Hello
Looking for a wait to periodically remove members of a collection with SIM. I do not want to remove the collection as I have this defined by attributes that populate it. I just want to remove the member peridically.
Thanks In Advance

Need to automatically delete members of a collection in Systems Insight Manager

Re: HP SIM "Tools & Links" section display random links content
I must add an information: the redundant links ( "IIS Windows Server" or "HPE Ilo Login") point to the same IP adress but with different ports, the ports are from "additionalWsDisc.props" file, but not all of them. There is no app listening to these ports on the supervised servers, so it makes no sense to have the links.
Thank you!

Re: Hyper-v on Proliant Servers - best install method
1. The question that I have is what does this mean for the HP Management tools, such as array and hardware diagnostics?
Ans. HP Management tools are the tools which is used to manage HPE serves, like HP Array configuration utility is use to configure/manage RAID on HPE servers
2. Am I better installing the HP ProLiant Support Pack tools on each VM, and would they actually be safe to use on a VM basis?
Ans. HPE Service Pack for ProLiant Replaces the HP ProLiant Support Pack and Firmware DVD.
The Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) contains HP ProLiant server and BladeSystem drivers, systems software, and firmware. The SPP uses HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM) to deploy firmware and system software components on multiple HP ProLiant servers. It replaces the following products, which are not delivered or supported on HP ProLiant Gen8 servers:
- HP SmartStart CD
- HP Smart Update Firmware DVD
- HP ProLiant Support Pack (PSP)
SO you can use HPE Service Pack for ProLiant to install HP Management tools on base OS not on VM’s.
3. Or is it better to install Hyper-V as a role and install the PSP on the same instance of Windows, then just ignore the PSP tools in the individual VMs? Or, are the PSP tools best not used in virtualised systems anyway?
Ans. You have to install HP Management tools on the same instance of Windows and not on VM’s. However HPE Service Pack for ProLiant Replaces the HP ProLiant Support Pack and Firmware DVD. So you can use HPE Service Pack for ProLiant to install HP Management tools on base OS.

Re: Hyper-v on Proliant Servers - best install method
Hi,
thanks for taking the time to reply, but I don't really understand your answers to point 3 in the context of the Hyper-V install.
On your comments under points 1 and 2, yes, I am aware of the function of the management tools - that's why I want to install them. I am also aware of the change from SmartStart and Firmware DVD to the SPP distribution method, but I still have the same question . . . .
I get that you need to install them on the "base OS", but how does that work with the Hyper-V install when it's not installed as a role. The basic Hyper-V installation is a bit like ServerCore, i.e., you don't get a GUI to install and run software through? Is there some way to install and run the Service Pack software "headless" - or do I need to do without them on Hyoer-V if it is not installed as a Role on a "standard" WIndows install?
regards
Dave

Re: HP SIM 7.6 and SMI-S
I know this is a little late, but I found that I had to edit the user within the array and allow SMI-S access. No other download needed.

Re: Hyper-v on Proliant Servers - best install method
Hi Dave,
Please refer Smart Update Manager 8.4.0 CLI and Interactive CLI Guide (page Number 60) to deploy SPP in core OS without GUI mode.

Hi
You need to select the members and remove those manually, SIM does not have any automated task inbuilt to remove it.

Re: HP SIM "Tools & Links" section display random links content
Hi SimonaS,
We can see the images populated now. This is something which need detailed check and need to know why multiple hyperlinks for the iLO Login or IIS Windows Server.
I would reqest to raise the support tickert with HPE for further troubleshooting on this issue.
Regards

Re: HP SIM "Tools & Links" section display random links content
I made an experiment for one node which has redundant links: I have modified the additionalWsDisc.props file on the CMS, removing all ports that were in the redundant links(1311,3202, 3257, etc), then deleted the managed node from the database, restart HPSIM service and discover the node again, and now it looks better. Only one link, with 443 port.
Is this a good approach?

Disable "Data Collection retry was abandoned" alerts
Hi Team,
We are receiving the below alerts for each and every server in our environment whenever we restart hpsim.service and it literally fills up our mailboxes.
We would like to know how to disable such alerts permanently without impacting our current monitoring infrastructure.
One such type of event given below:

Re: Hyper-v on Proliant Servers - best install method
Hi,
just following up to answer my own post in case it helps someone else in the future . . . .
The "problem" was caused by 3 main issues:
1. Lack of detailed knowledge of HP Server Management Tools installation
2. Lack of any knowledge of managing Hyper-V Server, i.e., struggling without a GUI and using PowerShell
3. General Ignorance !
(As an aside, I tried installing Chrome at one point and found that you could run a Web Browser on Hyper-V or Core, that in itself was interesting, but probably not advised anyway and didn't actually get me running, but it may be handy in the future.)
Anyway, this is what worked for me . . . .
1. I burned the relevant SUM image to DVD and put in in the local drive (though this can probably be done using iLO and a DVD image on the remote computer).
2. From a command prompt, navigated to \hp\swpackages on the DVD and ran hpsum.bat, when the program said that it had started a local browser (which it obviously couldn't)
3. Added a Windows firewall rule to open the SUM ports from PS (PS:> "New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Open HP Ports" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 63001,63002 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow")
4. Ran SUM remotely (server ipaddress:63002\index.html), updating localhost and rebooted when asked
5. Added a Windows firewall rule to open the SMH ports from PS (PS:> "New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Open HP SMH Ports" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 2301,2381 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow")
This let me run SMH remotely (server ipaddress:2381). All of the hardware dignostic pages that I expected were there, but the Array Configuration Tool was not. The Array Configuration Utility is now Smart Storage Administrator (SSA), it had been instsalled, but is not linked to SMH by default. There is a utility program called SSAPrefs.exe which is used to configure some preferences and it runs a pop-up box that needs a GUI, so a little "frig" is needed for that . . .
You need a copy of a file from a non-Hyper-V version of Windows. In my case, I was trying to install Hyper-V 2012R2 and copied the file called oledlg.dll from its location on a full Windows install at c:\windows\system32\oledlg.dll to the SSA directory - in my case, C:\Program Files\HP\hpssa\bin, then ran ssaprefs.exe. As well as allowing you to select your language, the resultant Dialog Box allows you to select SSA integration with SHM. It starts a new Service and when SMH is opened, SSA is now available.
TA - DA!
Things are working now, it might not be the best way of doing things, but it worked for me!

Re: Hyper-v on Proliant Servers - best install method
Another problem has some to light - installing the HP WBEM package after Hyper-V is installed can break Hyper-V!
See this related thread : https://community.hpe.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/Smart-Storage-Administrator-and-Hyper-V-2012-R2-Core/td-p/6402079/page/3#.XntfyW52v4Y
The situation can be fixed by . . . .
"Run from cmd as admin this: MOFCOMP %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsVirtualization.V2.mof
This will rebuild required classes and should restore back Hyper-V console. "

Re: Disable "Data Collection retry was abandoned" alerts
Go to options -> protocol settings -> global protocol settings and disable the checkboxes for WBEM, WS-MAN and DMI

Problems installing SIM 7.6 on Windows 2019 with SQL Ent. installed already
Hi,
I'm having problems installing HPE SIM on new Windows 2019 server. SQL Enterprise 2019 is already installed so installation only offers to use SQL/SQL Express or Oracle. SQL 2019 is not an option since HPE SIM reports unsupported version.
So, I have installed SQL Express which I found withing SIM installation. Configured everything, added relevant domain user during SQL Express installation.
When I select SQLExpress instance for installation I get error: Unable to connect to specified database. Please check Host, Database and Port values provided.
All connection details are correct, I can log in through SSMS with that user.
Anyone has any idea what to do? This is a clean installation, not an upgrade.
Thanks in advance
//Nikola

Looking at the Install Guide Windows 2019 Is not a support OS for SIM 7.6. Perhaps this is your issue.

Re: Problems installing SIM 7.6 on Windows 2019 with SQL Ent. installed already
Could be. I've found SIM 7.6 LR4 supports Windows 2019, but maybe latest download does not have this patch included so it's not available. I'll check a bit more in that direction.
Thanks

With LR4 Windows 2019 is supported as a managed system not as the CMS

Event Notifier config or other monitoring option for DL380 G7
I have a handful of older DL380's I need to be able to get notifications in case of hardware failure. On the G6 and older systems, I've been able to run Event Notifier and simply put in an smtp server and email address and I'm good to go. I can't get the notifier to install on my G7 systems. As we're all working remotely these days, this has taken on some urgency. Please help.
