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?

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.

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.

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.

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...

Renaming managed devices in HPSIM (HP insight manager)

Hi, wonder if anyone can advise.
We have joined our xenservers into HPSIM and the devices are showing by IP address only.
Is there a way to rename the managed device manually so it can show the host name?
thanks

Trying to Create a Catalog file using WSIM (Windows System Image Manager)

I have been looking online for a solution to htis problem for days and come up with nothing so any help would be amazingly helpful.
I have created a Windows 8.1 image which I would like to role out to all users within my company but when trying to create a catalog file I am getting an erorr message saying "Windows SIM was unable to generate a catalog." It says "Mounting

The one image that did work (LiteTouchPE_x64.wim) was from the OS I imported to Microsoft Workbench but the components are different to any that I have seen online when looking on how to do this.
I have made sure that the architecture is x64 and tried from ISO files I have on the system already but get the same error.
This is the first project I have been involved in and only ever done IT support before this.
Thanks for your help in advance.

SQL MP - System Center Management Health Service Credentials Not Found Alert Message

Hi Dears,

Desc are 1 of those 2:
An account specified in the Run As profile "Microsoft.SQLServer.SQLDiscoveryAccount" cannot be resolved.
An account specified in the Run As profile "Microsoft.SQLServer.SQLDefaultAccount" cannot be resolved.
Okay, I am fine, I verify the RunAs account configuration and yes this is the problem... I was able to solve it for those SQL running servicec account using domain user account, I created the run as account, and assoistte it with SQL profiles,
and it is fine....
BUT, what about my 8 SQL Servers running SQL Service Account under System and Network accounts,
so how Can I add this coz I cannot target all objects,so what shall I target (Object Health Service or WHAT)?
Please I need it step by step coz I am not able to handle this issue....
Thank you Guys

Hi,
If you have not distributed the Run As Account to a system, but we discovered SQL on it, you will see the error message.
This condition may have occurred because the account is not configured to be distributed to this computer. To resolve this problem, please distribute the account to this computer if appropriate. You can refer to the following blog to distribute the Run As
credential.
