Problem running tools on HPUX client.

[Neville Lawrence]

Hi,

I am having trouble configuring hp-ux clients on the SIM CMS. I have installed SSH, OpenSSL and WBEMServices on the clients. I then go into “Configure->Configure or Repair Agents” on the SIM and configure WBEM, SNMP, SSH and Set Trust by Certificate. This all appears to work, however when I go into “Manage Communications” it shows that I have successfully identified the client, the HP SIM can receive events, but I cannot run tools. Despite the fact it says we can receive events, I send a test event but we don’t receive it. I have also run “Identify System” and it outputs the following:

Starting identification process...
Checking for known running web servers.
Checking for System Management Home Page and other HP web agents.
Received a response from the system management homepage, this system supports SM

Building system relationships.
Running limited data collection for common attribute.
The SSH is not configured on this system
SMH trust status is false.
Running node communication diagnosis
System identification done with this system.

The odd thing is it states in the above that it has passed the SSH authentication, but then 4 lines from the bottom it states that SSH is not configured, this is despite the fact the SSH appears to be working on the remote client. Is there anything else I need to do on the CMS to get this working?

The client is an RX2660 running 11.31 and the CMS is running under Windows.

Do the necessary subscribtion entries exist on the HP-UX system? (evweb subscribe -b external -L)

Neville,

In addition to checking for the external Alert Indication subscriptions (actually you should do this before checking) open SEA and check if WEBES lacks information about the HP-UX endpoint. If information is missing WEBES highlights the HP-UX host name in orange. Also any missing data on the managed entity page will likewise be highlighted in orange. Fix any missing data by entering it to the HP-UX endpoint's HP SIM system properties page.

If the subscription required for Remote Device Monitoring (RDM) does not show up re-start the DESTA service on the CMS. If that fails restart the CIM-server on HP-UX endpoint with the following:

ps -ef | grep -i cimserver (to see if it is running)
cimserver -s (to stop)
cimserver (to start)

All of the above steps generally fix the failure to receive test events problem. Just perform them in order and check after each step to see if the subscription appears.

Take care,
frank

Hi,

Forgive my ignorance, but what is SEA?

Thanks

Neville,

Neville,

Sorry for using an undefined acronym! SEA is the System Event Analyzer in essence it is the WEBES browser interface, which is installed on the Central Management Server (CMS) when you install Insight Remote Support Advanced (RSA). You access it by following this path: Start > All Programs > Hewlett-Packard Service Tools > System Event Analyzer > System Event Analyzer. You can use the CMS Administrator credentials to log in to SEA.

Take care,
Frank
