A.05.80 HP Insight Remote Support Advanced Managed Systems Configuration Guide (June 2013)

Managed Systems Configuration Guide
Chapter 12: HP-UX Server Configuration
Meeting HP-UX Operating System, Software, and
Patch Requirements
Consult the following tables to configure your HP-UX managed devices for Insight Remote Support before
installing HP Insight Remote Support Advanced on your CMS. Then, on the CMS, use the HP SIM to
discover your HP-UX managed system and configure the System Information.
System Fault Manager (SFM) is an Remote Support communications requirement on all supported version
of HP-UX. SFM has many patch prerequisites, and those are detailed in the following tables. If your
system(s) already meet the minimum requirements, you do not need to remove or reinstall those
components. If your systems do not meet the minimum requirements, please upgrade accordingly.
Additionally, you may be familiar with the variety of SFM providers available in the different SFM offerings.
Insight Remote Support Advanced only requires the providers in the standard SFM package(s) specified in
the tables below to support your managed systems. An overview of these providers exists in the OE/AR
Depot Information for HP-UX WBEM Providers, available at
http://h10018.www1.hp.com/wwsolutions/misc/hpsim-helpfiles/OEARInformation.pdf.
Important: On the CMS, discover your HP-UX managed system and configure the System
Information after you have met the HP-UX prerequisites defined in this chapter.
Note: There is no requirement for ELMC software on HP-UX managed systems because on HP-UX
systems WEBES communicates directly with the CIM Object Manager (CIMOM).
Software and Patch Requirements for HP-UX 11i v1
Important: While not required for HP-UX 11i v1 (11.11), it is strongly recommended to use
GOLDBASE11i - B.11.11.0612.459 Base Patches for HP-UX (December 2006).
Installing GOLDBASE11i fulfills all system patch requirements and provides the customer with a
stable supported environment. The following table identifies the minimum required patches (required if
GOLDBASE11i is not installed).
Note: Notes About the Following Table
l WBEM Services, Online Diagnostics, SysMgmtWeb, and HP SIM are available on the Operating
Environment (OE) media and can be selected for install during the SFM installation. Insight
Remote Support Advanced does not support HP SIM on HP-UX.
l The software versions listed are the minimum supported requirements. Newer versions are
supported unless otherwise noted.
l System Management Homepage (SMH), bundled in SysMgmtWeb, is optional. However, if it is
not installed you cannot access the Event Viewer (EvWEB) user interface.
l If present, previous versions of SFM (A.01.00.01 or A.03.00.xx) must be uninstalled before
