subscribe to WBEM Events

[Walter Habichler]

Hi

Data collection for a Linux
System (Proliant,SLES9 SP3 + PSP7.50)failed
with error message :
An error occurred connecting to this system with the WBEM protocol. Check the system configuration.

seems to be a authorization problem with WBEM problem -

HPSIM Server is a Proliant running Windows 2003 SP1 and HPSIM Version 5.00.01.01 SP4

I tried to run "subscribe to WBEM Events", but failed also with :

There was a problem connecting to the HP Systems Insight Manager server. Make sure that:
1. Your username has been added to HP Systems Insight Manager.
2. Your username and password, if specified, are correctly spelled.
3. HP Systems Insight Manager is running.
4. You used ´--´ for any long options and double quotes if your username includes a domain.
Example: --user "mydomain\myusername" --pass mypassword


then I tried to run "mxwbemsub -a -n on cmd line and got error :
Host URL to connect to is = https://:5989/cimom

Note: Although this does not mean this command failed, we could not create subscription for destination=floxp3 in nameSpace=root/cimv2

Indication subscription successfully created.

"Create handler instance failed: CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND(CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND: The requested object could not be found)

further I looked on the linux client system to verfiy "cimserver" config -
there are 2 scripts in /etc/init.d which both
are able to startup "cimserver"
"owcimomd" and "pegasus-wbem" ;

which one has to be used?

after Installing PSP750, just "owcimomd" startup autom. when System reboot;

but there is no "cimserver" process running on the System nor does "cimprovider" show up any active "provider" on the linux client system

any Idea whats going wrong?

regards

At this time, WBEM subscription is only for HP-UX. Additionally, there is no ProLiant-specific data in the OpenPegasus CIMOM, so there isn't any meaningful event data you can get anyway.

Hello Walter,

To receive WBEM related notification from Linux Node, the following steps needs to be performed .

1) Install the OpenPegasus Wbem implementation with SSL enabled option.
2) Create indication provider .
3) Register the MOF files in the cimserver of WBEM(Which gets installed with OpenPegasus Wbem installation ).
4) Follow the steps provided in the below URL to create a subscription from HP SIM
"http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/HPSIM_SshWbemSubscriptions.html".

Hope this helps. I am able to get the sample event notifcation in HP SIM from linux node.

Cheers
