Manually setting up an HP-UX managed system

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 HP-UX
systems. You do need to first supply credentials and discover the systems, as described in Chapter
4

“Credentials” (page 36)

and Chapter 6

“Discovery” (page 39)

. Then you can do the following

actions from the command line, if desired.

You can use the HP SIM Configure or Repair Agents tool to configure HP-UX managed systems
simultaneously, or you can configure each managed system manually.

Configuring SNMP to send traps to the CMS

•

On the managed system, add the full host name or IP address of the CMS as a trapdest in
the following file:

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf

trap-dest: hostname_or_ip_address

•

Stop the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the command:

/sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster stop

•

Restart the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the command:

/usr/sbin/snmpd

Configuring SSH access

On the CMS, copy the SSH-generated public key from the CMS to the managed system using the
mxagentconfig

:

Use one of the following commands:

•

mxagentconfig -a -n <hostname> -u root -f <file_with_root_password>

•

mxagentconfig -a -n <hostname> -u root -p <root_password>

NOTE:

Using the -p option exposes the password through ps output, so using the -f option

(with a file only readable by root, and containing only the managed system root password)
is highly recommended when using mxagentconfig -a. If you use the -p option, enclose
the password in single quotes if the password has any special characters, such as & or $. For
more information and options, see the mxagentconfig manpage with man
mxagentconfig

.

Subscribing to WBEM indications/events:

NOTE:

For more information about HP-UX WBEM events, see the HP SIM online help.

Procedure 4 Subscribing to WBEM indications/events

1.

From the managed system, be sure WBEM is installed.
