What is HP SIM? After

HP SIM(HP-UX, Linux or Windows)

Proliant/Win32, /Lin32, Proliant/AMD/Win64, /Lin64

Itanium servers running Windows 64, Linux 64, and HP-UX

PA-RISC servers running HP-UX, Linux 32

With HP SIM

Same management consoles managing all hardware and operating systems Or any combination you choose!

Overview

Insight Manager TopTools(Windows)

Service Control Manager, System

Inventory Manager(HP-UX or Linux)

IA-32 servers running Windows and Linux 32

Itanium servers running Windows, Linux

PA-RISC servers running HP-UX, Linux 32 Proliant –Linux 32

Before HP SIM

Different management consoles managing different hardware and operating systems

Workload Management

• Process Resource Manager• HP-UX Workload Manager• GlancePlus Pak

Central Point of Administration

Discovery, inventory, fault & remote management, role-based security, distributed tasks

•HP Systems Insight Manager

Systems Management for HP-UX 11i: Delivering The Most Manageable Platforms with Best RoIT

Configuration Management

• Systems Administration Manager (SAM)

• Partition Manager• HP-UX Bastille• HP-UX webmin-based Admin

Note: HP Systems Insight Manager replaces HP Servicecontrol Manager.

Software Deployment

• Ignite-UX• Software Distributor-UX• Update-UX• Patch Assessment Tool• Security Patch Check



July 23, 2006 6

Installing HP SIM on HP-UX• Remove any older versions (including SCM)

• Also remove directories left behind after uninstall• swinstall –s /HPSIM-HP-UX_C.05.00.05.00_11.23.depot \*• Initialize the database

• /opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig –a• Wait for the initialization to complete

• Check with /opt/mx/bin/mxuser –lt• If the user is present, init is complete

• Setup SSH• cat /etc/opt/mx/config/sshtools/.dtfSshKey.pub >>

~/.ssh/authorized_keys2• Verify services started

• ps –ef | grep mx• Look for mxdomainmgr, mxinventory, mxadmin, mxdtf, mxagent

July 23, 2006 7

Setting up a managed HP-UX system

• Providers, Monitors, EMS: Health Monitoring• WBEM Providers available on software.hp.com

• Part of System Fault Management (SysFaultMgmt)• Includes EMS Wrapper

• Monitors, EMS• Part of the Diagnostic package

• WBEM, SNMP: Eventing• A.02.00: For HP-UX 11i v1

• Transports Events from Specific Hardware/OS Providers and EMS Events using the EMS Wrapper

• SNMP for all others• Monitors must be configured (EMS)

• SSH: Remote Task Execution• Available for 11.0, 11i v1 and v2

Extending HP SIM through custom tools and SSH

Command line usage Example Usage Scenario: What systems are running a specific application or patch

Easy – just run an HP SIM task such as swlist, ps or find with appropriate parameters across all your servers and grep through the output, looking for all those that have the specific application trace.
