Hewlett-Packard Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE)
is a secure remote support platform for your business servers and
storage devices. This document covers ISEE configuration on a single
ISEE Standard edition HP-UX imaged client. The full version of the
software is already imaged and ready to enable and configure. If a new software installation or multi-client or advanced
configurations are needed, see www.hp.com/learn/isee for the full
document HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition Client Installation
and Upgrade Guide. Before
You Begin |  |
 |  |  |  |  | CAUTION: The Event Monitoring System (EMS) is installed as
part of the ISEE platform software bundle. The (EMS) Listener is
a daemon monitoring EMS events generated by the HP-UX operating system.
This functionality is integral to the success of ISEE-based support.
DO NOT disable or uninstall EMS. |  |  |  |  |
You can determine if and which version of ISEE is on your
server by running the following command: #> swlist | grep ISEE HP-UX 11i v2 and 11i v3 have different requirements and statuses.
Read the following version statements before proceeding. For ISEE
on Servers using HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 & Later:The ISEE Client software is
part of the HP-UX OE/AR media releases and is pre-installed on HP-UX servers. No special requirements exist for HP-UX 11i v2 servers
running with processors, other than the Dual Processor Itanium Chip
Set; those users may continue to Step A. The minimum required JRE for HP-UX 11i v2 servers
with Dual Processor Itanium Chip Set processors is 1.4.2-2. You can obtain a current JRE version at: http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/sdkrte14/index.html You can obtain a installation instructions for the JRE at: http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/sdkrte14/index.html
For ISEE
on Servers using HP-UX 11i v3 & Later:The ISEE Client software will
be available after March, 2007. The ISEE Client software is NOT included in the
HP-UX AR/OE (shipping January, 2007), and is not pre-installed on
servers. The ISEE Client software can be manually installed,
when it becomes available, by following the instructions in “Installing
HP-UX Clients”.
Step
B: Enabling ISEE on Servers using HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 & Later |  |
By default, on servers using HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 & Later,
installed with HP OE Media, ISEE is installed in a disabled state.
To enable the client complete the following steps: In the file /etc/rc.config.d/hpservices.conf
change the value of START_TUNER from 0 to 1. In the file /etc/rc.config.d/rstemsListener change
the value of RST_LISTENER from 0 to 1. Execute /sbin/init.d/hpservices start. Execute /sbin/init.d/rstemsListener start.
Step C: Configuring ISEE |  |
 |  |  |  |  | CAUTION: “Cloning” or imaging of a configured
ISEE client is not supported. |  |  |  |  |
Open the following URL: http://<client_hostname>:5060/start.html Where <client_hostname> is the fully qualified name or IP address
of the monitored system. Enter admin for your user name and isee for your password when prompted
by the browser, and click [OK].  |  |  |  |  | CAUTION: This is the default password for all ISEE users.
HP STRONGLY recommends changing your password
after you complete the Client configuration. |  |  |  |  |
Read the informational window (see Figure 1-1 “HP ISEE Client User Interface Informational
Window”) and click [OK]. Enter your contact information in the appropriate
fields (see Figure 3-2 through Figure 3-3). Asterisks indicate required
fields. Failure to provide complete and accurate contact and company
information jeopardizes HP’s ability to identify, diagnose,
and repair hardware problems. False information may require reinstallation
of the ISEE client software.  |  |  |  |  | CAUTION: For HP to provide a timely response to events that
do NOT occur during normal business hours, it is critical to enter
complete information for at least one Additional Contact for after
hours notification. |  |  |  |  |
If a Web proxy
server is part of your environment, verify that your Web proxy server
information is entered correctly in the System Information section
(for example, <web_proxy.domain>.com:80). Inaccurate Web proxy server or firewall configuration
information will prevent HP ISEE from operating correctly. During the installation, your notification, security, and communication options are automatically configured to the default
HP ISEE values. No additional configuration is necessary. Click [submit]. Click [OK] on the update message (see Figure 1-4 “Update in Progress Dialog Box”). The ISEE client software automatically receives ISEE client
updates when it communicates with HP and displays new configuration
options when they are available. Click [OK] to the update pop up (see Figure 1-5 “ISEE Updates Dialog Box ”) to continue with the ISEE client software configuration. Scroll down to the Entitlement Information section
(Figure 1-6 “Entitlement Information ”) and select a radio
button either Serial Number with Product number and/or Contract
Identifier and Type. For most servers, the Serial and Product numbers
will be automatically populated. A customer whose host is covered by
warranty should leave the Contract ID field blank. A customer who has purchased an extended or uplifted
warranty at the time the device was purchased will likely have an
HP Care Pack support contract. The HP Care Pack contains a second/separate
support serial number that is different than the serial number for
the host itself. When selecting the HP Care Pack Serial Number contract
type, enter the HP Care Pack serial number as the contract identifier.
Click [submit]. Click [OK] on the progress dialog box (see Figure 1-7 “Update in Progress Dialog Box”). Read the entitlement
verification screen (Figure 1-8 “Entitlement Verification ”)
and click [close]. Click [Yes] on the pop up to close the browser window. Log back into the ISEE Client
User Interface, as described in Step One. The welcome to hp instant support enterprise
edition screen (see Figure 1-10 “HP ISEE Client User Interface Installation
Incidents”)
displays open incidents. If HP ISEE is installed correctly, multiple incidents
will display. (Figure 1-10 “HP ISEE Client User Interface Installation
Incidents”). There may be a delay of up to five minutes before all three
incidents display; you may refresh your browser manually during
this time to check for new incidents. If you do not see the New_Installation incident, the installation has failed; contact
your HP Support Representative.
Step
D: Scheduling System Collections |  |
To configure and enable new ISEE system collections, or to
modify existing collection schedules on your HP-UX Monitored Device: Set your collection schedule
by entering the command: /opt/hpservices/contrib/SysInfo/bin/setSysInfoCronEntry.sh -i At the prompt choose a day of the week to schedule
your collection (0=Sunday, 1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, and so on), enter the number for the appropriate
day. Choose a time of day to schedule your collection
(use 24-hour time: 0100 = 1:00 AM, 1700 = 5:00 pm, and so on), enter the number for the appropriate
time of day. The settings you choose can be changed later by running the
script: /opt/hpservices/contrib/SysInfo/bin/setSysInfoCronEntry.sh -i You can also edit the root crontab file as with any other
cron-scheduled job.Scheduled collections can be disabled after installation
by running the command: /opt/hpservices/contrib/SysInfo/bin/setSysInfoCronEntry.sh -d Repeat the Scheduling Configuration Collections section on
each monitored HP-UX Client that will submit configuration information.
Step E: Changing Your Default Password |  |
HP strongly recommends that you change your password for the
HP ISEE Client UI. To change these settings, complete the following
steps: Open the HP ISEE Client UI in your
browser: http://<client_hostname>:5060/start.html Where <client_hostname> is the fully qualified name of the Monitored Device. Log on using the current default user name and password. Click configuration options from the left menu bar, and a second window appears. Click communication from the new window. Change your password and confirm your new password
on the communication options page. Click [submit] to save your new password. Log in again when prompted using your new password.
