The HP Systems Insight Manager Configure or Repair Agents tool is a quick and easy way to configure Linux, HP-UX and Windows managed systems from a Linux CMS. Running the Configure or Repair Agents feature from the CMS | |
To run Configure or Repair Agents remotely against multiple systems simultaneously, you must have authorizations to run the Configure or Repair Agents tool. You must have full CMS configuration privileges to modify the HP Systems Insight Manager community strings in the node security file. In addition, you must enter root or administrator level user credentials for the target system. Setting up Linux managed systems manually | |
You can use the HP Systems Insight Manager Configure or Repair Agents tool to configure Linux managed systems simultaneously, or you can configure each managed system manually. To manually configure Linux managed systems, perform the following on each managed system: Install and configure SSH. Verify that SSH is installed on the managed system:
rpm -qa | grep ssh
If it is not installed, see your Linux provider for information on installing SSH. 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 (spelled exactly as follows, administrator) exists on the CMS, and that mxagentconfig has been run on the CMS for the created administrator account. | | | | |
Launch the Manage SSH Keys dialog box from the CMS command prompt:
mxagentconfig -a -n hostname -u username -p Password
Click Connect.
Configure the 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. | | | | |
Verify that SNMP is installed:
rpm -qa | grep snmp
If it is not installed, see your Linux provider for information on installing SNMP. Stop the HP Server and Management Drivers and Agents daemons on the platform where you are installing HP Systems Insight Manager using the following command:
/etc/init.d/hpasm stop
| | | | | NOTE: If the HP Server Management Drivers and Agents daemon is not installed, omit this step and step F. | | | | |
Stop the SNMP daemon:
/etc/init.d/snmpd stop
Edit the snmpd.conf file using any text editor. For Red Hat Linux, run the following command for opening this file in the vi editor:
vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Service Pack 3, run the following command for opening this file in the vi editor:
vi /etc/snmpd.conf
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, run the following command for opening this file in the vi editor:
vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
Remove the comment symbol (#) from the trapsink line, and add the IP address of the CMS:
trapsink IPaddress
where IPaddress is the IP address of the CMS. Add the CMS to the read only community by adding the line:
rocommunity CommunityName IPaddress
where CommunityName is the SNMP community string used by the CMS and IPaddress is the IP address of the CMS. Save the changes to the file. To save and close this file using the vi editor, press the Esc key, enter :wq!, and press the Enter key.
Start the SNMP daemon:
/etc/init.d/snmpd start
Start the HP Server Management Drivers and Agents daemon if it is installed on your system:
/etc/init.d/hpasm start
