:
If a general user account is used to register a host into Device Manager, do not use the root account
to register the host a second time.
NOTE:
Do not use a name that contains a semicolon (;) for the following host items:
• If managing a Windows host:
- Network connection name
- Comment field for the shared disk
• If managing a UNIX host:
- Mount-destination directory name
- Disk group name (volume group name and disk set name)
- Logical volume name
- Network name
- Shared disk directory name
- Device name of the network drive (directory name of the shared disk that has been set up on
the reference destination host)
