Configuring SHO

Configuring SHO

SHO configuration is divided into three parts:

General

SHO enables you to set various thresholds that will be used for optimization analysis. Additionally, it enables you to define the reference VM sizes and custom VM configurations.

You can also set filters for OM Node Groups. Additionally, you can see the licensing information in this section.

To open the General tab, click Configuration > General on the menu bar.

This section covers the following topics:

Database

You can configure the details of the database to which SHO is connected.

To configure the database details:

  1. Click Configuration > Database. The DB Configuration window opens.
  2. Define the SHO database details.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Click Restart SH Optimizer. This restarts the SHO application server hosted on HP OpenView Tomcat server.
    Click Cancel to exit without saving the changes.

    Note: If you change the SHO database password in the Administration Console, you must update the password in the DB Configuration window too. Failure to do so may result in SHO Users’ Interface showing blank graphs.

User Management in SHO

SHO uses an open source component, Shiro, for user management. SHO supports authentication for local users and LDAP users.

SHO has default credentials to enable users to login immediately after SHO installation is completed.

However, SHO allows you to change the default user credentials.

Changing the default password for existing users
Enabling a local user to access SHO
Enabling authentication for LDAP users
