HP SIM on Linux + Version Control Agent

Roman Lazarev — Tue, 27 Jul 2004 15:48:33 GMT

Hi All,

I'm having a hell of a time connecting HP SIM (running on Linux) to an hpvca agent running on linux (hpvca-2.0.1-18). I'm getting persistent message that VCA isn't installed. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am having the same problem. You have to make sure the web agent (cmawebd) is running so the VCA can authenticate. A prerequisite is 'compat-stdlibc++', but I cannot get the web agent to use it. My Linux server is RH7.3.

I got over my problem. First get hpasm711, and hprsm711, they just released it.
Just define LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/hp/vcagent/lib and then you can run vcasetup which will invoke hpwebsetup, just make sure you get rid of /var/spool/compaq/wbem: CPQHMMD.ACL cpqhmmd.ini, cpqhmmdx.ini. Your certificate will need to go into /var/spool/compaq/wbem/certs: hostname.domain.pem

Also make sure that Options->Security->System Link Configuration is set to what you're using in your cert.

Yes it's a pain in the butt, but once you set it up, you'll know how to replicate... speaking of replicate, once you configure one system you can replicate all settings with Configure->Replicate Agent Settings

Good luck!
