HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 171)

A Important Notes
System and object names must be unique
System and object names must be unique in HP SIM.
For example, the name of a Virtual Connect Domain must not be identical to the name of a Virtual
Connect Switch, or they can be confused in HP SIM. The Virtual Connect Domain is a virtual system
with no physical network address. The Virtual Connect Switch is a physical system that is network
addressable.
Setting the Primary DNS Suffix for the CMS
IMPORTANT: If the Windows server you are installing HP SIM onto is a multi-homed system
serving up multiple IP addresses across multiple domains, then it is important that the server has
the primary DNS suffix defined for the system. The primary DNS suffix must be displayed in the
System Properties as part of the Full computer name for the server.
In Windows:
Procedure 44 Setting the Primary DNS suffix of the CMS BEFORE installation
1. From the Windows Control Panel, click System, and then click Security.
2. Click change settings. The System Properties window appears.
3. On the Computer Name tab, click Change.
4. The Computer Name/Domain Changes window appears.
5. Click More. The DNS Suffix and NETBIOS Computer window appears.
6. Enter the Primary DNS suffix under Primary DNS Suffix of this computer, and click OK.
To fix the issue AFTER HP SIM installation, complete the following:
Procedure 45 Deleting duplicate CMS AFTER installation
1. From the command line, run ipconfig/flushdns.
2. In the HP SIM UI, on the system view page, select the duplicate CMS system you want to
remove.
3. Click Delete. If the system cannot be deleted, select the other CMS system and delete it.
4. Select the remaining CMS system, and then select Options
→Identify Systems.
5. Select target systems, and then click Run Now.
Distributed Systems Administration Utilities menu options not available
The Distributed Systems Administration Utilities (DSAU) menu items do not work on a HP SIM 6.0
HP-UX CMS. A new version of DSAU will be released to the web in the future.
Virtual machine guest memory reservation size
If HP SIM is installed on a virtual machine guest, but does not start and an empty
mxdomainmgr.0.log
file is observed in the installation/logs directory, then use the virtual
machine configuration tools to set the guest's memory reservation size to be a minimum of 4GB.
