Sun solaris support

Kishore Gowda — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 15:24:25 GMT

Has anyone integrated SUN Solaris monitoring into HP SIM environment? We are monitoring all Wintel & HP-UX servers using SIM 5.0, but there is a need to monitor SUN servers as well. Given large co-existence of HP-UX and SUN servers, I am wondering if there are any workarounds to integrate SUN monitoring by HP SIM?

Thanks,
Kishore

You can monitor at a basic level and get some information from snmp.
I believe this can be further enhanced using wbem and I believe there is a whitepaper on that around somewhere. I couldn't get the Solaris boys here interested in following that up.

You will also need to add the appropriate categories into HPSIM using the Options -> Manage System Types. You'll need snmp installed and configured on the Solaris servers in order for this to work.

For some reason (maybe Sun's compatibility) we haven't had much luck talking to Sun's WBEM Services for Solaris on SPARC...

Hi,

I wanted to ask if anyone has any success since the last reply?

I just tried to integrate HP SIM onto our two solaris 10 11/06 DL385G2. We install it on all our windows and linux systems without any issues. However, am I correct in thinking that the coding for solaris has little development?

I can get it to install, but the only info I see is basic "system - system info" (hostname, o/s, ip addresses). No other useful details. Rather pointless imo. Better to install nagios.

Also, the same "settings - security - trusted management servers" certificate we use on our other systems fails to be recognised by the solaris HP SIM. Anyone knows why?

thanks for reading this.

Fin, the previous posts were regarding Solaris on SPARC, not Solaris on ProLiant. You should be using the HP-provided agents.

I have installed all that was asked, read the pdfs, but still cannot get the same level of detail as for the windows/linux installations. Do you have any suggestions?
