Integrity Linux Server Configuration
Important: Configuration collections are not supported.
Before you can monitor your Integrity Linux managed systems you must:
l Verify the managed systems are supported by checking the Insight Remote Support Advanced
Release Notes.
l Verify that WBEM is installed and configured.
l Verify connectivity from the managed systems to the CMS.
HP WBEM Providers Required for Integrity Linux
Managed System
Important: When you are configuring Insight Remote Support Advanced, you must configure the
WBEM credentials for your Linux Integrity managed systems in the HP SIM interface. Take note of
these credentials as you will need to provide them later.
The HP WBEM Providers are required on your Integrity Linux managed system(s). The Integrity Linux HP
WBEM Providers and the relevant documentation are part of the HP Support Pack, which is part of the
larger HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux. HP SIM is also part of the Foundation Pack but
it is not required or supported on the Integrity Linux managed system because HP SIM for Insight Remote
Support Advanced must be hosted on the Windows ProLiant CMS.
You can access the latest version of the HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux software at
http://www.hp.com/go/integritylinuxessentials and the documentation, at
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/linux.html; search for HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux
on that Web page.
Sending a Test Event to the CMS
To send a test event from the managed system to the CMS, from a command line on the managed system
enter the following command:
touch /tmp/SMX.test
Note: This process is not supported for Red Hat Linux 4 or 5.
This creates a zero-length file called SMX.test in the tmp directory. The SMX providers will create an
indication to send to the CMS and remove the temporary file that you created in the previous step.
