Setting up Linux managed systems manually

You can use the HP Systems Insight Manager Configure or Repair Agents tool to configure Linux managed
systems simultaneously, or you can configure each managed system manually.

To manually configure Linux managed systems, perform the following on each managed system:

1.

Install and configure SSH.
a.

Verify that SSH is installed on the managed system:

rpm -qa | grep ssh

If it is not installed, see your Linux provider for information on installing SSH.

b.

On the CMS, copy the SSH generated public key from the CMS to the managed system, and place
it in the authorized keys file of the execute-as user (root or administrator).

Important: On a non-English CMS, ensure that an administrator account (spelled exactly as follows,
administrator) exists on the CMS, and that mxagentconfig has been run on the CMS for the
created administrator account.

i.

Launch the Manage SSH Keys dialog box from the CMS command prompt:

mxagentconfig -a -n hostname -u username -p Password

ii.

Click Connect.

2.

Configure the system to send SNMP traps.

Note: These steps might vary slightly, depending on your version of Linux. See your Linux provider for
details if these file paths and file names do not exist on your system.

a.

Verify that SNMP is installed:

rpm -qa | grep snmp

If it is not installed, see your Linux provider for information on installing SNMP.

b.

Stop the HP Server and Management Drivers and Agents daemons on the platform where you are
installing HP Systems Insight Manager using the following command:

/etc/init.d/hpasm stop

Note: If the HP Server Management Drivers and Agents daemon is not installed, omit this step and
step F.

c.

Stop the SNMP daemon:

/etc/init.d/snmpd stop
