It also deploys the Insight Control for Linux management agents to all servers in the
{collection_name}_Servers
subcollection. For information on managing subcollections,
see
Insight Control for Linux monitors only the objects in these collections:
•
Either all licensed servers are automatically added to the {collection_name}_Servers
subcollection or only the servers in the {collection_name}_Servers collection, depending
your response on the Auto-populate option.
•
The management processors associated with the licensed servers are automatically added to
the {collection_name}_Console_Ports subcollection.
•
All blade enclosures associated with the licensed servers are added to the
{collection_name}_Enclosures collection automatically.
NOTES:
•
Because Insight Control for Linux does not support monitoring for ESXi hosts, Microsoft Windows
servers, or Microsoft Windows VM guests, they are automatically excluded from the
{collection_name}_Servers collections regardless of whether or not they have an Insight
Control for Linux license.
•
When an ESX host is installed with Insight Control for Linux, SSH is automatically configured.
However, if the ESX host was not installed through Insight Control for Linux, you must enable
on the managed system because ssh is off by default.
Follow these steps to enable ssh:
1.
Use the text editor of your choice to edit the /etc/sshd/sshd_config to allow root
remote login; change this line to resemble the following:
PermitRootLogin yes
Save the file and exit the text editor.
2.
Restart the ssh service:
# /etc/init.d sshd restart
IMPORTANT:
This task requires that HP SIM SSH keys be successfully configured on all
s. For more information, see
To start the monitoring and management services and automatically populate the Insight Control
for Linux collection, follow these steps:
1.
Run the HP SIM Configure
→Configure or Repair Agents... task on the managed systems that
you want to monitor.
2.
If you want to monitor only a subset of servers, move those servers into the
{collection_name}_Servers
subcollection manually. Remember to specify No for the
Auto-populate option in step 4.
3.
Select the following menu item from the Insight Control user interface:
Options
→IC-Linux→Configure Management Services
NOTE:
The Task Results window always reports completion even if there were errors. Monitor
the Stdout and Stderr output under the respective tabs to determine if Configure Management
Services reported any errors.
4.
In the text field to the right of the Auto-poplulate {collection_name)_Servers with all licensed
servers? of the Specify Parameters window, enter the appropriate response:
•
Enter yes if you want Insight Control for Linux to monitor all the licensed servers that HP
SIM recognizes.
