1 Product overview This chapter provides an overview of HP Insight Control for Linux , its features, and its licensing requirements. 1.1 Product description Insight Control for Linux is a Linux-hosted management product for HP ProLiant servers in enterprise environments and high performance workgroups. Insight Control for Linux is designed as a plug-in to HP Systems Insight Manager (Systems Insight Manager).
— — — — Nagios, a system and network monitoring application that provides monitoring capabilities for Insight Control for Linux. Nagios watches specified hosts and services and issues alerts when problems occur and when problems are resolved. RRDtool, a round robin database tool and graphing system. Insight Control for Linux uses RRDtool with Nagios to provide a graphical view of system status.
• Remote installation of Linux operating systems to managed systems Insight Control for Linux enables you to launch the following types of remote network installations to install a Linux OS on one or more managed systems: — — — — Interactive or unattended installations of RHEL. Unattended installations of RHEL are run with user-customized Kickstart configuration files that have been registered in the repository. Interactive or unattended installations of SLES.
disk which, when the server is rebooted, is mounted by the iLO as if it were a physical CD or DVD. The CMS securely logs into the Integrated Lights Out (iLO) MP and configures the virtual media feature so that the server boots securely from an ISO image located on the CMS. That ISO image contains the network information for that server so that DHCP is never required.
Obtaining a free trial license The Free Trial button on the Insight Control for Linux product website (www.hp.com/go/ic-linux) downloads an Insight Control for Linux ISO image for a trial evaluation period. If you register for the trial evaluation, you receive a trial license key that enables you to test and evaluate Insight Control for Linux for a limited time period on a limited number of managed systems.
2 Installation and configuration checklist The checklist shown in Table 2-1 provides a summary of the steps that are required to install and configure Insight Control for Linux. Table 2-1 Insight Control for Linux installation and configuration checklist Task Documented in Prepare for the Insight Control for Linux installation process: 1. Read the HP Insight Control for Linux Release Notes. 2.
3 Preparing for the Insight Control for Linux installation This chapter describes Insight Control for Linux preinstallation tasks. It is especially important that you prepare the server you have chosen to be the CMS to meet all requirements for Systems Insight Manager and Insight Control for Linux according to the instructions in this chapter. 3.
• Remote repository Using a remote repository can save on virtualized I/O and storage needs. This is an opportunity to distribute the work load, allowing a file server to provide the OS install repository. NOTE: Distributing the repository is not an advantage when installing ESXi hosts because the entire distribution resides in the /opt/repository/boot directory, unlike RHEL, SLES, or ESX installations.
Table 3-1 Installation requirements (continued) Item Requirement Minimum firmware versions All components of the CMS and all ProLiant servers you want to manage with Insight Control for Linux must meet the minimum firmware requirements listed in the HP Insight Control for Linux Support Matrix. ProLiant Support Pack You must have downloaded a copy of the PSP that has been tested with this version of Insight Control for Linux and is appropriate for your hardware.
IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you install a new instance of a Linux OS on the CMS because Systems Insight Manager and Insight Control for Linux have requirements on certain RPM Package Manager (RPM) software packages. To get the best experience with Insight Control for Linux, HP recommends that you include the required RPMs during a new installation. Required RPMs are listed in Section 3.4.1.2 (page 18).

IMPORTANT: If your corporate policy requires SElinux, a published Insight Control for Linux white paper describes how to enable SElinux after an Insight Control for Linux installation. See Section 10.3 (page 70) for information about how to obtain Insight Control for Linux white papers. 3.4.1.
3.4.2 CMS configuration requirements Verify that the CMS meets the configuration requirements for Systems Insight Manager and Insight Control for Linux described in this section. If the CMS configuration does not meet a requirement, complete the configuration task or tasks now. 3.4.2.1 Configure a network interface Before installing Insight Control for Linux, you must configure a network interface on the CMS for communication with the managed systems.
3.4.2.5 Open inbound and outbound ports on the CMS The network ports listed in Table 3-7 are used for communication between the managed systems and the CMS. These ports must be open to inbound traffic, so follow the instructions in the vendor-supplied OS documentation to open the required network ports that are not already open. All outbound ports are assumed to be open by default. In addition to the standard ports, Insight Control for Linux binds to ports dynamically for outgoing traffic.
managed systems. By defining multiple servers to acts as hubs, the monitoring load is distributed across multiple servers. The /hptc_cluster file system stores the monitoring data collected by the management hubs. During the Insight Control for Linux installation procedure you can elect to export this file system to the management hubs. Doing so enables you to access all monitoring data from any management hub.
7. Save your changes and exit the text editor. Procedure 3-2 Opening ports on SLES operating systems 1. Use a text editor to create an /etc/sysconfig/nfs file with MOUNTD_PORT set to a constant open port. You can use any available port number above 1024. . . .
HP recommends leaving at least 10 GB of free space available for the repository. Although the size varies by what you are storing, 10 GB is enough space to store the following: • • • • • Two Linux operating systems Two captured Linux images Two PSPs Several script files Several Kickstart and AutoYaST installation configuration files If you expect to be storing a lot of data in the repository, HP recommends mounting a separate file system at /opt/repository to ensure sufficient disk space.
4 Configuring the network This chapter describes Insight Control for Linux networking requirements, including how to properly configure DHCP, which is a requirement for Insight Control for Linux if you are not using virtual media to boot managed systems. When you are finished configuring the network, proceed to Chapter 5 (page 39) to install Systems Insight Manager and Insight Control for Linux. 4.
• • • • • Pre-execution Environment (PXE) for booting1 HTTP/HTTPS rsync Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) All systems, routers, and firewalls involved in Insight Control for Linux communication must be configured not to block this traffic. Table 3-7 (page 25) lists the inbound network ports on the CMS that must be open on a firewall.
HP recommends the following network configurations for Insight Control for Linux: • • “Two-tier network topology” (page 31) “Flat single network topology” (page 31) 4.2.
4.3 Configuring a DHCP server This section describes the requirements and best practices for configuring a DHCP server for Insight Control for Linux if you do not elect to configure a DHCP server on the CMS during the Insight Control for Linux installation process. 4.3.1 DHCP minimum requirements Serving managed systems with DHCP is an absolute requirement to use the Insight Control for Linux deployment features, unless you plan on using virtual media to boot managed systems.
deny duplicates; # Insight Control for Linux settings option option-140 code 140 = text; option option-140 "172.1.1.1"; next-server 172.1.1.1; filename "pxelinux.bin"; # log-servers option log-servers 172.1.1.1; subnet 172.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; range dynamic-bootp 172.1.1.100 172.1.1.200; default-lease-time 1209600; max-lease-time 1814400; } 1 1 The range means that this DHCP server assigns IP addresses at random from the pool of specified addresses.
This server only responds to systems whose MAC address appears in this dhcpd.confconfiguration file. Each entry in this sample /etc/dhcpd.conf configuration file has three pieces of data: • • • MAC address of the NIC IP address to assign to the NIC Host name to assign to the server. The host-name field is data that is passed to the managed server to set its default host name. NOTE: In Example 4-2, the settings required by Insight Control for Linux are shown in bold font.
fixed-address 192.0.2.27; option host-name "server001-cp"; } # iLO2 console port from server 2 host server002-cp { hardware ethernet 00:1E:0B:76:54:9C; fixed-address 192.0.2.22; option host-name "server002-cp"; } } 1 2 This host name must agree with the DNS look up name or the host name entry if it exists in the /etc/hosts file. If this server is the CMS, this value must match the output of the hostname --fqdn command. -cp means this is the "console port".
192.0.2.21 192.0.2.22 server001-cp server002-cp 4.4 Other network services The successful operation of Insight Control for Linux also requires the proper operation of the following network services, and these services are configured automatically. • • • “ATFTP/ TFTP configuration” (page 36) “rsync configuration” (page 37) “SNMP configuration” (page 37) 4.4.
Example 4-5 /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file for SLES and RHEL # default: off # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file # transfer protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless # workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, # and to start the installation proce ss for some operating systems. service tftp { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.
• 38 requests from that location. Not including an IP address or system name accepts requests from any system. trapsink sets the destination for any traps the system generates. This value must be the IP address or the name of the CMS.

A.3 Configuring a static IP Address using DNSMASQ Example A-2 demonstrates how to configure two hosts with static IP addresses. You must assign IP addresses that are outside of the pool of addresses configured in the range option.
# Static Address Assignment #dhcp-host=11:22:33:44:55:66,mercury,192.168.0.60,45m dhcp-host=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff,mystatichost,172.1.1.201,24h dhcp-host=00:11:12:13:14:15,myotherhost,172.1.1.202,24h A.4 Configuring a static IP address using ISC DHCP Example A-3 provides an example of how to configure two hosts with static addresses. You must assign IP addresses that are outside of the pool of addresses configured in the range option.
Figure A-9 Multiple network architecture In this configuration, static routes must be added to the CMS (and to the external DHCP, if used) to set the gateway to the remote subnets. If the same router that provides connectivity to the remote subnets also provides connectivity to the larger public network, a simple default gateway may suffice. It is just required that the CMS have the ability to reach the remote network.
