EVA4K in HP SIM v5 SP5

[S-tog a s]

Hi Forum,

I'd like to see our EVA4K in HP SIM v5 SP5.
The Appliance is running a std. Win2K3 latest eva command view. The appliance Win2K3 appliance boks er added to the 2003 domain.

Is it correct that I need the following to get things to work:

-WEBEM UID and PWD

- "Pegasus CIM Object Manager Service" running on the appliance box

- a XML file need to be placed on the appliance box...but where?

- port 5989 working...how do I verify this?

anything else!?!

best reg,

What version of CV EVA?
CV EVA 5 comes with SMI-S, you need that installed. Aspat of that install you provide a password for the WBEM Administrator account.

You'll need those details added to the WBEM settings for the server running CV EVA.

Once done do a Discovery of the server running CV EVA. That "should" pick up the EVA.

There's a couple of test scripts you can run from the hpsim server;
From the HPSIM directory;
Wbemdisco cv-eva-server 5989 root/pg_interop administrator password
Should test the wbem access tothe device.

The command
wbemauthcheck cv-eva-server 5989 root/pg_interop administrator password v 5
will just test connectivity.

The XML file you need to check is;
C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config\identification\wbemportlist.xml,
The line name="root/pg_interop" needs to be the first entry.
I think it's only in older versions of HPSIM that this is an issue.

Hi Rob,

I've tried both commands and the connectivity check seems to work fine. But the discovery command fail...any suggestions!?!

NB. I've chanced the "UID" "PWD"

That's the same error I'm wrestling with at the moment.
I've uninstalled / reinstalled CV EVA on this server a few times and thought it might be something in the registry or elsewhere that's got corrupted. As we're getting a new management server, I was going to wait until then and try a fresh install

It might be worth raising a call with HP.

What is the version of firmware on the EVA4K?

[Rob Buxton]

Claus,
Could you let me know if you're seeing the following as I've opend a call with HP and if your symptoms are the same we may be able to narrow things down a bit.

Could you check the Event Log on the CV EVA Server? You might find the CIM Object Manager (CIMOM) service is stopping repeatedly, it's set to automatically restart.

Also check the log;
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\pegasus_home\logs\PegasusStandard.log and see if there's something like;

Hi Rob,

I've reinstalled the appliance box cos I wanted to make it a part of the domain anyways...this is the readout now:

Claus,
How much of a reinstall was that?
A complete rebuild of the OS or just a reinstall of the CV EVA stuff?

I've ordered a new server for CV EVA and a couple of other management apps. I'm hoping a new build will resolve the issue.

It would be nice to know the cause though as there's the possibility it could return.

Hi Rob,

complete reinstall OS included.
