Privilege elevation
When “DISPLAY_LAST_LOGIN” = 1 in HP-UX, even non-interactive logins, such as used by
sudo, emit the Last login string. This extraneous data in stderr/stdout can affect tools.
This value can be changed using HP SMH in the Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration
section of the HP SMH home page. This can be done for the user whose rights have been elevated
(typically “root”) or set as the system-wide default for all users.
To make these changes, run the following commands:
For an individual user:
/usr/sbin/userdbset –u
For the system-wide default:
/usr/sbin/ch_rc –a –p DISPLAY_LAST_LOGIN=”0” /etc/default/security

I am receiving an error when clicking the Fans link on the Property pages Configuration tab.
Solution: Upgrade to HP ProLiant WBEM Providers 2.3.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Property pages for the VMWare ESX (Non-Embedded) operating system are not available
due to limitations in the WBEM agents.
Reporting
It has been observed that when HP SIM is upgraded from 6.2 to any later version, Enhanced
Reports cease to work. If you encounter this issue, you must perform the following steps to solve
the problem.
Procedure 53 Correcting issue with Enhanced Reports not working after an upgrade from HP SIM
6.2
1.
On Linux or HP-UX:
Navigate to
jboss.web\localhost\_\org\apache\jsp\mxportal\NewReport
On Windows:
Navigate to: \opt\mx\jboss\server\hpsim\work\jboss.web\localhost\_\org\
apache\jsp\mxportal\NewReport
2.
Delete all files in these folders.
3.
Go to your browser and refresh the Enhanced Reports page and run any report.
NOTE:
This does not require the HP SIM service to restart. The changes are automatically detected
by HP SIM and Enhanced Reports will work correctly.
-------------------------------------------------------------
In advanced reporting, graph labels may not be displayed properly in the report output.
This can be caused by not having the right Asian fonts installed on the CMS and client system.
Ensure that Asian fonts for the desired locale are installed on both the CMS and client system where
the browser is installed. In addition the font can be configured to an alternate font in the
file or by running the CLI command:
mxglobalsettings --a EnhancedReportsLogicalFonts=<font name>
where font
name can be Dialog or SansSerif. The default value is Dialog.
Security
If HP SIM is installed after HP SMH is installed, the HP SMH 2,048-bit key pair is replaced with
the HP SIM 1,024-bit key pair.
