HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 198)

If a user is created with the operator template, then the user is automatically given authorizations
to run any CMS tool created with the Run as option set to root/Administrator.
Solution: To avoid granting users access to CMS tools, when creating new users, the operator
template must not be used and authorization must be configured separately. Note that only HP
SIM administrators can create CMS tools.
Ubuntu
Ubuntu Server provides native support for thousands of next-generation applications. This is available
in HP SIM through managed system support.
•
On ProLiant servers running Ubuntu with installed agents/AMS
Discovery and health status monitoring of physical proliant servers will work only if the agents
and AMS (in case of Gen8) work satisfactorily.
•
On VM guests running Ubuntu
Discovery and health of VMs running Ubuntu will work only if these are discovered via the
host. Direct discovery using the IP will not work since HP SIM's current design does not support
SSH’s super user concept.
Upgrade
After upgrade from 7.2 to 7.3.1 with any intermediate patches, sometimes, you cannot run
Enhanced Reports due to irresponsive buttons.
Workaround:
1.
Delete all contents under System Insight Manager\jboss\server\hpsim\work\
jboss.web\localhost\_\org\apache\jsp\mxportal\NewReport
.
2. Run Enhanced Reports.

When upgrading an HP SIM 6.3 Simplified Chinese system to an HP SIM 7.0 Simplified Chinese
system running W2k8-x64 R2, some of the dialog boxes might be garbled. To resolve this issue,
update the browser languages preference to Simplified Chinese.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you are upgrading to HP SIM 6.3 or later on Windows 2008 64-bit, first verify that OpenSSH
3.7.1 is not stuck in a starting state. If it is, select End Process for the cygrunsrv.exe process and
any sshd.exe processes using the Windows Task Manager.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If HP SIM is installed on a Windows XP system with MSDE as the database, you must manually
upgrade MSDE to SQL Server 2005 to upgrade the Windows XP system to Windows Vista.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you upgrade to Windows Vista on a HP SIM server running Windows XP, you might no longer
be able to browse into HP SIM. HP recommends turning off the Windows Vista User Account
Control features, and you might/ need to change the privileges of the SIMinstalldir\config
directory to get HP SIM running again.
UUID
All server hardware has what is called a UUID available to the operating system through the ROM
BIOS. This UUID is use to uniquely identify the hardware regardless of the operating system running
on it. While there is a standard way to decode and format/display this value, not all operating
system vendors have complied with that standard. For software that did not follow the standard,
HP SIM converts this value and displays it in the standard way. This can result in some differences
if the UUID is viewed through a given operating system tool such as dmidecode.
The SMBIOS stores the 16 bytes of System UUID as:
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15
