HP Systems Insight Manager - Database questions, what is this database for?

Hello,
I am either missing this information completely in the Installation guide or it doesn't exist, but I am looking for details of the database that HP SIM needs to install.
-I assume this database will be used as a CMS?
-What information will this database be storing?
-If I have multiple HP servers, is it best to put this database on a remote dedicated database server? Will each HP machine that has SIM installed be pointing to this database?
Thanks.

Hello,
New to this site so here we go with an issue on HP Systems Insight Manager v7.4.0
System Insight Manager (SIM Server) receives alerts from a second server when the server restarts but no other alerts although it should be receiving all alerts.
When looking at the management agent on the second server I try and send a test trap and although it is sent it is not received on the SIM Server.
I do get alerts on the SIM server (and receive an email which has been set to send for all alerts) when the second server is restarted.
As I have set all alerts to be logged I should be getting spammed by the second server but it's all very quiet.
Any ideas anyone as I am stumped?

SAP mibs and Systems Insight Manager (SIM)

I'm trying to get our CCMS to send SNMP traps to our SIM (Systems Insight Manager) server. The SAP side of the setup is pretty straight forward. The SIM side, however, is not so clean.
Hopefully someone has had experience with this, and can either point me at some documentation / blogs that I've not yet been able to find, or just let me know where I've gone wrong.
The SIM server is 64bit Windows 2003, with SIM v 5 SP5.
The base mib pack is 7.70.
I've put the mibs provided by SAP on the SIM server in the mibs sub-folder.
I then ran "mcompile SAP_R3_MIB.txt" at a command prompt and it generated "SAP_R3_MIB.cfg".
Next I ran "mxmib SAP_R3_MIB.cfg" which said it completed successfully.
Yet, when I go into "Options -> Events -> SNMP Trap Settings.." the SAP_R3_MIB is not listed.
I have brought other non-SAP mibs in this way in the past. Is there something special I'm missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am trying to send SNMP alert from Solution Manager to Tivoli TEC. On solution Manager side log files shows that trapsend was triggered and there was no error. However I do not have any visibility on TEC side which is managed by other team. All i do is when I perform test , i asked them to check if they received anything and they say NO.
I had given them MIBS provided by SAP to TEC team. I don't know what they have done with that but looking at your blog I can tell that you are experienced on the receiving side.
Can you help me to understand the steps they should be performing with MIBS which I gave them. Do they need to change.txt file to .mib as you did. Also what is the way to check if they are receving anything or not? any tool or command at OS level also ?
If you have any document which you created based on your experience, it will be great. you can send it to me at [email protected]

Hp system insight manager-device discover issue

Hi,
I have recently installed hp System Insight Manager 7.4. But I can't discover any hp device. The system did not respond to SNMP. when discover any hp device then System Insight Manager showing error:
Major: The system cannot be identified properly for HP SIM to manage;
              unable to get one or more of the following: model, serial number or
              unique identifier (UUID). For management processors, verify the
              system is running the latest firmware. For Linux based operating
              systems, you must have dmidecode installed, enable the
              PermitRootLogin and PasswordAuthentication in sshd, and use root
              sign-in credential. For HP-UX, verify the sign-in credential. For
              Windows, check if WMIMapper is configured correctly on the CMS and
              verify the sign-in credential.
Any ideas on a fix for this?
Thank you,
Nahid

I know there might be issues with cimserver and different versions of SMI-S solutions. SAN-OS 3.2 uses 1.1 and 3.3 and above uses 1.2. The changes are considerable and can make some SMI-S system not work well. I don't know if NX-OS is supported yet.
I don't use HP SIM so I really can't say for sure but its worth checking on what is supported.

Issue while installing HP System Insight Manager on Windows Server 2008

Hi everybody,
as I wrote in the subject, I'm having trouble while trying to update my HP SIM vers. 6.1 to HP vers. 7.1 on my server running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP1.
I encounter the errore message:
"HP System Insight Manager Installer detected an unsopported operating system..."
How can I fix this problem?
is it OS really unsopported or Do I have to perform some upgrade before?
is it because of my Microsoft SQL server version? I have the 2005 ver. Do I need the 2008 one?
in anycase HP SIM vers. 6.1 runs with no problem.
Thanks
D

It appears that you have a commercial LaserJet in an enterprise enviornment. It would be best to post in the commercial LaserJet forums.

HP Systems Insight Manager - Disk Alerts Not being received

Hello,
I'm not receiving any disk alerts in HP SIM 7.4.0
If I open HP SIM and click on the server that has a disk issue it shows that there is an issue with the disk and has an yellow triangle next to Smart Array controller which is good.
However i am not getting an email alert for it. If I go to Events - Automatic Event Handling - Manage Tasks I have All Events selected as I have only added one server so far so should get alets for everything.
I only get an alert when restarting the server. I should get an email to let me know that there is a problem with the array on the member server?

HP Systems Insight Manager SNMP Traps not being received

I found the following on HP help....is it any use?Why am I not receiving notification when there is a SNMP Authentication trap received? Solution: The default setting for Enabling Trap Handling in SNMP Extensions is Disabled (Not Processed). The reason for this is because typically, a system can be set up with an incorrect community string or an incorrect community string is set in HP Systems Insight Manager, which results in an Authentication Failure trap to be sent to the management server each time a request is made to the system. This results in many traps being logged. To change this setting to Processed (Enabled), complete the following steps:Open HP Systems Insight Manager (http://machinename:280).Log in as a user with full configuration rights.Select OptionsEventsSNMP Trap Settings. In the Mib Name field, select rfc1215.mib.In...

Ever wonder "what if this database contains my data ?"

When you see a forums posting about missing datafiles , errors in recovery, SQLs returning the wrong results because they haven't been correctly written and tested .... etc etc ... do you ever wonder "what if this database contains my data ?".
-- as when it seems that the database might be some government database or one at a bank or a financial institution or a utility company ...
Edited by: Hemant K Chitale on Apr 24, 2009 2:18 PM

Hi Hemant
Yes ... Everytime when I see such messages, I wonder "What if it is my database's problem?". And after taking it in the consideration, I begin to help and support the unlucky OP witih all my (little) knowledge :)
And everytime seeing such messages, I'm getting sure to have backups of my databases and each time to test new recovery scenario to make me feel more confortable and let me sleep at night more calmly :)

F-4 Key on Windows 8.0 what is this function for?

I accidentally pushed F-4 Key by itself, and my screen was wider and something pop up on the right side of my screen that had 4 choices of ??? My question is what is this function for?? And after I push it again it went back to normal. I would also like to know what the other functions are for on top row F-1 to F-12 and yes I am a new user to this laptop from HP. I know there is also windows + keys commands and I am interested in knowing more about what goes on with my pc. F-3 has a icon that looks like a light, and yes I have a lot to learn, Thanks in advance for anyone who wishes to give me help on these matters.

Hi,
On the top of F4 key, you should see a screen symbol and normally (w/o preesing F4) this will output to an external monitor. For Fn+F4, please read the following article:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c00294488
What is your machine ? Depeinding on the model/product of your machine, some keys my line up a bit difference but you can see symbol on each key and work this out. For example F2 and F3 are for brightness, F5 for backlit keyboard (not all machines). F6 to F11 for sound/video and F12 for wireless. On your machine, some keys may be swapping around but basically they all have one symbol each.
Regards.

I just purchased FormsCentral but according to your site it is going to be closed on June 22. What does this mean for what I paid? Do you have an alternative program to use? Do I receive my money back?

Kim,
When you say you just purchased Formscentral exactly what do you mean? Formscentral has not been sold as a stand alone product in a while due to the decision to close the service. If you got Formscentral as part of a Acrobat subscription then you need to know that that part of the subscription will go away partially in June and fully in July. If you have indeed managed to purchase Formscentral standalone recently can you please give me the information about your purchase such as the date of purchase and link to the site from which you purchased. Refunds are available to customers who are not able to use the service though their contract period.
