SSSU questions

[JL Billman]

Hi ya'll. I am trying to fidn a way to manage EVA's attached to HP-UX boxes. I understand that the management of the EVA is done from a Proliant DL380 server attached to the array. Now comes the problem. We need a way to be able to manage the array from the HP-UX boxes. The problem is we need to go through a VPN to manage the 9000's and the EVA's. We can telnet to the 9000's and I have placed SSSU on one of the them but I can't get it to communicate with the EVA manager. I get connection refused messages in SSSU.

My guess is something is not configured on the manager to allow remote management. The EVA's were setup and installed by HP so we have little documentation on what they did. Any idea what I need to do to the Windows based manager to beat it into submission?

[Ivan Ferreira]

Managing EVA using SSSU is not a simple task. I suggest you to create a remote desktop session to the Command View server or use something like VNC. For example see:

Unfortunately we can only access the 9000's by telnet and it takes multiple hops to get to the machine. The VPN and/or firewall do not let anything except ftp and telnet through.

What, if any, errors are you getting?

ALso, do yo uhave corrosponding versions of CV and SSSU?

If you have CV 5, you should probably use SSSU 5.x, have CV 6 then you should use SSSU 6.x, etc.

SSSU and CV are both version 6.0.

Here is a postion of the SSSU error log:

Hi Billman,

I am suspecting something on password you use. Remeber that for CV6 it uses the Windows logon authentications. I believe you must use the same login/password which is tested to login to the command-view-eva.

In past SMAs used to use different username/password (default was administrator/administrator) but with new Command-view-eva it's different.

Also, check if with the network admin if port 2372 (used for SSSU to CV communication) is not blocked in your network, or a firewall setting on CV box which blocks access to this port.

My 2 cents worth.

[Steven Clementi]

Looks like an authentication problem...


I take it 10.162.7.19 is the IP address of your CV server?

Confirm that administrator is in the "HP Storage Admins" local group on the CV server.

I am using the ip userid and password I was given by HP when they set up the systems. I am pretty sure abotu the ip address. I will be going on site next week but I cannot get into the system until then since I have no way to get to the network other htan multi-hops of telnet sessions.
