This section provides instructions on how to prepare
a ProLiant system running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 or 10 to
be a managed system in VSE Management Software. Both x86 and x64 (AMD64/EM64T)
platforms running these SUSE Linux versions are shipped with OpenWBEM,
which is not supported by VSE Management Software. OpenPegasus is
the supported WBEM Services for VSE Management Software.
Because OpenPegasus WBEM Services cannot be installed
when OpenWBEM is present on the system, the following procedures describe
how to remove OpenWBEM, install OpenPegasus WBEM Services, and deploy
the VSE Agents required for managing the SUSE Linux system. If the
managed system is already running OpenPegasus 2.5 or greater then
no action is required.
Procedure 3-20 Remove OpenWBEM
OpenWBEM must be removed from the system before
installing OpenPegasus WBEM onto a ProLiant managed system running
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 or 10. Use the following procedure
to remove OpenWBEM.
Before removing OpenWBEM,
stop the OpenWBEM CIM Daemon.
# /etc/init.d/owcimomd stop
Shutting down OpenWBEM CIMOM Daemon |
Remove OpenWBEM and packages
that depend on OpenWBEM through the YaST Control Center or another
package management application.
Procedure 3-21 Download OpenPegasus WBEM
Use the following steps to download OpenPegasus
WBEM packages from the HP website.
Go to http://www.hp.com/.
Enter “OpenPegasus WBEM
Services” in the product search field and click the Search button.
Click the link for the OpenPegasus
version specific to VSE Management Software from the resulting list
of products.

Click the Download button to download the package.
Procedure 3-22 Install OpenPegasus WBEM
After downloading the OpenPegasus package, install
it and start OpenPegasus WBEM Services on the system.
Login to the Linux system
as root and run the following command to install
the package:
# rpm –Uvh tog-pegasus-version.distro.arch.rpm |
Start OpenPegasus WBEM Services
by running the following command as the root user:
# /etc/init.d/tog-pegasus start |
At this point the Linux managed system has OpenPegasus
WBEM installed and configured. The next steps provide information
on how to configure the CMS to enable VSE Agent Distributor for VSE
Agents.
Additional Configuration Steps
If your Linux system is not an HP SIM managed
system yet, refer to the “Setting Up Managed Systems” section of the HP Systems Insight Manager 4.3 Installation
and User Guide at http://www.docs.hp.com. This document also contains information on how to configure
WBEM credentials for a Linux system.
At this point users can install VSE Agents onto
the Linux managed systems, necessary for VSE Management. Refer to “Install Linux VSE Agents” for
instructions on how to install HP WBEM Providers onto Linux managed
systems.
