HP SIM 5.3
- Support for display of IPv6 addresses HP SIM can display IPv6 address on the System page and data collection reports for the systems that are IPv6 enabled.
- Improved Linux identification HP SIM uses SSH to gather basic system hardware information. Therefore, Linux is better identified because SSH gathers the serial number, product name, and UUID information.
- Improved discovery and identification of ESX hosts HP SIM identifies ESX hosts, as a system type or subtype, through SSH identification if every other protocol fails. You must include a working user name and password pair for all ESX hosts configured in HP SIM.
- Credentials management improvement A new sign-in credential is introduced. This credential can be used to sign into managed systems and is protocol independent. Each discovery task can have its own set of credentials, resulting in faster discoveries process, because all possible credentials don't have to be included in global credentials. The Configure or Repair Agents tool has been extended so that it can use the Sign-in credentials associated with each system instead of one common credential. This enables the tool to successfully run on a set of systems that do not share a single credential.
- Additional hypervisor support Xen host and guest identification and association.
- DTF enhancements HP SIM uses privilege elevation tools such as su and sudo to run tools on remote HP-UX, Linux, and ESX systems.
HP SIM provides login to a remote system with one unprivileged user and then elevates the privilege to run the tools.
Can launch tools on AIX and Solaris.
- Manual discovery Manual discovery is available on the New Discovery section by selecting Discover a single system. Task results are available for single system discovery.
- License usability enhancements Usability enhancements made to License Manager including:
- Easier view of available licenses
- Enhanced licensing information gathering
