Toward the effort of completing the Compaq/HP merger, we are beginning the process of re-branding ProLiant servers as well as the products used to manage ProLiant servers. The Compaq Management Agents will be re-branded as the HP Insight Management Agents and Compaq Insight Manager 7 will be re-branded to Insight Manager 7. The newly renamed software will be referenced in pertinent documentation beginning with the release of SmartStart v6.00. As part of the re-branding process, you may notice some inconsistency between product user interfaces and documentation. For example, some screen captures, legacy applications, or, documents may still reference old product names or include pre-merger Compaq logos and icons. In all cases, the name "Compaq Management Agents" is equivalent to "HP Insight Management Agents" and "Compaq Insight Manager 7" is equivalent to "Insight Manager 7". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.

Introduction The "Compaq Server Agents - Linux" software release contains Server Agents program and related files for Linux. The Compaq Server Agents take advantage of the systems management capabilities of Compaq servers. This release supports Red Hat Linux 8.0 Professional, Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 (SLES-7). 2. Documentation Updates and Corrections None. Note: This section contains information on known errors and omissions in other documentation. The information in this section is more up-to-date than that in other documentation. 3. Known Issues None. 4. Supported Linux Installations Following Linux installations are supported by this release: a. Red Hat Linux 8.0 Professional Server default installation plus "ucd-snmp" and "ucd-snmp-utils" RPMs from Compaq. Note: If default "High" or "Medium" firewall configuration was selected during the installation of Red Hat Linux 8.0 Professional, external SNMP requests and HTTP requests to Web agent will be "REJECTED" by the system and the server will become unmanageable. There are significant security implications to configuring firewall and the ipfw(4), iptables(8), iptables-save(8) and iptables-restore(8) manpages should be regarded as mandatory reading before making any change to firewall configuration. The system should start "ACCEPT"ing SNMP requests (e.g. from CIM or other management consoles) and HTTP requests to Web agent with following commands: #iptables -I INPUT -s 16.101.168.68/255.255.255.255 \ -d 16.101.169.69/255.255.255.255 \ --sport 161 --dport 161 \ -i eth0 -p udp -j ACCEPT #iptables -I INPUT -s 16.101.168.68/255.255.255.255 \ -d 16.101.169.69/255.255.255.255 \ --sport 2381 --dport 2381 \ -i eth0 -p tcp -j ACCEPT #iptables -I INPUT -s 16.101.168.68/255.255.255.255 \ -d 16.101.169.69/255.255.255.255 \ --sport 2301 --dport 2301 \ -i eth0 -p tcp -j ACCEPT Where 1. "16.101.168.68" is the IP Address of remote system running management console (or issuing SNMP requests) or running the Web Browser. 2. "16.101.169.69" is the IP Address of the interface "eth0" of the server running Red Hat Linux 8.0 Professional. b. Red Hat Linux Advance Server 2.1 default installation plus "ucd-snmp" and "ucd-snmp-utils" RPMs from Compaq. Note: If default "High" or "Medium" firewall configuration was selected during the installation of Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1, external SNMP requests and HTTP requests to Web agent will be "REJECTED" by the system and the server will become unmanageable. There are significant security implications to configuring firewall and the ipfw(4), ipchains(8), ipchains-save(8) and ipchains-restore(8) manpages should be regarded as mandatory reading before making any change to firewall configuration. The system should start "ACCEPT"ing SNMP requests (e.g. from CIM or other management consoles) and HTTP requests to Web agent with following commands: #ipchains -I input -s 16.101.168.68/255.255.255.255 \ -d 16.101.169.69/255.255.255.255 161:161 \ -i eth0 -p udp -j ACCEPT #ipchains -I input -s 16.101.168.68/255.255.255.255 \ -d 16.101.169.69/255.255.255.255 2381 \ -i eth0 -p tcp -j ACCEPT #ipchains -I input -s 16.101.168.68/255.255.255.255 \ -d 16.101.169.69/255.255.255.255 2301 \ -i eth0 -p tcp -j ACCEPT Where 1. "16.101.168.68" is the IP Address of remote system running management console (or issuing SNMP requests) or running the Web Browser. 2. "16.101.169.69" is the IP Address of the interface "eth0" of the server running Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1. c. SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 (SLES-7) installations plus "ucdsnmp" RPM from Compaq. 5.
