7. Click Next. The Step 4: Enter credentials page appears. The credentials specified on this page are
for a privileged account on the target system.
If you select Configure secure shell (SSH) access for a Windows target system, then the account you
specify must be a member of the local Administrators group. For Windows targets using a domain
account, the account is automatically added to this group.
8. From the Step 4: Enter credentials page, enter the following credentials. The credentials used in this
step must work for all selected target systems. HP recommends using domain administrator
credentials. Credentials entered here are not saved by Systems Insight Manager except to run a
scheduled task later.
a. Select one of the following radio buttons:
o Use sign-in credentials—these credentials must be a privileged account on the
managed system.
o Use the following credentials for all systems.
b. In the User name field, enter the system administrator name.
c. In the Password field, enter the system administrator password.
d. In the Password (verify) field, re-enter the system administrator password.
e. In the Domain field, if you are using a domain account enter the Windows domain.
9. Click Run Now. The Task Results page appears.
10. Click Schedule to run this task at a later time.
The Configure or Repair Agents tool can update multiple target systems. The log results indicate
whether the repair attempt was successful.
The Task Results page displays the following information:
o Status—This field displays the details for each target system within a task instance.
o Exit Code—This field represents the success or failure of an executable program. If the
return value is zero or positive, the executable ran successfully. If a negative value is
returned, the executable failed. This exit code does not indicate that all configuration
attempts were successful. It is possible for some to succeed and for some to fail.
o Target Name—This field displays the name and IP address of the target.
o stdout—This tab displays the output text information.
o stderr—This tab displays information if the executable experienced an error.
• View Printable Report—Reports can be printed for the currently selected target system
or for all target systems associated with the task instance.
To print a report:
a. Click View Printable Report. An Options Message box appears, asking if you
want to generate a report containing only the currently selected target system or
all systems associated with the task instance.
b. Select which report to display.
c. Click OK to display the report, or click Cancel to return to the View Task Results
page.
If the Management HTTP Server is installed on target systems, the login credentials are updated in the
Management HTTP Server password file.
As with other HP Systems Insight Manager tools, you can configure the Configure or Repair Agents
tool to run on a schedule or manually. Only one instance of Configure or Repair Agents tool can run
at a time.
Setting up managed storage systems
Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) is a Storage Networking Industry Association
(SNIA) standard that enables interoperable management for storage networks and storage devices.
Systems Insight Manager uses this standard to discover and manage the storage systems it supports.
