Data Collection Setup
Metrics are collected via the HPE Compute Chassis Onboard Administrator (OA)
and HPE Virtual Connect Manager (VCM) for virtual networking on HPE Chassis.
Network Requirements
Port: 22 (TCP) to connect to the OA and VCM.
Least Privileged User
Assiging HP OA User Permissions via UI
- Log in to your HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator console as an administrator, then navigate to Systems and Devices -> User/Authentication -> Local Users, and select the user you plan to use for your management pack credentials.
- Ensure the following settings are configured:
Privilege Level: Select user.
User Enabled: Ensure this checkbox is selected.
Device & Interconnect Bay Access: Ensure all bays are selected.
- Click Update User to save your settings.
Assigning HP OA User Permissions via CLI
To create your OA user with "User" Privilege Level from the command-line interface:
- Log in to your HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator as an administrator.
- Run the following commands:
ADD USER <username> <password>
SET USER ACCESS "<username>" USER
Assigning HP VCM Permission via GUI
-
Log in to your HPE Virtual Connect Manager console as an administrator, then navigate to Domain Settings > User/Authentication > Local Users.
-
Click +Add. In the Add Local User window that appears, enter the following information:
Username
Password
Confirm Password
Do not select any roles
Under Roles, do not select any options. A read-only user will be created by default if no role is selected.
- Click Add & Close to save your read-only user.
Assigning HP VCM Permissions via CLI
- Log in to your HPE VCM as an administrator.
- Run the following commands to create a read-only VCM user:
add user ROuser
- At the prompts, enter and verify the password you want associated with your read-only user:
- After you have successfully created your read-only user, you can view details about it by using the following command:
show user ROuser
Output:
By default no specific roles or role operations are assigned to a read-only user.
