4.3 Installing a Linux OS on managed systems
You must install a Linux OS if one or more servers that you intend to monitor and manage with
Insight Control for Linux does not have a supported OS installed. If the servers you plan to
configure as managed systems are already installed with a supported Linux OS, skip this task.
To install a Linux OS from the Insight Control for Linux repository to one or more managed
systems, follow the instructions in
Chapter 7 (page 81) .
When the operating systems have been installed on the managed systems, continue with
Section 4.4 .
4.4 Setting up managed systems for monitoring
When managed systems are running a supported Linux OS that was installed by Insight Control
for Linux tools or was installed by another method, you must configure those systems so that
they can be monitored by Insight Control for Linux.
Follow these steps to set up each managed system to be monitored by Insight Control for Linux:
1. “Opening network ports on managed systems” (page 48)
2. “Resolving host names on the CMS” (page 49)
3. “Installing additional components of the PSP” (page 50)
4. “Configuring agents and HP SIM SSH keys” (page 50)
5. “Configuring console access and logging” (page 52)
6. “Turning on password authentication ” (page 54)
4.4.1 Opening network ports on managed systems
The network ports listed in Table 4-1 are used for communication between the managed systems
and the CMS. These ports must be open to network traffic.
If you used HP Insight Control for Linux to install an OS and you used a configuration derived
from a supported template, the firewall is enabled by default and the ports listed in
Table 4-1
are opened by HP Insight Control for Linux automatically. If you do not use a supported template
for the OS configuration, the firewall is not opened automatically.
You must follow the instructions in the vendor-supplied documentation for your OS to open the
required ports that are not already open if you did not use Insight Control for Linux to install
the OS on a managed system.
Table 4-1 Open ports on managed systems
Inbound or outbond Protocol Service Port number
Inbound TCP ssh 22
Inbound TCP http 80
Inbound TCP/UDP SNMP 161
Outbound UDP SNMP trap listener 162
Inbound TCP Server location 427
Inbound UDP syslog-ng 514
Inbound TCP cpq-webm 2301
