SIM 5.5 and CVXPAE 5.6 - integration

[Dwyane Everts_1]

All,

When I was using CVXP, the integration with SIM was easy to configure. CVXP uses the standard http port 80. However, we had to upgrade to CVXPAE, and it uses non-standard ports 23015 and 23016. Now I can't get the integration to work at all.

Any ideas how to correct this?

sorry for the typo...

You can add the additional ports for discovery to the additionalwsdisc.props file.

David,

I appreciate your response. I've found that SIM and CVXPAE are trying to use 5989 (default), but I'm getting denied access for an unknown reason.

Any troubleshooting tips are very welcome.

5989 is the standard port for WBEM and SMI-S. HP SIM uses both of those and presumably CommandView XP uses SMI-S. Are you trying to get the two product to co-exist on the same unit?

[Dwyane Everts_1]

No co-existing...I'm just trying to get these products to talk. Using the "wbemdisco" command, I get a denial message from CVXPAE.

What's the exact message you are getting from 'wbemdisco' and see what happens (and the output) from using 'wbemauthcheck.cmd' as well...

[Dwyane Everts_1]

wbemdisco:

C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager>wbemdisco amtirexp1.atd-us.icd 5989
root/hitachi/dm56 system manager

C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager>echo Tue 04/17/2007 15:42:41.98

lib/wbemutil.jar -mx400m -ms400m WbemAuthorizationCheck

I've never used the second command, so I don't know if I did it correctly.

The wwebmdisc command indicates the SMI-S account / password is wrong. Note the account password to use is the wbem one, it's not a local or domain account.
I'm not too sure what the acc /pwd defaults is for CV XP, for CV EVA it's administrator / administrator
And yes, not too sure what's happened but wbemauthcheck.cmd seems to have got broken. It fails here with the same error and I have used it successfully in the past. Possibly an issue with changes in HPSIM 5.1

[Dwyane Everts_1]

Rob,

Based on the readings and troubleshooting tips that I found, I don't disagree with you. The default CVXP account is also "Administrator/Administrator." The CVXPAE account is "system/manager."

I have tried the following accounts:
system/manager
Administrator/Administrator
Administrator/administrator
administrator/administrator

Nothing seems to work. Could the wbemauthcheck problem be a symptom or even the cause, of problem?

The wbemauthcheck problem seems to be related to a missing environment variable or the code is missing some quotes somewhere.
