To subscribe to WBEM Events, you must have root access. You can verify what credentials

are used for WBEM access by running the following command line:

mxnodesecurity –l –p wbem –n <systemname>

If the managed system does not have a root level user credential configured, you can add it

for the individual system.

NOTE: You can use the Configure or Repair Agents tool in the HP SIM UI to perform this

step without permanently recording a root password.

• To change the individual system:

mxnodesecurity -a -p WBEM -c \

<username:password> -n <systemname>

online help.

Setting up Linux servers to be managed by HP SIM

To be fully managed by HP SIM, HP ProLiant servers running Linux should have the Insight

Management Advisor installed. These agents are part of the ProLiant Support Pack. You can install

the ProLiant Support Pack manually, or configure it to be installed as part of your normal operating

system deployment procedures.

After setting up the management agents on the managed systems, the rest of the configuration can

be done from the HP SIM UI. Continue to Chapter 4 “Credentials” (page 36) for further information.
