Configuring managed systems
The Configure Managed Systems page in the First Time Wizard enables you to configure managed
systems as they are discovered and to specify parameters for running the Configure or Repair Agents.
All steps are optional and can be configured from the Systems Insight Manager Options menu at a
later time. To skip this step, click Next to go to the next First Time Wizard step.
To configure managed systems from the First Time Wizard Configure Managed Systems page:
1. Select Configure newly managed systems when they are first discovered.
2. To specify credentials to configure the managed system for WBEM/WMI, SNMP, and SSH, select
from the following:
– Use the sign in credentials already entered in Systems Insight Manager. This account should
be an account with administrative privileges.
– Use these credentials. Select this option to use another user name and password pair other
than the one entered into Systems Insight Manager.
3. Under Configure WBEM/WMI, select from the following:
– Create subscriptions for WBEM events.
– Send a test WBEM or WMI indication to this instance of HP Systems Insight Manager to ensure
that events appear in Systems Insight Manager events lists.
– Use a Systems Insight Manager WBEM certificate (good for 10 years) rather than
username/password to manage the system.
4. Under Configure SNMP, select from the following:
– Set read community strings.
– Set traps to refer to this instance of HP Systems Insight Manager.
– Send a test SNMP trap to this instance of HP Systems Insight Manager to make sure events
appear in the HP Systems Insight Manager events lists.
5. Under Configure secure shell (SSH) access, select from the following:
– Host based authentication. All users from this instance of Systems Insight Manager are
authorized on the managed system.
– Each user has to be authenticated on the managed system. Each user must be authenticated
on the managed system.
6. Select Trust relationship to set a trust relationship between managed systems and CMS. This
enables Systems Insight Manager users to connect to HP SMH, Onboard Administrator, iLO
(version 2 and later), and HP VCA using the Systems Insight Manager certificate for
authentication.
7. To go to the next First Time Wizard step, click [Next]; or to return to the previous step, click
[Previous].
Configuring WMI Mapper
WBEM is used by Systems Insight Manager to identify and communicate with managed systems.
Therefore, on Windows systems, a WMI Mapper Proxy must be configured for this communication to
take place.
1. Enter the WMI Mapper Proxy host name and port number. The user name and password
credentials must be entered on the First Time Wizard Configure Managed Systems page.
2. To go to the next First Time Wizard step, click [Next]; or to return to the previous step, click
[Previous].
