ProLiant Linux Server Configuration
Before you can monitor your ProLiant Linux managed systems you must:
l Verify the managed systems are supported by checking the Insight Remote Support Advanced
Release Notes.
l Verify the correct ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) tools are installed and configured on your managed
systems.
l Verify SNMP is installed and configured.
l Verify connectivity from the managed systems to the CMS.
Verifying the ProLiant Support Pack Version
The ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) is a system-specific software bundle that includes drivers, utilities, and
management agents for your ProLiant device(s). The PSP is shipped with every ProLiant on the HP
SmartStart CD. The most current version is also available at www.hp.com/servers/psp.
Note: For supported Linux ProLiants, the IM Agents version 7.1 or higher, must be installed (or
verified if already installed) from the PSP before you can continue. SNMP support (including IM
Agents and Health Drivers) cannot be supported on the same managed system as WBEM (including
IM Providers and Health Drivers). If you plan to support this managed system with SNMP, WBEM (if
installed) must be removed according to the PSP documentation.
Installing IM Agents
HP ProLiant systems running Linux are supported by Insight Management Agents (IM Agents), which are
also delivered through the PSP. IM Agents on the SmartStart CD and/or in PSP version 7.1 and higher are
supported for Insight Remote Support.
Note: On your Linux managed system, the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file contains the current
SNMP configuration. During your configuration of the installation script of IM Agents, watch for
information about this file. When the script prompts you about Configuring SNMP access from
remote Management Station(s), be sure to include the CMS IP address. If you do not, you will
need to reconfigure this on the managed system.
Installing System Management Homepage
System Management Homepage (SMH) is also part of the PSP. It provides additional reporting
capabilities on the managed system itself. While not mandatory for Insight Remote Support Advanced, if
you configure SNMP services incorrectly to communicate with the CMS during Insight Management
Agent installation you will need SMH to reconfigure those settings.
