Repeating event log entries from SIM 5 Sp3

[Paul Headland_1]

Running System Insight Mgr 5 Sp3 on a Win2k3 Terminal Server & getting repeating event log entries showing MxDTF Restarting warning (ID:2) followed by Restart as Sucessful but this has the red cross & shows as an error (ID:1)

need some help on this one please as not sure where to start. SIM seems to be working ok otherwise.

Thanks

Try looking in the logs directory for HPSIM. But I suspect you may need to log a call on that one.

Thanks - did that & sure enough mxdtf logs appear at the same rate as the errors in the event log. The error log files all have these enties:

com.hp.mx.utilities.MxUndefinedPropertyException: Property "MxSshKeyPassword" is undefined.

Any suggestions as to a solution?

Thanks

did you ever get a response to this? I have the same problem.

Yes - i had not installed sshd. Advice from HP Support was to completely uninstall, reboot & reinstall with sshd option. Boring but it did solve my problem & has been ok since then,

Good luck
