System Insight Manager and OVMS

[Ravi_Shankar]

Do we need to enable SSH on OVMS to communicate with HP SIM server. Is SIM server is using SSH for communicating to the OVMS SIM Agent.

hi,

no it is not a requirement, snmp and https are used as a basic, so ports 161/162 (snmp) and 2301/2381 (http+https - auto redirection to https-2381 for any requests to http).

SSH seems to be mandatory...

hi,

that's the storage essentials guide - that was not the question, the insight management agents for openvms have been available for a while - since vms v7.3 i think - no ssh in the ip stack then ! those agents have now been updated for later versions of vms and now goes under the banner of system management homepage.

I think some people may be mixing up SSH and SSL. The current implementation of SIM/SMH requires SSL; I don't know of any version that ever needed SSH.

We enabled SSH on OpenVMS the OVMS has been discovered .Now OpenVMS host is communicating to the HP SE server.
