HP P6000 manual Single sign-on from HP Systems Insight Manager

Reestablishing communication with a password-protected storage system

A communication problem between an instance of server-based HP P6000 Command View and a password-protected storage system can be caused when the stored password in HP P6000 Command View does not match the password that is set on a storage system. This can occur when:

•The password on a storage system has been changed.

•Controller software on a storage system has been updated to a newer version.

If you believe that a password mismatch is causing a communication problem with a storage system, proceed as follows to synchronize the passwords.

1.In HP P6000 Command View, clear the stored password for the effected storage system. See

nl

“Disabling management of a password-protected storage system” (page 18).

2.On the affected storage system, clear the password using the operator control panel (OCP). See the user guide for your array model.

3.On the management server, stop and then restart the HP P6000 Command View service.

4.On the affected storage system, enter the new password using the OCP. See the user guide for your array model.

5.In HP P6000 Command View, store the new password for the affected storage system. See “Enabling management of a password-protected storage system” (page 17).

Single sign-on from HP Systems Insight Manager

Single sign-on (SSO) enables you to have a single login from HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) by establishing a trust relationship with HP P6000 Command View. A user on HP SIM can go directly to HP P6000 Command View without having to re-enter a user name and password. The access level of the HP SIM account is passed to HP P6000 Command View; therefore, an account with administrator rights in HP SIM will have administrator rights in HP P6000 Command View and a user account in HP SIM will have user rights in HP P6000 Command View.

Perform the following steps to use single sign-on from HP SIM to HP P6000 Command View:

1.From the HP P6000 Command View management server:

a.Open HP P6000 Command View GUI at https://localhost:2374

b.Click the Settings tab.

c.Click Management options.

d.Under Security Options, select SIM/RSM trust relationships.

e.Click Install certificate.

f.Select System Insight Manager as type.

g.Enter 280 as the SIM Server IP address port.

h.Provide the necessary details, and then click Install certificate.

i.Return to the Server options page, and click Other Application Trust relationships.

j.Determine whether the HPEVA_SMIS_Provider certificate is installed. If it is not, install the certificate as follows:

i.Click Install certificate.

ii.Provide an application name, such as SSO.

iii.Browse to <install_path>\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\EVAProvider\ config\HPSMISSSO.cert
