SMH of ESX 3.5 host doesnt start from HPSIM

Alexey Sobolev — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 07:12:10 GMT

I cant launch SMH from HPSIM menue on several ESX 3.5 hosts. All servers are different Proliant DL and BL servers and got hpmgmt-8.0.0-vmware3x.tgz installed. Anyway if i try to launch SMH typing directly address in browser window then it works.

Check with 'Identify Systems' if the SMH is recognized. Most probably you haven't have the correct firewall rules on your ESX open.

You need to open up following ports:

280 cert (tcp)
2301 smh-http (tcp)
2381 smh-https (tcp)

You can do the 'Identify Systems' check again after you changed the firewall rules.

Following ports are open
smh-http : port 2301 tcp.in
smh-https : port 2381 tcp.in
sim-cert : port 280 tcp.out
first one i added myself, 2 and 3 was added during SMH install process (i just rename it as you do).
But still got massage doing "identify"
"The System Management Homepage is not supported on this system"

the installer says it will open ports, but it does not do it. It only open 2381 thus identify does not work correctly.
