HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 573)

•
The system is temporarily removed from the network. When it returns, the system returns to a managed
state. This situation can happen when a laptop computer is removed from the network for an extended
period and its previous address has been reused by DHCP.
•
The system could have changed names. However, this change was not discovered by HP SIM. HP SIM
continues to look for a system by that name.
Re-run discovery on the sub-net to resolve the above problems.
My SNMP parameters are not saved when I add a system with a host file. I created a file that did not exist
on the network. For example:
#$IMXE: Type="Server"
#$IMXE: SNMP_RET=4 SNMP_TIM=10 SNMP_MON=HP SNMP_CON=HP
1.1.1.1 myserver
How can I save the SNMP parameters?
Solution: This problem only exists when a system is not online yet. However, HP recommends the following
workaround:
#$IMXE_DEFAULT: Type = Server SNMP_RET=4 SNMP_TIM=10 SNMP_MON=HP SNMP_CON=HP
1.1.1.1 myserver
When the All Systems window sits idle for a few minutes and I launch a new browser window, the All Systems
window turns white and Internet Explorer hangs. I am forced to end the task. How can I avoid hanging up
in Internet Explorer?
Solution: For security reasons, always sign out of HP SIM before closing Internet Explorer. Signing out before
closing Internet Explorer resolves this issue.
When I use the command mxnode -r -f to delete systems, the container systems (for example, clusters,
enclosures, and racks) are not deleted.
Solution: Containers must be deleted individually.
How do I change a credential for a system that is currently using the global defaults?
Solution:
1. Run the mxnodesecurity command to change or add the credentials.
2. Run mxnode from the CLI to generate an XML file for a particular system and redirect the output to an
external file:
mxnode -lf nodename >somefilename.xml
where somefilename.xml is the name of the external file in which the output is directed.
The following is an example of a partial mxnode XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<node-list>
<node name="abc" guid="..." host-name="abc.mycompany.com">
<hw-attribute name="DeviceType">Workstation</hw-attribute>
<hw-attribute name="DeviceSubType">HP9000</hw-attribute>
<hw-attribute name="Model">9000/785</hw-attribute>
<hw-attribute name="ProcessorFamily">pa-risc</hw-attribute>
