HP Insight Remote Support 7.0.9 Monitored Devices Configuration Guide

Note: The ProgramData folder is a hidden folder. To view this folder, set the folder options

to show hidden folders.

Copy the OpenVMS Itanium ELMC software package (ELMC[version]_OVMSI64.EXE) to the

OpenVMS monitored device. Place the .exe file in an empty directory. Make sure that:

n There are no other kits in the directory, especially other versions of ELMC kits.

n There are no old ELMC or WCCProxy files in the directory left over from previous operations.

5. Extract the ELMC installation files:

$ run ELMC[version]_OVMSI64.EXE

6. Run the installation command and follow the prompts:

$ @wccproxy_install install

Note: The command executes the DCL script wccproxy_install.com in the current

directory. Do not run the product install wccproxy command that would normally be used

to install a PCSI-based product. This command aborts and prompts you to run the

wccproxy_install.com script instead. Set your default directory to the one containing the

file wccproxy_install.com, created by extracting the ELMC .exe file in the previous step.

The kit will install and finish with no user prompting. When the DCL prompt ($) returns, the install has

finished and the ELMC (WCCProxy) process will be running.

Configure Dynamic Processor Resilience

Dynamic Processor Resilience, also known as CPU Indictment, is the ability for HP Insight Remote

Support to detect various error conditions occurring in the processor, or on the processor bus/links, and

remove the processor from operation. On HP Integrity servers running HP OpenVMS, this capability is

implemented by a combination of analysis within HP Insight Remote Support and Kernel CPU indictment

services provided by the HP OpenVMS operating system. When a CPU is indicted, the kernel CPU

indictment service will remove the processor from the active set. Additionally Insight Remote Support will

log a service call. By removing the failing processor from the active set this prohibits the processor from

failing fatally at some future time. Automatically logging the service call allows automatic proactive repair

further aiding in prompt resolution of the problem.

To use Dynamic Processor Resilience, it needs to be configured on the OpenVMS server and also

enabled in the Insight RS Console.

To enable Dynamic Processor Resilience on the OpenVMS server, complete the following steps:

Edit the SYS$INDICTMENT_POLICY.COM command procedure and change their values from 0 to 1:

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE/NOLOG SYS$INDICT_START 1

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE/NOLOG SYS$INDICT_ALLOW_CPUS 1

This enables all CPUs to be eligible for Indictment except for CPU 0.

Note: CPU 0 cannot be removed. If you wish to not have some CPU’s eligible, refer to the
