Running hpsmh-7.60.-11 on RHEL 6. The org I am working with wants multiple OUs in the server certificate and wants it signed with at least a SHA256WithRSAEncryption signature signing algorithm. Are either of those possible?

Looking for the document "Compiling and customizing MIBs with HP SIM"
HI,
due to urgent problems i would like to read this document. It's linked here:
http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/solutions/info-library/index.aspx?cat=insightmanagement&subcat=ic#.WWY4aut95aR . But the link is broken. I found a lot of links googling for it, but either they are broken too or they lead to some great pages where i can read it in a viewer, but no download.
Can anyone provide me with the document or a link ? I can create a seafile link for upload if desired. Or does this forum have the possibility for a pm ?
I know that there is a chapter in the SIM manual with the same name, but i have the impression that this dedicated document is more extensive.
Thanks.
Bernd
HIP SIM 7.6 Limited Release
I saw mentioned of HP SIM 7.6LR, which has support for Sum 8.0. I can't find anywhere to download either SIM 7.6LR or Sum 8.0. Can anyone point me in the right direction - or are they just talking about software that hasn't been released yet?
HP System Management Homepage 7.6 on SLES11SP4: no items and data source is empty
Hi,
i just installed the HP SMHP 7.6 on a SLES 11 SP4. I used the SPP /871795_001_spp-2017.04.0-SPP2017040.2017_0420.14.iso from the HP webpage. Installation seemed to work fine, i didn't get an error.
I also installed the snmp agents. All init scripts start fine. SMHP is accessible on port 2381, but i just see "no items", and the "data source" is empty, nor wbem neither snmp. I found a lot of threads concnerning that problem, but mostly related to windows. I have SNMP running, this is my snmpd.conf:
# Following entries were added by HPE Insight Management Agents at

(http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/content-webapp/document?docId=emr_na-c03783196&dtd=default&locale=en&details=no), but searching for it i found they are discontinued since ProLiant Gen 6. I have Gen 9.
I reinstalled HPSMHP already (although it's not a windows box).
I think the problem is that i can't chosse anything in "data source".
Can anyone help me ?

No datasource SMH (Running on VM)
Post originally by
I've installed http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c05350303 SIM 7.6 for windows on a windows vm. My purpose is to monitor our real baremetal gen8/9 servers from this VM using the SMH.
However when I log into the SMH on the VM, the datasource in the top right is Empty. SNMP server is running on the server. Am I missing some configuration, does this kind of setup work?
HPE SIM, iLO Agentless Management, and SNMP v3
I am currently using SNMP with Agentless Management and HPE SIM. I would like to move to SNMP v3, if possible. However, I know little to nothing about SNMP v3 and have some questions:
1) In the iLO, do I need to set any SNMP values if I am using SNMP v3? For example, do I need a Read community set? What about traps? How does SNMP v3 know where to send traps if I dont include this info in the SNMP section? Do I still need to provide a trap community and alert detination? Is this still clear text, or would SNMP v3 provide the encryption for the trap community?
2) Do I need both Authentication AND Privacy passphrase, or just one or the other? If not, what are the benefits of using both?
3) Do I use SHA or MD5? Why?
4) Do I use DES or AES? Why?
5) Do I need an Engine ID? Why?
In HPE SIM, for the SNMP v3 discovery credentials, there are more "options" and hence do no match what the iLO is asking for. For example:
- HPE SIM asks for a Contact Engine ID and Context Name whereas the iLO does not ask for this and only asks for Engine ID. What do I use here?
- HPE provides for AES128/AES192/AES256 and DES/3DES whereas the iLO only provides for AES and DES. Assuming I pick AES on the iLO, where version of AES do I select in SIM?
Thanks for any info.

Insight Manager 7.6 Remote SQL Setup Questions
Post originally by
Hello all
I am working on installing Insight Manager 7.6 using an Remote SQL Instance.
I have a couple of questions that I have not been able to find the answers to and was looking for a bit of help. Here is what I can tell you about our setup:
1. HP SIM - Server 2012 R2
2. SQL - Server 2012 R2 - SQL 2014
3. Logging in to SIM server as my self
4 . will use Domain Service account to make connection to SQL server during install.
5. SQL Server will be a shared SQL server
Questions, in no particular order:
1. I know that the service account requres "dbo" permissions to "Master". Does it need to keep that permission or can it be removed and given lower level permissions?
2. Does SIM require its own Instance of SQL or can SIM share the instance wtih other Databases? Our plan is to use this as a shared SQL server.
I may have more as time goes on.
Thanks in advace for any help
Critical event message will not be displayed in SIM event list even some hardware was broken.
Hello, all.
I have a question about the configurations of HP SIM.
Now I am using several ProLiant Server which are ML350 G5, ML150 G6, ML350p G8, and ML350 G9.
I have HP ACU(or SSA),SMH, SIM installed on each server.
A while ago, I noticed that the Smart Storage Battery for Smart Array P440ar Controller on ML350 G9 was broken, but it seems that there was no critical message displayed in SIM event list.
After several days, I confirmed that exactly the same phenomenon occurred on ML350p G8.
I checked SSA and sure that Smart Storage Battery was broken on both ML350 G9 and ML350p G8.
In the past the same occurred on ML350 G5 server, the following message was showed at events list correctly.
Critical: Accelerator Board Battery Failed (3040)
Warning: Accelerator Board Status Change (3038)
But on ML350 G9 and ML350p G8, only "Accelerator Board Status Change (3038)" messages was displayed as "Warning".
I tried the following methods to solve this problem on ML350 G9, but it was not resolved.
"Critical: Accelerator Board Battery Failed (3040)" message still was not displayed.
-Update BIOS, iLO, Array Controller firmware to the latest version.
BIOS: v1.32 to v2.42
iLO: v2.10 to v2.54
Array Controller: v2.14 to v5.52
-Update SIM from 7.4.0 to ver7.6.0
-Upadte SSA, SMH to the latest version.
SSA: v2.65.7.0
SMH: v7.6.1.9
HPE Insight Management Agent: v10.70.0.0
Below are the results I confirmed.
-ML350Gen9, SIM ver7.4.0, SmartArray P440ar: NG (Critical: Accelerator Board Battery Failed (3040) message was not displayed.)
-ML350Gen9, SIM ver7.6.0 SmartArray P440ar: NG (Critical: Accelerator Board Battery Failed (3040) message was not displayed.)
-ML350pGen8, SIM ver7.1.0, SmartArray P420i: NG (Critical: Accelerator Board Battery Failed (3040) message was not displayed.)
-ML350 G5, SIM ver5.1.0, SartArray P400: OK (Critical: Accelerator Board Battery Failed (3040) message was displayed.)
Have anyone ever seen the same phenomenon?
(Critical message was not displayed even though the hardware has failed)
Or do I need to change some congirugation manually at HP SIM?
Thanks!
trying to get System Management HP running on ML 350G4p and SLES 10
Hi,
i know these are old systems but they are still running fine. I had SMHP running on two systems, but without knowing why they don't work anymore. I have a ML 350 G5 with SLES 10 and on it SMHP is running fine.
On this system i have the following packages installed:
pc53200:~/compaq/csp/linux # rpm -qa|grep -i ^hp
hpsim-C.05.01.00.00-1
hplip-hpijs-0.9.7-19.9
hpsmh-3.0.2-77
hp-OpenIPMI-8.3.1-11.sles10
hpadu-8.26-1
hp-snmp-agents-8.3.0.27-17
hpvca-2.2.1-3
hpsim-pgsql-config-C.05.01.00.00-1
hp-health-8.3.1.2-12
hp-smh-templates-8.3.0.9-13
hpdiags-8.3.1-105
hp-ilo-8.3.1-11.sles10
hpacucli-8.30-5.0
hponcfg-4.3.0-0
hpmouse-1.1.2-33
I installed the same packages on the ML 350 G4p, but i get timeouts in SMHP and don't see the hardware in the browser. And i don't see "SNMP" in "Data source", which i think is an indication that everything is fine if it would be available. I installed the most recent versions of SMHP for the ML 350G4p (7.5.4-3), but starting it i get an error:
pc52842:~/hp_tools # /etc/init.d/hpsmhd start
Starting hpsmhd ...startproc: signal catched /opt/hp/hpsmh/sbin/smhstart: Floating point exception
And i would really like to know which additional packages i need for SMHP and integration in SIM. hpasm, hprsm, hp-health, hp-snmp-agents ... ? I'm totally confused of all the packages.
I installed the most recent versions of hp-healt and hp-snmp-agents, but still don't succeed.
But installing the snmp-agents, i found some interesting output from rpm:
Following environment variables were used to configure snmpd/agents:
CMASKIPSNMPCONFIG
CMALOCALHOSTRWCOMMSTR
CMALOCALHOSTROCOMMSTR
What is the value of these variables respectively how do i have to set the readonly and the readwrite community strings for SMHP on the host ?
Currently i have the following packages o the ML 350 G4p:
pc52842:/opt/hp/hpsmh # rpm -qa|grep -i ^hp
hp-health-8.5.0.23-22
hplip-hpijs-0.9.7-19.9
hponcfg-1.6.0-1
hpsmh-3.0.2-77
hp-pel-1.0.1-1.sles10
hpadu-7.80-6
hp-snmp-agents-8.5.0.17-18
hpacucli-7.80-6
hp-smh-templates-8.5.0.13-15
Thanks in advance.

HP Version Control Agent vs disk-based HPSUM update
Post originally by KSA
Some time ago we've finished applying HP_SPP-2017.04 to all our servers
So in HPSIM servers are in HP_SPP-2017.04 compliant state now
To update components up to level of Reference Support Pack uploaded to repository we use HP Version Control Agent page on HPE System Management Homepage site
But now on some servers if I start HPSUM from disk I can see there are components requiring update: HPE Firmware Flash for Emulex Converged Network Adapters, for example
Which categories of components are not intended to be updated via HPE System Management Homepage ?
Should we use HPSUM for SAN-connected servers only? And VCA (which is our favorite as the update takes less effort) for the rest ?
CPQLINOS-MIB OIDs missing with AMS and iLO4
Hi,
I have a DL385p G8 with iLO 4 version 2.54 and Debian 8 with hp-ams 2.6.0-2378.51 installed.
I can snmpwalk the iLO4 interface for the OID tree 1.3.6.1.4.1.232 (Compaq Enterprise) and get status information about power, memory, fans etc.
But when I query the Linux OS I get no answer.
# snmpwalk -t 60 -v 2c -Ox -c public my.dl385p.com 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.23 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.23 = No more variables left in this MIB View (It is past the end of the MIB tree)
There is no other SNMP service installed and iLO has Agentless Management enabled.
Any ideas what's wrong here?
Many thanks,
Frank
DL380 GEN 9 VMWARE ESX SNMP Monitoring
Post originally by GDENG
Hi everyone,
I am working on a system that holds multiple HP DL380 GEN 9 serves operating on a VMWARE -ESX OS. I want to be able to monitor the different status from the server through SNMP, some status includes:
- Cpu utilization
- Memory utilization
- Storage/disk utilization
- i/o utilization
- network utilization
- Fan & PWR supply alarms
I have seen information on downloading and installing the HPE Systems Insight Manager (SIM) into the server and updating the MIB bundle kit for monitoring. Howerver this utilities can only be download for Windows, Linux or UX operatng systems.
Is it possible to install the SIM and bundle kit into VMWARE? is there another method to enable SNMP Monitoring?
Thank you in advance

Monitoring of 5-7 HP Proliant Servers
I was given the task at work to look for a way to monitor 5-7 Proliant servers and to send me an alert by email if there is a hardware failure. I've read a little bit about HP system integrated managements (SIM) but have a few questions. Does HP SIM need to be installed on a HP server or can it be installed on any type of desktop/server? After I have HP SIM installed do I need to install some software on the proliant servers to communicate with HP SIM?
