Data collection – HP Systems Insight Manager User Manual
Page 164
a system is listed in this table; even one with no working credentials is listed with an Access Type
of None.
To resolve this issue, restart HP SIM to remove any extraneous database records, and re-run the
discovery or identification task.
Data Collection
Capacity information is not available from providers for passively managed storage arrays.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you have more than 2000 objects in an array, you must increase the default data collection time
to 32400, by modifying the Storage_DC_Timeout field in the globalsettings.props file.
When the number of objects to be collected on any given storage array exceeds 1000, it is possible
that data collection will fail for the array with a default timeout value of 10800 seconds.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After a HP SIM upgrade, the Data Collection task might fail when executed.
Solution: Following upgrade procedures, you must run either the Identification Task or System
Discovery Task against the systems for them to be reconciled following the completed upgrade
procedure. The Daily Identification task is available by default and can be ran be any time by
selecting Run Now. In a future release, the upgrade process will incorporate the automatic launching
of the Identification task against discovered systems.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Data Collection task for an Onboard Administrator times out on non-Windows CMS.
Solution: This affects the individual task only and does not affect other tasks in the batch.
-------------------------------------------------------------
HP SIM might report duplicate entries for array controllers if the data is collected using both WBEM
and SNMP protocols on a HP Insight Management WBEM Providers for Windows Server
2003/2008 target.
Solution: To see the correct data in report, you can perform data collection by disabling one of
the protocols. You can also access HP SMH to see the correct number of array controllers.
-------------------------------------------------------------
You see a problem with more than two mxinventory processes starting on the CMS.
Solution: Complete the following:
Procedure 42 Issue with two mxinventory processes starting
1.
Verify that your HP-UX CMS has the latest HP-UX kernel patches required for Java 1.5 execution.
If the CMS is HP-UX 11.23 IA/PA, then verify that the PHKL_35029 Kernel patch (or its
superseding patch) is installed. See
.
2.
Verify that all your HP-UX managed systems have HP WBEM Services for HP-UX A.02.00.11
or newer and for managed systems running HP-UX 11.23 IA/PA, verify the PHSS_33349
Kernel path (or its superseding patch) is installed.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you cancel a running task, by clicking Stop or Delete, and immediately try to start another task
of the same type, the second task does not run until the previously canceled task fully completes
the cancellation. Systems in the cancelled task that are currently being processed are allowed to
run to completion. For some long-running tasks like data collection or software deployment, it can
take some time to allow the systems in progress to reach completion and finally cancel the task.
Solution: If data collection runs for an unusually long time you might want to stop or delete the
task, and wait 5 to 10 minutes after the cancellation has completed before running another data
collection task.
If the data collection task is allowed to run to full completion without canceling, another data
collection task cannot be run for at least 15 minutes or the task will fail because it is skipped (this
would be shown in the STDOUT of the task instance).
