2 Installing and uninstalling the SMI-S Proxy Provider

Windows

The Windows package comes as a Smart Component with installers for Pegasus CIMOM, HP Proxy Settings Manager, and MSA2000 G2 SMI-S Proxy Provider.

The SMI-S Proxy Provider can be installed on any ProLiant Server running Windows or Linux that has Ethernet connection to the MSA2000 G2 Storage Enclosures. The SMI-S proxy will communicate to all of the MSA2000 G2 Storage enclosures via the Ethernet-based embedded storage management processor.

To install the package:

1. Verify that the following management interfaces are enabled on each MSA2000 G2 storage

enclosure:

• Embedded SMI-S

• Embedded SNMP (used for initial discovery only)

2. With Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory containing the installation package.

3. Click cpnnnnnn.exe.

4. Click Install in the HP Package Setup dialog. (See Figure 2, page 11.)

Figure 2 HP Package Setup dialog

MSA2000 G2 SMI-S Proxy Provider User Guide 11

5. Select Typical Installation and click OK to install Pegasus, the Proxy Providers, and PSM

automatically. The installation status is displayed on the user interface. Installation typically takes 6–8 minutes.

NOTE:

If a Pegasus CIMOM is already installed on the server and is version 2.7.0 or above, the installer will skip the CIMOM installation and integrate the provider set into the existing CIMOM installation.

If a Pegasus CIMOM is already installed on the server and is a version lower than 2.7.0, the installer will install CIMOM version 2.7.1, but would ensure that the existing CIMOM binaries and all the relevant folders are undisturbed. However, if the existing installation has Pegasus installed as a Windows service, the current installation will overwrite it. After the installation, the Pegasus service entry will refer to the CIMOM from this package, and the existing Pegasus CIMOM can only be run as a process and not as a Windows service. If the existing CIMOM is already using the default port 5989, the new CIMOM would choose a different port as described in Ports and the service utility (Windows only), page 15.

The x86 version of the provider set will not work with an x64 version of the CIMOM and hence while installing on an x64 server, if an x64 version of Pegasus CIMOM already exists, the installation would fail.

NOTE:

To select components or specify a different installation directory, select Custom Install and follow the instructions on the screen. Only the selected components will be installed.

6. After the installation script completes, you can validate the installation by verifying that the Pegasus

service is started in the Services window as shown in Figure 3, page 12.

7. Click View Logs to see the installation logs. For additional log files see:

• <systemdrive>/cpqsystem/log/Installbat.log — log of scripts run during install-

ation

• <systemdrive>/cpqsystem/log/msiexec_PSM.log — log of PSM msi installation

• <systemdrive>/cpqsystem/log/cp009873.log — log of SmartComponent installation

NOTE:

For a typical installation, Open Pegasus and Proxy Providers are installed into the HPMSAPegasus folder under the Windows system drive as shown in Figure 4, page 13. The Proxy Settings Manager is installed into Program Files or Program Files x64.

Linux

Figure 4 Pegasus installation directory

To uninstall the Proxy Provider:

1. Navigate to the Control Panel Add or Remove Programs window and uninstall the components

in the sequence listed.

2. To remove PSM, select HP StorageWorks MSA2000 SMI-S Proxy Settings Manager and then click

Remove.

3. To remove the Proxy Provider, select HP StorageWorks MSA2000 Proxy Provider for Windows

and then click Remove.

4. To remove Pegasus, select Open Pegasus and then click Remove.

The Linux package is bundled as a .tgz file, which includes the SMI-S Proxy Providers and PSM.

This version of Proxy providers has the following constraints defined:

• It has dependency on tog-pegasus rpm. This is required in SLES also. It does not use open-wbem

in SLES. Requires tog-pegasus version 2.7.0 or later.

MSA2000 G2 SMI-S Proxy Provider User Guide 13

• Port 5989 should be free and available for use by the Pegasus CIMOM.

To install the package:

1. 1. Untar the package using the following command:

tar -zxvf HPMSA2000_Proxy.tgz This creates the HPMSA2000_Proxy directory and extracts all of the files into it.

2. Navigate into the HPMSA2000_Proxy folder.

3. Execute the install script, ./install.sh, to install the Proxy Providers and PSM products.

The installation log is in the msaproxyinstall.log file.

To uninstall the package:

1. Navigate to the HPMSA2000_Proxy folder.

2. Execute the uninstall script, ./uninstall.sh, to uninstall the Proxy Providers and PSM products.

3 Configuring the Proxy Provider

The PSM is a CLI-based MSA storage management software tool that provides simple configuration and management tasks of the proxy providers. The PSM is installed as part of the SMI-S Proxy Provider.

The PSM provides the following device management options:

• Add a System

• Remove a System

• Discover Systems

• View Systems

• Clear Systems

• Manage a System

• Create a new Manage/Monitor user account

• Change the password of an existing user account

• Delete a user account

• Get or set Provider attributes

• Set Proxy Provider Timeout

• Set Indication Provider Polling Interval

• Set Loglevel

Use any of the following methods to launch the PSM:

• Click Launch PSM from the installer.

• Click the PSM short cut from the desktop.

• Execute msapsm.exe from the installation folder.

The tool executes as a standalone process. The tool requires Pegasus CIMOM to be installed on the system where it is executed. When the tool starts, PSM prompts for the IP address and the port number where the cimserver is running. A single session of the PSM application is associated with a specific cimserver. To change the cimserver IP, start a new PSM session. The MSA storage device must be added to the cimserver before it can be managed with PSM.

First-time configuration

MSA2000 G2 devices must be added to the proxy provider repository with PSM before the Proxy Provider can be configured to proxy MSA2000 G2 systems.

Ports and the service utility (Windows only)

By default, CIMOM listens on two ports - 5989 (to support SSL connections) and 5988 (to support non-SSL connections). For the SSL port, the installer contains a utility, called service, which attempts to use port 5989 for initiating the CIMOM for SSL connection. However, if that port is not available, it will try one of the following ports: 49152, 49153, 49154, 49155. If none of these ports are available, it will exit with an error.
