Corrective Actions

Cause/Symptom

The wget command fails:

If there is a proxy server in your environment that is not
configured properly

If the appropriate network ports open on the managed
system are not open. For more information, see

“Opening network ports on managed systems”
(page 78)

Take the corrective action based on the wget failure.

Verify that a proxy is not used to communicate between
the CMS and the managed system.

Configure Management Services task fails

Metrics are not collected

Insight Control for Linux does not have proxy server
support; the Insight Control for Linux features do not
communicate through proxy servers, and require direct
network connectivity between the CMS and the managed
systems.

Proxy information can be defined using an environment
variable or various configuration files.

Verify communication by using the wget command on the
managed system to retrieve a file from the CMS. An
example is below:

# wget
http://cms-ip-address
:cms-repository-port/boot/pxelinux.cgf/default
# wget
http://venus.example.com:60000/boot/pxelinux.cfg/default

Examine the output of the env command and the contents
of the /etc/wgetrc file to ensure that you do not have
any proxy variables set in your environment that might
interfere with Insight Control for Linux.

To resolve this issue, run the following command on the
managed system; this command adds a new rule that
accepts all TCP packets with destination port 22:

Configure or Repair Agents might fail for managed systems
running Red Hat 4.8

When running the Configure

→Configure or Repair Agents

on a managed system running RHEL 4.8, you might
encounter the following message:

# iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT 1 -p tcp
--dport 22 -j ACCEPT

"Configuration of Agents" timed out since it
reached the maximum configuration
time allocated for it per system.
It is currently set to 360 seconds for each
system.
If you need to increase this time out,
set it as property "CRAConfigureTimeout" in the
globalsetting.props file.
The value needs to be in seconds.

This stems from a firewall issue with the RHEL 4.8 kernel.

The following table describes possible causes of problems with the HP Graph tool and provides
actions to correct them.

Corrective Actions

Cause/Symptom

Add a symbolic link of the hpcgraph.conf file to the
web server's configuration directory and restart the web
server as follows:

Cannot Launch HP Graph After Upgrade

HP Graph cannot launch on a CMS that was upgraded
from an older release of Insight Control for Linux.

For RHEL operating systems:

1.

Create the symbolic link:

# ln -sf /opt/hptc/hpcgraph/hpcgraph.conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d/hpcgraph.conf
