Insight Control VMM - Credentials for vCenter Settings

OhhBee-1 — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:44:46 GMT

Hi,

If HP SIM is restarted or it's server is booted, it seems that the HP VMM cCenter credentials is not saved and that i have to put them in manually every time. Is this the way it is or is their away around this?

Regards

Haven't seen that one before - if you are at 6.2u2 then it sounds like an issue for support. If not consider upgrading first.

I just updated. A restart of the HP SIM service does not lead to dropping of credentials. However, a restart of the Insight Virtual Machine Management service does. This is very ideal. Will try a support case for this. Thanks.

Not ideal.

what account is the VMM service running under? i.e. an administrator account on the SIM server?

almost sounds like it could be a file permissions problem, that the CMS isn't able to write to the props file and it is only caching the credentials while running.

"HP Insight Control Virtual Machine Management" service is running under an administrator account on the HP SIM server, same user that runs the HP SIM server. The user is local administrator on the server.

Does anyone know which props-file HP SIM would be trying to write to?
