6.2 Software with Logical Server Management User Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/go/  
Logical servers  
A logical server is a set of configuration information that you create, activate and move across  
physical and virtual machines. It contains the logical server definition and description, including  
the server compute resources (for example, number of CPU cores and amount of memory), and  
the server connections to storage fabric and networks.  
A logical server is managed within Virtualization Manager and, when activated, is applied to  
the creation of a virtual machine using hypervisor-based software or to a bare-metal server blade  
using HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager. Logical servers can be defined using the Create  
Logical Server wizard or created and activated via the import of an existing server blade or  
virtual machine.  
The Logical Servers feature in Virtualization Manager allows you to perform tasks such as the  
following:

Introduction to HP Insight Dynamics  
 
         
Populate an enclosure  
Load balance servers  
Evacuate servers, for routine maintenance or in case of disaster  
NOTE: Logical server management is only supported on a CMS running Microsoft Windows.  
For more information about managing logical servers, see the HP Insight Virtualization Manager  
6.2 Software with Logical Server Management User Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/go/  
HP Insight Capacity Advisor software  
Capacity Advisor lets you quickly and safely test potentially costly configuration changes in  
your data center before you actually make them. To start Capacity Advisor, select  
ToolsCapacity Advisor from the top menu bar, or select the Capacity Advisor tab within  
Virtualization Manager. With Capacity Advisor, you can find answers to questions such as the  
following:  
Is there room on this system for an additional workload?  
Will this workload fit on this system?  
Can I consolidate these servers as virtual machines on a single server?  
What might my resource demand be in six months or a year?  
What are the estimated power costs for cooling a real or simulated system configuration?  
What does a comparison of several what-if scenarios reveal about the analyzed alternatives?  
Capacity Advisor helps you optimize workloads across your management domain to help maximize  
utilization of server resources. It provides scenario analysis to help you manage your current  
server resources and plan for changes to your workloads and resources. These scenarios allow  
you to simulate the following actions:  
Resizing systems  
Resizing workloads  
Moving workloads  
Capacity Advisor provides the following additional features.  
Automated generation of reports Capacity Advisor automates report generation that would  
otherwise take many manual steps to collect and present data or analysis.  
Trace-based simulator  
Providing graphs over specific data intervals, Capacity Advisor  
gives a more complete and accurate view of resource utilization than focusing on a single  
peak.  
Ease of data gathering Data is collected automatically using a secure protocol and stored  
in a central database for analysis.  
For more information about Capacity Advisor, see the HP Insight Capacity Advisor 6.2 User Guide,  
HP Insight Capacity Advisor Consolidation software  
Capacity Advisor is also available through a limited-duration license for systems that are intended  
to be consolidated. The HP Insight Capacity Advisor Consolidation software does not include  
Virtualization Manager or any other Insight Dynamics components. Using this software, you  
can collect and analyze data to help you plan the consolidation of existing systems, without  
requiring a full Insight Dynamics license for those systems. For more information, see the section  
“Data collection and the HP Insight Capacity Advisor Consolidation software” in the HP Insight  
Capacity Advisor 6.2 User Guide.

HP Insight Orchestration software  
HP Insight Orchestration extends HP Insight Dynamics to provide rapid provisioning and  
repurposing of infrastructure services from shared resource pools using a self-service portal.  
Insight Orchestration delivers advanced template-driven design, provisioning and on-going  
operations for multinode, multi-tier infrastructure services.  
HP Insight Orchestration supports four main activities to automate the deployment of  
infrastructure services:  
Design  
An architect uses the graphical designer to create simple and complex  
infrastructure templates that, when tested, can be published for users to create  
infrastructure services.  
Provision  
Operate  
A self-service user selects an existing template and then requests infrastructure  
provisioning from it, against an assigned pool of resources. The administrator  
can approve or deny this request, and monitor its progress.  
The administrator manages server, network, and storage pools, defines virtual  
machine images and software deployment jobs, performs manual provisioning  
tasks as part of the fulfillment of self-service requests, and uses Insight software  
to monitor the health and utilization of the managed environment.  
Integrate  
Architects and administrators integrate Insight Orchestration with existing IT  
processes by modifying or creating Operations Orchestration workflows to  
customize the Insight Orchestration automation. They can link to approval  
processes, extend operating system deployment and server configuration, and  
integrate the SAN management processes with server deployment.  
For more information about HP Insight Orchestration software and the related Operations  
Orchestration software, see the list of documents under “Related information” (page 29).  
HP Insight Recovery software  
HP Insight Recovery provides simplified disaster recovery of logical server environments. With  
a mouse click, HP Insight Recovery transfers application environments running on HP  
BladeSystems or on virtual machines to a remote Recovery Site. It utilizes the data replication  
capabilities of HP storage environments to ensure that application data is properly transitioned  
to the recovery location and that the overall transition is measured in minutes, not days. Insight  
Recovery is only supported on an HP ProLiant CMS running Microsoft Windows.  
Logical servers that are included in an HP Insight Recovery configuration are referred to as “DR  
protected logical servers”. An HP Insight Recovery configuration consists of two sites, each  
managed by HP Insight Dynamics. At any point in time, one site is configured with the primary  
role and the other is configured with the recovery role. HP Insight Recovery pairs symmetrically  
configured logical servers across the two sites. The DR protected logical servers at the Primary  
Site are in an activated state, providing services to the end-user. The peer logical servers at the  
Recovery Site are in a deactivated state.  
If a disaster occurs at the Primary Site, the administrator at the Recovery Site can trigger a site  
failover via a push-button provided by HP Insight Recovery. This will prepare the storage  
associated with the DR protected logical servers at the Recovery Site for read-write access, and  
then activate the logical servers at the Recovery Site. The site role at the Recovery Site will be  
changed to primary.  
For more information about HP Insight Recovery software, see the see the list of documents  
HP Storage Provisioning Manager  
HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) is a software tool that provides a service-centric  
management interface to storage, allowing storage requests to be fulfilled with available storage  
services from a storage catalog. SPM securely automates storage management tasks.  
8
Introduction to HP Insight Dynamics  
 
           
SPM is automatically installed as part of Insight Dynamics and is accessed through the logical  
server management (LSM) feature of Virtualization Manager. SPM must be connected to EVAs  
using Command View (CV), storage arrays that are managed by HP Insight Orchestration (HPIO)  
using Insight Operations Orchestration or SMI-S, and to unmanaged storage arrays.  
For more information about SPM, see the HP Storage Provisioning Manager User Guide, available  
Application Discovery  
Application Discovery helps you identify and learn about the applications and processes running  
in your data center or computing network.  
With Application Discovery, you can do the following:  
Discover the location and number of recognized, running and installed applications in your  
network or data center  
Monitor the activity and resource usage of running processes and applications  
Define and adapt application templates to your environment for better discovery of your  
third-party and custom applications, and to make them available for adding to monitored  
workloads  
Select the event types for which you want to receive notifications and set their level of  
importance  
For more information about Application Discovery, see the Application Discovery 6.2 User Guide,  
HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity  
To access Global Workload Manager (gWLM) from Virtualization Manager, select the Shared  
Resource Domain tab or select one of the items under ToolsGlobal Workload Manager from  
the Insight Dynamics menu bar. Global Workload Manager improves both workload performance  
and resource utilization in a shared computing environment. For servers partitioned with  
nPartitions, virtual partitions, virtual machines, psets, or FSS groups, gWLM can do the following:  
Monitor each application.  
Determine the CPU resources needed by each application.  
Automatically migrate CPU resources between partitions to where they are needed most.  
This migration improves application performance by making more resources available to  
the application at times of peak demand. In addition, migrating idle resources to the  
applications that are busy increases processor utilization.  
For more information about gWLM, see the HP Insight Global Workload Manager 6.2 User Guide,  
HP Instant Capacity Manager  
The Instant Capacity (iCAP) Manager is a web-based interface that can be used to monitor your  
Instant Capacity environment. There are several pages available in iCAP Manager, including a  
home page to provide an overview of the Instant Capacity resources available, a Global Instant  
Capacity (GiCAP) group manager page to provide more insight into the group managers, and  
detail pages for GiCAP groups and iCAP complexes and hosts.  
You can get to iCAP Manager in either of the following ways:  
From the Virtualization Manager Visualization tab, click the iCAP technology link associated  
with any managed system that has iCAP components, TiCAP capacity, or is a member of a  
GiCAP group.  
Select ToolsInstant Capacity Manager from the Insight Dynamics menu bar.

Partition Manager  
Partition Manager provides system administrators with a convenient graphical user interface to  
configure and manage nPartitions on HP server systems. Using Partition Manager, you can  
perform configuration tasks without having to remember commands and parameters. You select  
nPartitions, cells, I/O chassis or other components from the graphical display, then select an  
action from a menu.  
You can use Partition Manager to perform the following tasks:  
Create, modify and delete nPartitions  
Examine the nPartition configuration of a complex  
Check the complex for potential configuration and hardware problems  
Manage hardware resources on the complex  
For more information about Partition Manager, see the Partition Manager help.  
Integrity Virtual Machines Manager  
HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager (VM Manager) is the GUI that you can use from your  
browser to manage Integrity VM resources. VM Manager allows you to create, configure and  
evaluate virtual machines, and monitor and evaluate data and resources at the level of the VM  
Host. You can view all of a VM Host's virtual machines and their assigned resources, and you  
can view all resources assigned to a specific virtual machine or virtual switch. For example, VM  
Manager provides graphical views of virtual-to-physical network and storage devices so that  
you can view I/O data, including resource utilization information. VM Manager obtains  
information about Integrity VM resources through Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)  
providers installed on the VM Host.  
For more information about VM Manager, see the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager 4.1.1  
Software: User Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/docs.

Notes  
License is valid for six months after it is assigned to a system.  
Does not include license for HP Insight Virtualization Manager software. Systems with only this license will not  
be visible in Virtualization Manager.  
Adding and applying licenses  
To use a purchased license, you must first add it to the HP SIM License Manager database on  
the CMS, then apply the license to a specific managed system. The CMS keeps track of how many  
of each type of license are available to be applied to managed systems. As you apply licenses,  
the number of available licenses decreases.  
NOTE: Unlicensed systems will not be displayed by HP Insight Virtualization Manager software.  
At startup, Virtualization Manager displays an alert in the toolbar if there are unlicensed systems.  
Clicking this alert displays the following text:  
The following systems were ignored by Virtualization  
Manager because they are not licensed or have an  
expired license  
The licensing status of Virtual machines that are no longer associated with their VM Host cannot  
be determined by Insight Dynamics. In this case, the following message is displayed:  
The licensing status for the following Virtual Machines  
could not be determined because they are not associated with  
a VM host. They will be ignored by Virtualization Manager …  
To add and apply licenses, you must have administrative rights on the CMS and you must be  
authorized for the All Toolstoolbox on the managed systems that you want to license. To  
assign administrative rights to an HP SIM user, select the Users tab under  
OptionsSecurityUsers and Authorizations... and enable the “Configure CMS Security”  
option. To authorize users for toolboxes, use the Authorizations tab under  
OptionsSecurityUsers and Authorizations....  
Recommended Process: Use the managed system setup wizard  
HP recommends using the Insight managed system setup wizard to add and apply licenses for  
Insight Dynamics. To start the managed system setup wizard, select ConfigureManaged  
System Setup Wizard... from the HP SIM top menu. Help is available in each step of the wizard.  
For more information about the managed system setup wizard, see the Insight Managed System  
Setup Wizard Getting Started Guide.  
Alternative Process: Use HP SIM License Manager  
If you choose not to use the managed system setup wizard, you can use HP SIM License Manager  
to add and apply most types of licenses. You can also use License Manager to view the available

License management  
 
                 
and applied licenses for all products in the HP SIM License Manager database. To use HP SIM  
License Manager, you must have administrative rights on the CMS.  
Some licenses cannot be applied through License Manager:  
Trial licenses can only be applied to managed systems by the Insight managed system setup  
wizard or by the vselicensecommand. For information about vselicense, see  
LTUs from earlier versions of the VSE Management Software for Integrity or from the HP-UX  
VSE or DC Operating Environments are managed using the vselicensecommand or the  
“Scan for HP-UX Licenses” tool. For more information, see “Scan for HP-UX licenses”  
To start License Manager, select DeployLicense Manager... from the HP SIM menu. This  
menu selection will only be available if you have administrative rights on the CMS. Online help  
is available to guide you through the use of License Manager.  
The “Deploy: HP Insight Dynamics -VSE suite for Integrity Licenses” screen performs the final  
step of assigning or un-assigning licenses for Insight Dynamics to Integrity managed systems.  
This screen is not used to apply licenses for the HP Insight Capacity Advisor Consolidation  
software, the HP Insight Dynamics suite for ProLiant, or the HP Insight Dynamics suite for  
non-HP servers. Online help is available to guide you in using this screen.  
For systems that will be managed by a CMS running Microsoft Windows, applying licenses in  
the proper order will simplify the process and reduce errors. Apply licenses to each managed  
system in the order shown for each system type:  
HP BladeSystem c-Class ProLiant

Scan for HP-UX licenses  
Use the “Scan for HP-UX Licenses” task to perform the following functions:  
Enable the HP Insight Dynamics -VSE suite for Integrity licenses that are included in the  
HP-UX Operating Environments.  
Migrate unused licenses that were purchased for release 3.x or earlier of the VSE Management  
Software to the HP SIM License Manager database and apply them to your managed systems  
(if permitted by your licensing agreement with HP).  
To launch the task, click Scan for HP-UX Licenses... on the “Deploy: HP Insight Dynamics –  
VSE suite for Integrity Licenses” screen. On the “Task Confirmation” screen, click Run Now.  
Online help is available to guide you through the operation. This task scans for licenses for any  
VSE Management Software for Integrity LTU that is installed on the managed systems. It is not  
restricted to the type of license that was originally selected in License Manager. It will only  
discover licenses on HP-UX systems, even if other types of systems were included in the License  
Manager system selection. For more information about scanning for HP-UX licenses and migrating  
unused licenses from earlier software versions, see vselicense(1M) [p. 41].

3 Getting Started  
Installing the software  
This document does not cover installation of the software or upgrade from previous versions of  
the software. For installation and upgrade on a CMS running Microsoft Windows, see HP Insight  
Software 6.2 Preinstallation Worksheet, HP Insight Software 6.2 Quick Installation Guide, and HP  
Insight Software 6.2 Installation and Configuration Guide. For installation and upgrade on a CMS  
running HP-UX, see HP Insight Dynamics 6.2 Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide.  
Configuring privilege elevation  
Some Insight Dynamics management functions require privileged (root) access from the CMS  
to HP-UX, Linux, and VMware ESX managed systems. Privilege elevation allows you to use  
your preferred mechanism for acquiring rootpermissions as needed (for example, using sudo  
or PowerBroker), without having to allow login through the rootaccount.  
Procedure 3-1 Configure privilege elevation for use with Insight Dynamics  
1. Select OptionsSecurityPrivilege Elevation... from the HP SIM top menu.  
2. Select Enable privilege elevation for Linux & HP-UX (or VMware ESX, according to the  
type of managed system OS).  
3. Select the elevation tool type from the menu.  
IMPORTANT: Insight Dynamics does not support the option A password is required for  
this privilege elevation tool. Make sure that option is not checked.  
4. Select use this user and enter a user name that will be used to access all managed systems  
with this type of OS. You will need to enable the selected user login on the managed systems.  
Additional configuration may also be needed. For example, you may need to configure SSH  
access using ConfigureConfigure or Repair Agents..., and you may need to configure the  
managed system to allow host authentication for non-rootusers. For more information, see the  
HP SIM help, mxagentconfig(1M), and the Insight Dynamics installation and configuration guides.  
Links to these documents can be found in “Related information” (page 29).  
Using the Insight managed system setup wizard  
Insight managed system setup wizard configures systems to enable them to be managed by HP  
SIM and its plug-in applications, including Insight Dynamics. Use the managed system setup  
wizard for initial configuration or reconfiguration of any selected set of systems. After you specify  
which management features you want to use on the selected systems, the wizard will analyze  
the current configuration of each system and perform the following functions:  
Install any agents necessary to enable the selected management features  
Apply any required licenses from the set of licenses available in the License Manager database  
Complete additional configuration steps required by the features that you selected  
After initial configuration, you can run the managed system setup wizard again at any time to  
modify the selected management features and change the configuration.  
For more information about the managed system setup wizard, see the Insight Managed System  
Setup Wizard 6.2 Getting Started Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/docs  
Configuring user authorizations  
Users must be authorized in HP SIM in order to use Insight Dynamics tools and features.  
Information about Insight Dynamics user authorizations is available in the online help. From  
Installing the software  
21  
 
                 
Virtualization Manager, click the button in the upper right of the screen. Select the “Logical  
servers” help topic from the help navigation links on the left, then select the Authorizations  
and configuration” link at the top of this page.  
Configuring data collection credentials  
Systems that are to be managed using Capacity Advisor or Virtualization Manager must be  
configured to allow data collection from the CMS. In general, this data collection can be enabled  
either through the Utilization Provider (UP) installed on the managed system, or through agentless  
data collection. For a description of the two methods, see the section “Comparison of agentless  
and UP data collection” in the HP Insight Capacity Advisor 6.2 User Guide.  
Authentication is required to enable data collection using either UP or agentless data collection.  
The required credentials are summarized in Table 3-1 (page 22). You can verify or modify the  
WBEM or SSH credentials for a system that has been discovered in HP SIM by selecting  
OptionsSecurityCredentialsSystem Credentials... from the HP SIM menu.

NOTE: On a Windows CMS, any VMware ESX and Microsoft Hyper-V hosts must be properly  
registered in HP Insight Control virtual machine management (VMM) to allow data collection  
from these hosts and their virtual machines. For information about registering the hosts in VMM,  
see HP Insight Control 6.2 Virtual Machine Management User Guide.  
Removing unneeded agent software  
If you have upgraded from a previous installation of Insight Dynamics or the VSE Management  
Software, there may be agents installed on some of your managed systems that are no longer  
needed. This will occur on managed systems that previously used the Utilization Provider for  
data collection and are now configured for agentless data collection. The following types of  
systems are affected:  
Integrity Linux or x86 Linux managed systems. In releases prior to version 6.0, these systems  
needed the Utilization Provider for data collection. In the current release, these systems will  
be configured to use agentless data collection. The Utilization Provider is no longer supported  
by Insight Dynamics on Linux managed systems.  
Microsoft Windows managed systems, but only if you are using a CMS that is also running  
Microsoft Windows (agentless data collection from Windows systems is not supported on  
an HP-UX CMS).  
22  
Getting Started  
 
             
In these cases, when you use the managed system setup wizard to configure the system, the  
following message will be displayed:  
Agentless data collection is not configured; it will be configured.  
An HP Utilization Provider has been detected; it will not be used  
for data collection.  
You should remove any sub-OS workloads defined on this system.  
NOTE: Any sub-OS workloads are automatically removed during the upgrade to Insight  
Dynamics 6.0.  
You may choose to remove the Utilization Provider from the affected systems after they have  
been configured for agentless data collection.  
IMPORTANT: Even though Insight Dynamics will no longer use the Utilization Provider for  
data collection, there may be other software installed on the system that still uses it (for example,  
HP Insight Control power management). Do not remove the agent if it is still in use.  
Procedure 3-2 Remove the Utilization Provider from a Windows 2003 system  
1. From Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs.  
2. Select “HP WMI Util Provider v1.8.1.1” (or the current installed version).  
3. Click Remove.  
Procedure 3-3 Remove the Utilization Provider from a Windows 2008 system  
1. From Control Panel, select Program and Features.  
2. Select “HP WMI Util Provider v1.8.1.1” (or the current installed version).  
3. Click Uninstall.  
Procedure 3-4 Remove the Utilization Provider from a Linux system  
1. Open a command shell with rootprivileges.  
2. Execute the following command:  
rpm -e hp-utilprovider  
For more information about agentless data collection, see the section “Comparison of agentless  
and UP data collection” in the HP Insight Capacity Advisor 6.2 User Guide.

4 Troubleshooting  
This chapter describes some of the tools and procedures that can be used to troubleshoot problems  
in Insight Dynamics. Additional troubleshooting information can be found in the user guides  
listed in “Manuals and white papers” (page 29). For information about known issues and  
workarounds in this release, see the HP Insight Dynamics 6.2 Release Notes.  
Memory and other system requirements  
Make sure that your CMS and managed systems meet the requirements specified in the HP Insight  
Software 6.2 Support Matrix. In particular, note the recommended and minimum supported  
memory requirements. This document is available at http://www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/  
If error messages about exceeding heap space are displayed, you may need to increase the heap  
size of the HP SIM Java Virtual Machine (JVM). On 64–bit systems, HP SIM sets the heap size to  
4096MB (4GB). You can specify a different heap size by setting the JVMMAXHEAPvalue (in MB)  
in the globalsettings.propsfile. On HP-UX, this file is at /etc/opt/mx/config/  
globalsettings.props. On Windows, it is at  
installation-directory\config\globalsettings.props. The default installation  
directory is C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment, but this directory  
can be changed at installation time.  
Insight managed system setup wizard  
Many configuration issues can be avoided by using the Insight managed system setup wizard  
to configure managed systems for use with Insight Dynamics. The wizard automates the  
installation of required licenses, agent software, and other configuration settings to support the  
management capabilities intended for use on the system.  
To start the managed system setup wizard, select ConfigureManaged System Setup Wizard...  
from the HP SIM top menu. Help is available in each step of the wizard.  
Diagnose menu actions  
There are three tasks available from the DiagnoseTroubleshoot Insight Dynamics menu,  
described in the following sections. These tasks use the vseassistcommand to perform  
configuration checks. For examples of the output from these checks, see vseassist(1M) [p. 36].  
Check CMS configuration  
This task performs a number of configuration checks on the CMS. When troubleshooting your  
Insight Dynamics configuration, perform this task first. Once you have resolved any CMS

vseassist(1M)  
NAME  
vseassist -- Help Resolve Insight Dynamics Configuration Problems  
SYNOPSIS  
Path (HP-UX): /opt/vse/bin/vseassist  
Path (Windows): install-path\bin\vseassist.exe  
vseassist-a[-q] [ -n nodename | -g collectionname ]...  
vseassist-c[-q]  
vseassist{ -l| -r} [-q] { -n nodename | -g collectionname }...  
vseassist-s[-q] -h cms  
DESCRIPTION  
The vseassistcommand performs a number of checks to identify configuration problems in  
HP Insight Dynamics. This command checks the software configuration on the HP SIM Central  
Management Server (CMS), the communication between the CMS and managed systems, and  
the configuration of the software on managed systems. A summary of results is displayed and  
detailed results are written to a log file, along with recommendations for resolving any problems  
found.  
You can execute vseassistfrom the HP SIM graphical user interface, from the command line  
on the CMS, or from the command line on a managed system. HP recommends the following  
diagnostic procedure:  
1. If you have Administrator (root) access to the CMS, execute the following command from  
the command line:  
vseassist-a  
This will check the configuration of the CMS, communication with all systems in the All  
VSE Resourcescollection, and the configuration on those systems. Refer to the summary  
output and examine the log file for any problems. Follow the resolution steps in the log file  
to fix any problems that were found.  
Fix problems in the CMS configuration first. You can verify that you have fixed those  
problems by executing the following command from the CMS command line:  
vseassist-c  
You can also run this command directly from the HP SIM user interface. From the Diagnose  
menu, select Troubleshoot Insight Dynamics, then select Check CMS  
Configuration.  
2. After you have resolved all problems with the CMS configuration, check to see if there are  
any remaining communication issues with the managed systems. From the CMS command  
line, specify the HP SIM nodenames or system collection names of your managed systems  
using the following command:  
vseassist-l{ -n nodename | -g collectionname ...}  
Or, from the HP SIM user interface, select the managed systems, then from the Diagnose  
menu, select Troubleshoot Insight Dynamics, then select Check CMS to Managed  
Node Communication.  
3. After you have resolved the communication issues between the CMS and your managed  
systems, check the configuration on those systems. From the CMS command line, specify  
the HP SIM nodenames or system collection names of your managed systems using the  
following command:  
vseassist-r{ -n nodename | -g collectionname ...}  
36  
Command reference  
 
 
Or, from the HP SIM user interface, select the managed systems, then from the Diagnose  
menu, select Troubleshoot Insight Dynamics, then select Check Managed Node  
Configuration.  
4. If you are unable to resolve issues with one of your managed systems, you can install or  
copy vseassistto the managed system and run it from the command line there. In the  
following command, replace cms with the fully qualified domain name of the CMS:  
vseassist-s-h cms  
Options  
If no options are specified, the command syntax is displayed and the command exits with return  
code 3.  
The vseassistcommand recognizes the following options. For each option, a mnemonic is  
shown in parentheses to help you remember the option letter.  
-a  
(All) Perform all checks:  
1. Check the configuration of the CMS (as with the -coption).  
2. Check the communication between the CMS and the specified  
managed systems (as with the -loption). If no managed systems  
are specified, then perform this check on all systems in the All  
VSE Resourcescollection.  
3. Check the configuration of the specified managed systems (as  
with the -roption). If no managed systems are specified, then  
perform this check on all compatible systems in the All VSE  
Resourcescollection.  
-c  
-l  
(CMS) Check the configuration of the CMS.  
Note: For a Windows CMS, if IOAssist is installed, additional IOAssist  
resource and CMS configuration checks will be launched.  
(Link) From the CMS, check the communication between the CMS  
and the managed systems specified by the -nand -goptions. Some  
of the problems detected with this option include expired licenses,  
no open WBEM ports, and improperly configured SSH authentication.  
These checks will verify that the CMS can communicate with the  
managed systems in order to perform management functions.  
This option requires one or more -nor -goptions.  
Note: On Windows and HP-UX CMS, vseassistwill obtain the  
port on which to attempt managed node communication from the  
file globalsettings.props(see FILES section below). If no port  
configuration is present, port 22 will be used.  
-r  
(Remote) From the CMS, check the configuration of the HP-UX or  
Windows managed systems specified by the -nand -goptions  
(vseassistdoes not provide configuration checks for Linux  
managed systems). This option uses mxexec to copy the vseassist  
command to the managed systems, where it is executed with the -s  
option.  
In order for the -roption to succeed, the CMS must be able to  
communicate with the managed systems (as checked by the -l  
option).  
This option requires one or more -nor -goptions.  
(Node) Specifies the name of a VSE managed system using the node  
name by which the system is known to the CMS (as reported by  
-n nodename  
37  
 
mxnode(1M)). Multiple -nand -goptions can be used to specify  
multiple systems.  
Note: This command is only designed to diagnose problems with  
sytems that are part of the All VSE Resourcescollection. Applying  
this command to other resources using -nor -goptions will not  
produce useful results.  
(Group) Specifies the name of a collection of systems known to the  
CMS. The specified checks will be performed for each of the managed  
systems in the collection. Multiple -nand -goptions can be used to  
specify multiple systems.  
-g collectionname  
Note: System or collection names that include spaces must be enclosed  
in quotes.  
Refer to mxquery(1M) for more information about collections under  
HP SIM.  
-q  
-s  
(Quiet) No output will be generated on stdoutor stderr. The  
results will still be logged to the vseassist.logfile.  
(System) This option is used when running vseassistdirectly on  
HP-UX or Windows managed systems (vseassistdoes not provide  
configuration checks for Linux managed systems). Some of the  
problems detected with this option include missing WBEM providers,  
stalled WBEM process, and missing required patches. On an HP-UX  
managed system, WBEM services checks will be performed by  
wbemassist if wbemassist version 1.1 or later is installed. Otherwise  
vseassistwill use its own built-in WBEM checks.  
Note: wbemassist checks for problems in HP-UX WBEMServices and  
recommends solutions. It does not perform checks on WBEM  
Providers or other services that use the CIM server. For more  
information, see wbemassist(1M).  
When you use vseassistwith the -roption on the CMS, mxexec  
will remotely execute vseassiston the managed systems using  
the -soption.  
(Host) Specifies the fully qualified domain name of the CMS that is  
managing the system. This option is passed to the remote execution  
of vseassistwhen you use the -roption on the CMS.  
-h cms  
Installation  
The vseassistcommand is installed on the CMS when Insight Dynamics is installed.

DESCRIPTION  
The vselicensecommand is installed on the Central Management Server (CMS) with Insight  
Dynamics. This command installs and removes Licenses to Use (LTUs) for the HP Insight  
Dynamics -VSE suite for Integrity. It can also be used to correct the number of per-core or  
per-socket licenses that are applied for LTUs.  
This command applies only to HP Integrity systems running HP-UX, Linux, or Microsoft Windows  
operating systems, and HP 9000 systems running HP-UX. It is not used for licenses based on  
“5x5” keys (introduced with VSE Management Software version 4.0). It is only used for trial  
licenses included with Insight Dynamics and for the LTUs in the following list. You may have  
these LTUs installed from a previous version of the VSE Management Software, or from the  
HP-UX VSE or DC Operating Environments.  
T2786AC HP VSE Suite for HP-UX 11i LTU  
T2784AC HP Capacity Advisor for HP-UX LTU  
T2782AC HP Virtualization Manager for HP-UX LTU  
T2762AA HP Global Workload Manager Agent LTU  
T2807AC HP Capacity Advisor for Integrity Windows  
T2806AC HP Virtualization Manager for Integrity Windows  
T2785AC HP Capacity Advisor for Integrity Linux  
T2783AC HP Virtualization Manager for Integrity Linux  
Starting with VSE Management Software version 4.0 (A.04.00.07.xx), licenses are now managed  
in the HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) License Manager database on the CMS. These licenses  
are encoded in a “5x5” key consisting of 5 blocks of 5 numbers or characters. These licenses are  
added to the CMS and applied to managed systems through HP SIM.  
41  
 
 
Licenses from previous versions of the software and licenses included in the HP-UX VSE or DC  
Operating Environments are automatically migrated to the License Manager database if they  
were previously in use (the license had already been installed and scanned). If these licenses  
were never installed or have not yet been scanned, you may be able to migrate them to License  
Manager database using vselicense(see “Migrating previously unused licenses” below).  
Correcting the number of licensed cores or sockets  
Insight Dynamics -VSE for Integrity products are licensed per core or socket on managed HP  
Integrity and HP 9000 systems. When licenses from a previous release or from the HP-UX  
Operating Environments are migrated to the current version, the number of cores or sockets on  
the managed system is determined via a WBEM query. The value returned is used as the number  
of licenses assigned to that system. If the WBEM query is unsuccessful at determining the correct  
number, one license is assigned.  
You are responsible for verifying that the correct number of licenses are applied to your managed  
systems, based on the number of cores or sockets in use. In order to remain in compliance with  
your End User Licensing Agreement, you may need to correct the count assigned during the  
license migration process. To correct the count assigned during migration, enter the following  
command on the CMS:  
vselicense -m -c count -n sys  
where count is the correct number of per-core or per-socket licenses to assign for system sys.  
Migrating previously unused licenses  
If permitted by your licensing agreement with HP, unused licenses that were purchased for an  
earlier release but have not yet been installed or scanned can be migrated to the License Manager  
database and applied to a managed system by the vselicensecommand, using the following  
procedures. These procedures should also be used to enable the LTUs included with the HP-UX  
VSE or DC Operating Environments.  
To scan for HP-UX LTUs to migrate and apply, follow these steps (this scan can also be performed  
by the Insight managed system setup wizard and from the Insight Dynamics GUI):  
1. Install the HP-UX LTUs that have unused licenses, or install the VSE or DC Operating  
Environment, on the managed system.  
2. Establish common WBEM credentials for communication between the CMS and the managed  
systems, or configure SSH for use in HP SIM. In previous versions of the software, SSH was  
required in order to scan for HP-UX LTUs. Starting with Insight Dynamics 6.0, this scan will  
now be attempted using WBEM. SSH will only be used if scanning via WBEM fails. For  
information about configuring WBEM credentials and SSH, see the HP Insight Dynamics 6.2  
Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide.  
It is also possible to scan for the gWLM LTU (T2762AA) by communicating directly with  
the gWLM agent if it is running on the managed system. However, this will provide no  
information about the other LTUs. To perform this type of scan, use the -gor --gwlmoption.  
NOTE: The gWLM scanning option is only supported for gWLM agent versions earlier  
than version 4.0.  
3. Execute one of the following commands on the CMS (note that multiple -n sys options can  
be specified):  
Scan for T2786AC, T2784AC, T2782AC, and T2762AA LTUs using WBEM or SSH:  
vselicense -m -n sys  
Scan for T2762AA LTU by communicating with the running gWLM agent:  
vselicense -m -g -n sys  
42  
Command reference  
 
NOTE: This operation may take a long time to complete.  
4. If necessary, correct the number of per-core or per-socket licenses assigned to the systems  
using vselicensewith the -mand -coptions, as described above.  
To migrate and apply unused HP Integrity Linux or HP Integrity Windows LTUs, follow these  
steps:  
1. Execute the following command on the CMS (note that multiple -n sys options can be  
specified):  
vselicense -l key -n sys -p prod  
where key is the license key provided with the LTU product prod.  
NOTE: This operation may take a long time to complete.  
2. If necessary, correct the number of per-core or per-socket licenses assigned to the systems  
using vselicensewith the -mand -coptions, as described above.  
NOTE: Changes made by vselicensemay not show up in the product's user interface until  
you refresh the data (click the Refresh Data link in Capacity Advisor, or the Refresh Data icon  
in the Visualization tab).  
After migration to the License Manager database, your previously purchased LTUs will appear  
in the HP SIM License Manager under the following new license names:  
HP Insight Dynamics -VSE suite for Integrity  
Migrated from:  
T2786AC HP VSE Suite for HP-UX 11i LTU  
HP Insight Virtualization Manager software  
Migrated from:  
T2782AC HP Virtualization Manager for HP-UX LTU  
T2806AC HP Virtualization Manager for Integrity Windows  
T2783AC HP Virtualization Manager for Integrity Linux  
HP Insight Capacity Advisor software  
Migrated from:  
T2784AC HP Capacity Advisor for HP-UX LTU  
T2807AC HP Capacity Advisor for Integrity Windows  
T2785AC HP Capacity Advisor for Integrity Linux  
HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity  
Migrated from:  
T2762AA HP Global Workload Manager Agent LTU  
Use the HP SIM License Manager to view the status of these licenses (select Deploy -> License  
Manager...from the HP SIM menu, then select one of the new license names, as shown in the  
preceding list).  
Options  
The vselicensecommand recognizes the following options.  
-t|--tempLicense  
Apply a trial license for Insight Dynamics -VSE for Integrity  
to the systems identified by the -noptions. When Insight  
Dynamics is installed on the CMS, 10 trial licenses for the HP  
Insight Dynamics -VSE suite for Integrity are included in  
the License Manager database. These licenses can be applied  
to HP Integrity and HP 9000 systems. Each trial license is valid  
for 90 days after it is applied to a managed system. To  
43  
 
continue to manage these systems beyond the trial period,  
permanent licenses must be purchased.  
Install the license key for the LTU product identified by the  
-l key|--key=key  
-n sys|--sys=sys  
-poption on the systems identified by the -noptions.  
The system name, as identified in HP SIM.  
NOTE: HP Integrity virtual machines are licensed through  
the VM Host. You cannot specify a virtual machine as the  
target of a vselicensecommand. Instead, apply the  
command to the VM Host system.  
The product number of the LTU being installed or migrated.  
For example, T2783ACis the product number for the  
Virtualization Manager LTU for HP Integrity managed  
systems running Linux.  
Communicate directly with the gWLM agent running on the  
managed system when scanning for the gWLM LTU. This  
option should only be used if WBEM and SSH are not  
configured for use. When using this option, the scan can only  
detect the gWLM LTU (T2762AA). No information will be  
returned about other LTUs. This option is only supported for  
gWLM agent versions earlier than version 4.0.  
-p prod|--prod=prod  
-g|--gwlm  
-m|--migrate  
Migrate LTUs to the HP SIM License Manager database.

Glossary  
active logical  
A logical server that has been bound to both an HP SIM managed system and a workload, and is  
bound to specific storage. Active logical servers can be in one of two states: powered on or  
powered off.  
server  
agent  
A program that regularly gathers information or performs some other service without the user's  
immediate presence. Insight Dynamics relies on agents on managed systems to provide in-depth  
hardware and software information. Some systems can also be configured for agentless data  
collection.  
BladeSystem  
HP BladeSystem is an infrastructure in a box that can support a combination of virtual machines,  
storage blades, and server blades. It comprises server blade compute nodes, integrated connectivity  
to data and storage networks, and shared power subsystems.  
BladeSystem  
enclosure  
Hardware solution for consolidating server blades and all supporting infrastructure elements  
(such as storage, network, and power) into a single unit.  
BladeSystem  
Integrated  
Manager  
A component in HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) that provides streamlined management  
for the entire HP BladeSystem product family. It enables users to quickly navigate their HP  
BladeSystem environments, including server blades, enclosure infrastructures, racks, and integrated  
switches through automatically generated blade-rack picture views and hierarchical trees.  
cell  
A circuit board that contains processors and memory, all controlled by a cell controller (CC).  
A cell is the basic building block of an nPartition in a complex.  
cell-based server  
CMS  
A server in which all cores and memory are contained in cells, each of which can be assigned  
for exclusive use by an nPartition. Each nPartition runs its own instance of an operating system.  
Central management server. A system in the management domain that executes the HP SIM  
software. All central operations within HP SIM are initiated from this system.  
compartment  
An nPartition, virtual partition, virtual machine, or resource partition whose resources are allocated  
by HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM).  
Multiple compartments are grouped to form a shared resource domain (SRD). The compartments  
all share the resources of the SRD. A compartment can be in only one SRD. Each compartment  
holds a workload. gWLM manages each workload's resource allocation by adjusting the resource  
allocation of its compartment.  
complex  
core  
A complex includes one or more cabinets that are cabled together and all of the hardware  
resources that they contain. A complex has a single Service Processor.  
The actual data-processing engine within a processor. A single processor might have multiple  
cores, and a core might support multiple execution threads.  
EVA  
HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array. EVA provides designed-in virtualization to support  
your most critical applications as well as your bulk storage needs.  
FSS group  
Fair-Share Scheduler group. A group of processes that has its CPU allocation managed by the  
HP-UX FSS. FSS groups allow you to allocate fractions of cores, rather than only whole cores,  
to the processes in the group.  
GiCAP  
iCAP  
HP Global Instant Capacity. Software that enables you to move usage rights for Instant Capacity  
components within a group of servers.  
HP Instant Capacity. The HP Utility Pricing Solutions product that allows you to purchase and  
install additional processing power through the use of a two-step purchase model. Initially,  
you purchase system components (cores, cell boards, memory) at a fraction of the regular price  
because the usage rights are not included. These Instant Capacity components are inactive but  
installed and ready for use. When extra capacity is needed, you pay the remainder of the regular  
price for the usage rights to activate the components. If the regular price for the component is  
reduced by the time the usage rights are purchased, the remainder price is proportionally  
reduced, providing additional savings.  
Earlier versions of iCAP were referred to as Instant Capacity on Demand, or iCOD.  
logical server  
A feature provided by HP Insight Virtualization Manager software, a logical server is a set of  
configuration and metadata that you create, activate, and assign to operate within a physical  
47  
 
                               
or virtual machine. An active logical server can be moved from one location to another and its  
characteristics can be modified. This feature allows you to populate an enclosure, load balance  
servers, and evacuate servers in case of disaster; it allows you to provision resources only when  
needed and increase utilization of limited compute resources.  
LTU  
License to use.  
managed system  
A server or other system that can be managed by HP SIM from a CMS. A managed system can  
be managed by more than one CMS.  
managed  
workload  
A workload that is managed by HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity  
(gWLM).  
management  
domain  
A CMS and its managed systems.  
monitored  
workload  
A workload that can be monitored by HP Insight Virtualization Manager software but has no  
policy associated with it. Monitored workloads are not managed by HP Insight Global Workload  
Manager software for Integrity (gWLM).  
MSA  
HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array. MSA is a direct attach, external shared storage solution  
that helps customers easily transition from direct attached to centralized storage. It allows  
departmental and small- to medium- business customers to grow capacity as demands increase.  
nPartition  
A partition in a cell-based server that consists of one or more cellsand one or more I/O components.  
Each nPartition operates independently of other nPartitions and either runs a single instance  
of an operating system or is further divided into virtual partitions.  
nPartitions can be used as compartments managed by HP Insight Global Workload Manager  
software for Integrity (gWLM) as long as several requirements are met. Refer to the gWLM  
online help for a description of nPartition requirements.  
parked workload A workload that is not currently associated with a system. A workload becomes parked if its  
system is set to “none” when it is created or later modified. A parked workload that was  
previously associated with a system may have historical data associated with it from HP Insight  
Capacity Advisor software or HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity  
(gWLM). As with any workload, the historical data will be lost if the workload is deleted.  
When migrating a workload from one system to another, it may be useful to park the workload  
(removing the association with the original system) until the new system becomes available.  
This preserves the historical data for the workload across the migration.  
partition  
policy  
1. A subset of server hardware that includes core, memory, and I/O resources on which an  
operating system (OS) can be run. This type of partitioning allows a single server to run  
an OS independently in each partition with isolation from other partitions.  
that runs within a single OS. This type of partitioning controls resource allocations within  
an OS.  
A collection of rules and settings that control workload resources managed by HP Insight Global  
Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM). For example, a policy can indicate the  
minimum and maximum amount of CPU resources allowed for a workload, and a target to be  
achieved.  
A single policy can be associated with multiple workloads.  
provision  
PSET  
A function that makes a component operational. Provisioning might include installing,  
upgrading, loading, and configuring a software or hardware component. Provisioning a server  
includes loading the appropriate software (operating system and applications), customizing  
and configuring the system, and starting the server and its newly-loaded software. This makes  
the system ready for operation.  
Processor set. A collection of processors grouped together for exclusive access by applications  
assigned to that processor set. Each application runs only on processors in its assigned processor  
set.  
resource partition A subset of the resources available to an operating system instance, isolated for use by specific  
processes. A resource partition has its own process scheduler. CPU resources in the partition  
may be allocated using Fair-Share Scheduler groups or processor sets. Policies for controlling the  
48  
Glossary  
 
                 
allocation of resources to the partition can be set using HP Insight Global Workload Manager  
software for Integrity (gWLM).  
server blades  
Thin, modular, self-contained computer servers, containing one or more microprocessors and  
memory. Server blades are designed for high density and eliminate many components such as  
power cords and network cables that are present in traditional rack-mount systems. HP  
BladeSystem supports technologies such as hot-plug hard-drives, multiple I/O cards,  
multi-function network interconnects and Integrated Lights Out.  
Service Processor An independent support processor for HP servers that support nPartitions. The Service Processor  
provides a menu of service-level commands, plus commands to reset and reboot nPartitions  
and configure various parameters.  
The Service Processor in HP servers is sometimes called the Management Processor (MP) or  
the Guardian Service Processor (GSP).  
Serviceguard  
cluster  
An HP Serviceguard cluster is a networked grouping of HP 9000 or HP Integrity servers (host  
systems known as nodes) having sufficient redundancy of software and hardware that a single  
point of failure will not significantly disrupt service.  
Serviceguard  
package  
Packages are the means by which HP Serviceguard starts and halts configured applications. A  
package is a collection of services, disk volumes and IP addresses that are managed by  
Serviceguard to ensure they are available.  
Serviceguard  
workload  
A monitored workload associated with a Serviceguard cluster and a particular package within the  
cluster. The workload (and the utilization data reported) follows the package it is associated  
with as it moves between the nodes of the cluster.  
SMI-S  
Storage Management Initiative Specification. SMI-S delivers open storage network management  
interface technology in order to have “all storage managed by the SMI interface” as the unifying  
factor between all objects that must be managed in a storage area network and the tools used  
to manage them.  
socket  
SRD  
(CPU socket). The physical chip carrier on the circuit board that houses a CPU chip. The CPU  
may consist of multiple cores.  
Shared resource domain. A collection of compartments that share system resources managed by  
HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM). The compartments can  
A server containing nPartitions can be an SRD as long as nPartition requirements are met. These  
requirements are detailed in the gWLM Getting the Most out of gWLM topic.  
A server or an nPartition divided into virtual partitions can be an SRD for its virtual partition  
compartments. A VM Host can be an SRD to its virtual machines. Similarly, a server, an  
nPartition, or a virtual partition containing PSETs can be an SRD for its PSET compartments.  
Finally, a server, an nPartition, or a virtual partition containing FSS groups can be an SRD for  
its FSS-group compartments.  
A complex with nPartitions can hold multiple SRDs. For example, if the complex is divided  
into nPartitions named Par1 and Par2, Par1's compartments could be virtual partitions, while  
Par2's compartments are PSETs.  
SSL  
Secure Sockets Layer. Protocol for validating identity and for creating an encrypted connection  
between a server and a Web browser.  
system  
1. A server, nPartition, virtual partition, or virtual machine that is running an instance of an  
operating system.  
2. Entities on the network that communicate through TCP/IP or IPX. To manage a system,  
some type of management protocol (for example, SNMP, DMI or WBEM) must be present  
on the system. Examples of systems include servers, workstations, desktops, portables,  
routers, switches, hubs and gateways.  
TiCAP  
Temporary Instant Capacity. An HP product that enables customers to purchase prepaid core  
activation rights for a specified (temporary) period of time. Temporary capacity is sold in 30  
processing-day increments. TiCAP was formerly known as “TiCOD”.  
49  
 
                 
Utilization  
Provider  
The WBEM services provider for real-time utilization data from managed systems.  
VCEM  
Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager. A management tool for defining a server connection  
profile for each server bay. This profile establishes the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses  
for all Network Interface Controllers (NICs), the World Wide Names (WWNs) for all host bus  
adapters (HBAs), and the SAN boot parameters. If the server blade in the server bay is replaced,  
the configuration and connection profile stays constant.  
virtual machine  
A software entity provided by HP Integrity Virtual Machines, VMware ESX, VMware ESXi, or  
Microsoft Hyper-V. This technology allows a single server or nPartition (with Integrity Virtual  
Machines) to act as a VM Host for multiple individual virtual machines, each running its own  
instance of an operating system (referred to as a guest OS). Virtual machines are managed  
systems under Insight Dynamics.  
virtual partition  
VM Host  
A software partition of a server, or of a single nPartition, where each virtual partition can run  
its own instance of an operating system. A virtual partition cannot span an nPartition boundary.  
A server running HP Integrity Virtual Machines, VMware ESX, VMware ESXi, or Microsoft  
Hyper-V that provides multiple virtual machines, each running its own instance of an operating  
system.  
vPars  
An HP software product that provides virtual partitions.  
vPars monitor  
The program that manages the assignment of resources to virtual partitions in a vPars-enabled  
system. To enable virtual partitions, the vPars monitor must be booted in place of a normal  
HP-UX kernel. Each virtual partition running under the monitor then boots its own HP-UX  
kernel.  
WBEM  
Web-Based Enterprise Management. A set of web-based information services standards  
developed by the Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. A WBEM provider offers access to  
a resource. WBEM clients send requests to providers to get information about and access to the  
registered resources.  
WMI  
Windows Management Instrumentation. Insight Dynamics uses WMI for data collection from  
managed systems running Microsoft Windows. WMI queries and responses are converted to  
WBEM through the WMI Mapper.  
workload  
The collection of processes in a stand-alone server, nPartition compartment, virtual partition  
compartment, or virtual machine compartment. HP Insight Global Workload Manager software  
for Integrity (gWLM) extends this concept to include processor set (PSET) compartments and  
Fair-Share Scheduler (FSS) group compartments. gWLM enables you to monitor and manage  
workloads by automatically adjusting the resource allocations of compartments based on policies.
