HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 Release Notes

2 Important notes
Central Management Server
Use careful planning if you want to deploy new drivers, firmware agents, or other software to the
local CMS because you might receive unexpected results, such as a mandatory reboot of the CMS.
Configure or Repair Agents
If you try this, these tools will fail and you will not be able to run other tasks with these tools. You
must reboot the CMS for these tools to work properly
Configure or Repair Agents fails on Linux systems if the HP Insight Management WBEM providers
are already installed on the system. HP does not support both WBEM and SNMP (contained in
the Linux support pack deployed by Configure or Repair Agents) on the same system. If the Configure
or Repair Agents operation fails, you can view the HP Smart Update Manager log on the target
system, located in the /var/hp/log/hpsum_execution_log* file and /var/hp/log/
localhost/*.txt files for more details. If the WBEM providers have already been installed,
the localhost\hpsum_detail_log.txt file will show a dependency conflict - hp-health
conflicts with hp-smx.
Data Collection
After discovering MSA2000 systems, Data Collection might fail resulting in minimal information
appearing on the System page and only Discovery/Identification data appearing in Data Collection
report. To resolve this issue, run Data Collection again.
Database credentials
During Systems Insight Manager installation, the database credentials must have SQL administrator
access with dbowner rights. After installation, these rights can be reduced.
Environment changes
The mxreconfig command is used to reconfigure Systems Insight Manager to accommodate
environment changes such as a CMS hostname change, CMS IP address change, or service
credential changes. It also has a sqlredirect option used to configure HP SIM to point to a different
database server and/or SQL server port number. The option to specify a non-standard port (other
than 1433) does not work correctly. Therefore, the sqlredirect option should only be used if the
database is on the standard port 1433.
Firmware
P2000 G3 SAS array firmware(Firmware version-T230) does not support SAS Host port topology
change related events. You will not receive SAS topology WBEM events in P2000 G3 firmware.
Systems Insight Manager service
When shutting down HP-UX, sometimes a message indicating Systems Insight Manager is being
stopped will be missing
SQL Server
When configuring a Configure or Repair Agents task, limit the number of target servers to 100 or
less so that the internally created Windows command will not exceed the maximum Windows
command line length.
