NOTE: This fix only applies to HP SIM instances which are managing a large number of servers
(maximum 5000) using WMI.
Add the following script to the MX.PROPERTIES file located in the Microsoft Windows directory
\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config or in the Linux and HP-UX
directory /etc/opt/mx/config:
MX_JOB_MAX_COMPLETED_JOBS_PER_TASK=3 Recommended value is 3 for greater than 1500
systems
MX_JOB_MAX_COMPLETED_JOB_AGE=7 Recommended value is 7 for greater than 1500 systems
MX_JOB_KEEP_RUN_NOW_HOURS=8 Recommended value is 8 for greater than 1500 systems
After the MX.PROPERTIES file has been modified, restart the HP SIM service to initiate the changes.
Ports used by HP SIM.
By default, HP SIM uses port 5989 to communicate with the WBEM server of the systems it monitors.
To use a different port for this purpose, complete the following:
1. The wbemportlist.xml file used by HP SIM must be altered to add the additional or
alternate WBEM port to be used. The file is located in C:\Program Files\HP\Systems
Insight Manager\Config\Identification. This example shows where the new lines
(in red) must be added to the <wbemportlist> tag in the xml file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'>
<wbemportlist>
<port id='5989' protocol='https'>
<cimnamespacelist>
<cimnamespace name='root/cimv2'/>
<cimnamespace name='vmware/esxv2'/>
<cimnamespace name='root/hpq'/>
</cimnamespacelist>
<interopnamespacelist>
<interopnamespace name='interop'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/pg_interop'/>
<interopnamespace name='root'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/emulex'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/qlogic'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/ibm'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/emc'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/smis/current'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/hitachi/dm51'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/interop'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/switc'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/cimv2'/>
</interopnamespacelist>
</port>
<port id='2718' protocol='https'>
<cimnamespacelist>
<cimnamespace name='root/cimv2'/>
</cimnamespacelist>
</port>
</wbemportlist>
2. Restart the HP SIM service.
3. Right-click the Systems Insight Manager service in Windows Services API, and click restart
from the dropdown menu.
