OpenVMS Server Configuration
Before you can monitor your OpenVMS managed systems you must:
l Verify the managed systems are supported by checking the Insight Remote Support Advanced
Release Notes.
l Verify ELMC for OpenVMS is installed and configured.
l Set the SNMP protocol in WEBES.
l Set the system properties in HP SIM for servers that do not have SMH agents or WBEM providers
installed.
ELMC System Requirements
OpenVMS managed systems must meet the following requirements before ELMC is installed. In clusters,
minimum requirements apply to each node in the cluster.
Hardware and Software Requirements
l Processor architecture: HP AlphaServer or Integrity (Itanium) Server
l Operating system:
n OpenVMS AlphaServer 7.3-2 or higher
n OpenVMS Itanium (Integrity) 8.2-1 or higher
Note: HP Sustaining Engineering maintains a schedule of support for the OpenVMS operating
system. HP does not commit to supporting WEBES when installed on an operating system
version that has exceeded its end-of-support date. See the following URL:
http://www.hp.com/hps/os/os_pvs_amap.html.
l Minimum 20,000 blocks free disk space.
l Connectivity: TCP/IP must be installed and running.
Even if TCP/IP traffic to other machines has been disabled, the ability to resolve the local host name
into an IP address must be enabled. Otherwise, the Director cannot handle ELMC message traffic
correctly and fails to start.
ELMC officially supports only one TCP/IP product for OpenVMS: HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS,
version 5.4 or higher.
Note: Other TCP/IP products may work as-is, so the WEBES installation kit always completes
regardless of what, if any, TCP/IP product is installed.
l LOCALHOST entry: For ELMC to operate correctly, the LOCALHOST entry must be defined in the
