Check CMS to managed node communication

This task checks the communication between the CMS and selected managed systems. When troubleshooting your Insight Dynamics configuration, perform the “Check CMS configuration” (page 25) task first, to make sure that you do not have any unresolved CMS configuration issues. Then use this task to resolve communication issues with managed systems where you are having problems. Some of the problems detected with this option include expired licenses, no open WBEM ports, and improperly configured SSH authentication. These checks will verify whether the CMS can communicate with the managed systems in order to perform management functions.

Procedure 4-2 Check the communication between the CMS and managed systems

1.Optional: Select the managed systems where you are having problems. You can select systems by checking the selection box next to each system name in the Visualization View in Virtualization Manager. If you prefer, you can start this task with no systems selected. In that case, you are prompted to select the systems from the available HP SIM system collections after the next step below.
