Setting up Linux servers to be managed by Systems Insight Manager
To be fully managed by Systems Insight Manager, HP ProLiant servers running Linux should have the Insight
Management Agents installed. These agents are part of the ProLiant Support Pack. You can install the PSP
manually, or configure it to be installed as part of your normal operating system deployment procedures.
After setting up the management agents on the managed systems, the rest of the configuration can be done
from the Systems Insight Manager UI. Continue to Chapter 4
for further information.
Installing the ProLiant Support Pack on a Linux system for the first time
For Linux systems, use the Linux Deployment Utility to install the latest support pack with the preconfigured
components to the local system. For more information regarding installing a support pack using the Linux
Deployment Utility, see
.
Configuring agents remotely using Configure or Repair Agents:
1.
For Linux systems, select Install Linux PSP or ESX Agents.
2.
Click Next. The Step 3: Configure or Repair Agents page appears.
Manually setting up Linux managed systems
Although chapters 4-7 explain how to finish configuring managed systems from the HP SIM GUI, this section
describes how to perform some of these same steps from the command line for Linux systems. You do need
to first supply credentials and discover the systems, as described in chapters 4 and 6. Then you can do the
following actions from the command line, if desired.
Installing and configuring SSH
Procedure 3-5 Installing and configuring SSH on a Linux system
1.
Verify that SSH is installed on the managed system:
rpm -qa | grep ssh
If SSH is not installed, see your Linux provider for information about installing SSH.
2.
On the CMS, copy the SSH-generated public key from the CMS to the managed system, and place it
in the authorized keys file of the execute-as user (root or administrator).
IMPORTANT:
On a non-English CMS, ensure that an administrator account exists on the CMS, and
that mxagentconfig has run on the CMS for the created administrator account.
a.
Launch the Manage SSH Keys dialog box from the CMS command prompt:
mxagentconfig -a -n hostname -u username -p Password
b.
Click Connect.
Configuring a Linux system to send SNMP traps
NOTE:
These steps might vary slightly, depending on your version of Linux. See your Linux provider for
details if these file paths and file names do not exist on your system.
Procedure 3-6 Configuring a Linux system to send SNMP traps
1.
Verify that SNMP is installed:
rpm -qa | grep snmp
If it is not installed, see your Linux provider for information about installing SNMP.
2.
If the HP Server and Management Drivers and Agents daemons are installed on your system, stop them:
/etc/init.d/hpasm stop
3.
Stop the SNMP daemon:
/etc/init.d/snmpd stop
