HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Command Line Interface reference guide

-t fc|fcd
Forces the removal of the specified default or global credentials that might be currently in
use by one or more nodes or systems. The fd option completely removes the default or
global credential which might result in the loss of communications with the associated
systems. The fcd option, copies the credential to any system(s) using the credential first,
preserving communications with the systems.
-n nodename
Specify a node name. This should be the fully-qualified name, if available. This option is
used with -a, -r, and -l. If the "@defaultN" type format is used for the nodename value,
then mxnodesecurity assumes that a default or global type credential is being specified,
where the N value indicates a specific default or global credential as viewed or referenced
in a credentials listing –l output.

Examples
Example 1
To add a WBEM credential to the HP SIM credentials database for the node mycomputer.ak.hp.com , enter
mxnodesecurity -a -p wbem -c username:password -n mycomputer.ak.hp.com. The
username and password are defined uniquely for mycomputer.ak.hp.com .
Example 2
To add a WBEM credential to the the HP SIM credentials database for the node mycomputer.ak.hp.com and
a specify a port number of 5990 , enter mxnodesecurity -a -p wbem -c username:password
-n mycomputer.ak.hp.com:5990. The username and password are defined uniquely for
mycomputer.ak.hp.com .
Example 3
To add a default/global type credential to the Systems Insight Manager database of specified protocol.,
enter mxnodesecurity -a -p protocol -c username:password. When adding default or global credentials, you
can specify any protocol name, except for WBEM. A username and password are required for any protocol.
NOTE: A node name is not needed when you add default credentials, because default credentials apply
to all nodes. Default credentials for the sign-in protocol are limited to 10. Default credential names use the
format @defaultN , where N is an automatically assigned numerical value in the range of 1–10. If you try
to add more than ten default sign-in credentials, a warning message appears and the default credential is
not added.
Example 4
To add a default or global credential to the HP SIM database with a specified sign-in protocol, enter
mxnodesecurity -a -p sign-in|signin -c username:password. A sign-in credential is a
special independent credential protocol used to sign into the managed system.
