HPSMH Batch healtcheck

[ElleT]

Hi all, 

We are pushing the latest version of HPSMH to all of our servers - about 300. We are going to do it in batches of 30-40 servers at a time.

The instalation is being pushed to the servers by SCCM, so we need to make sure that the installation was successful.

Besides the SCCM compliant queries, which will tell us what's the version installed, we need to also make sure that the homepage is working properly and can load and display all the information.

is there a way to check this in a batch of 20-30 servers with a script?

What comes to my mind to check is:

Service HPSMH is running
Service SNMP is running

I need a way to check whether the website actually loads and displays the HP Version Control Repository Manager information for 30 servers at a time.

Any information would be useful.

thanks

   I know approximately nothing about it, but I thought that "SNMP" was
a protocol, not a service.  If you expect a SNMP _daemon_ to be running,
then I'd send it a request of some kind, and see if I got a response.

   You can use a program like Wget to talk to any Web server, including
the one used for HP SMH.  A command like one of the following might do
something useful:

      wget http://hostname:2301
      wget https://hostname:2381

   If by "the website" you mean the SMH server, then that may be
difficult or impossible with Wget.  I believe that HP SMH uses
JavaScript, and I believe that Wget can't deal with that.  So, it may be
easy to determine if an SMH server is running/runable on a target
system, but getting any actual information back from it may require a
full-function Web browser rather than a simpler program like Wget.
