VSE Agent Software Installation

Minor Issues

• When installing agents to a Windows managed system, the WMI Mapper item is checked by default on the software selection screen. This is correct for Integrity Windows managed systems, but not for Proliant Windows managed systems. If you leave the WMI Mapper item checked for a Proliant managed system, an attempt will be made to install it, but the attempt will fail (which is correct).

  Workaround. To avoid the unnecessary install attempt, uncheck the WMI Mapper item when installing to a Proliant Windows managed system.

• If an agent fails to install to a managed system, the HP SIM task results show a status of “Complete” instead of “Failed”. You must review the stdout and stderr of the HP SIM tasks to verify whether an agent was successfully installed or not. This applies to both the HP-UX and Windows CMS.

• For this release, there is no reinstall option in the “Install Integrity Linux VSE Agents” tool. If you need to reinstall an agent on a Linux managed system, you must remove the agent manually from the managed system and then install it through the “Install Integrity Linux VSE Agents” tool.

• If you log into a CMS as a non-Administrator/non-root user and install agents, you will see task results for the main install task, but not the install subtask results. In order to see the install sub-task results, you will have to log into the CMS as Administrator/root.

• If you select a group of systems that are running different operating systems and you try to install agents to them, the install task results are confusing. The agents will only be installed on systems with the correct OS, but the task results are missing the information that points you to the install subtask results.

• If you try to install the gWLM agent and JRE 1.5 at the same time to an HP-UX managed system, and the JRE 1.5 has not previously been installed, then the gWLM agent install will fail. Once the JRE 1.5 has been successfully installed to the managed system, then you can install the gWLM agent as well.

• When installing VSE agents to a 64-bit Windows managed system, the following message will be displayed in the stderr of the install sub-task:

  ´chcp´ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

  This is an issue with the remote command execution facility (DTF) of SIM, and the message can be ignored.
