• Model (Model) . The device model. Any displayable text can be used as a value for this
attribute.

text can be used as a value for this attribute.
In addition to the predefined options, HP SIM plug-in extension applications can define their own
system attributes.
XML file support
If HP SIM detects a formatting error when processing an XML input file, processing is interrupted,
an error message is issued, and the database is not changed. See the Examples section and the
mxnode(4) manpage for more information about XML input files.
Options
-a hostname(s)|ipaddress(es)
Specify one or more systems to add. You can use the hostname or IP address.
Hostnames may or may not be fully-qualified, and are resolved internally.
Identification will also run.
-m systemname(s)
Specify one or more systems to modify and re-identify. You can enter one or more
system names.
-m -f filename
Specify that the systems to modify are in an xml file. The contents and format of the
xml file are shown in the Examples section. See mxnode(4) for additional
information about using XML input files with mxnode.
This is the only option that enables MPO or Contract and Warranty data residing
in an XML file to be recognized and evaluated. MPO and Contract and Warranty
data within the XML is not available with -a because a system must first exist before
the MPO or Contract and Warranty data can be added or modified. MPO or
Contract and Warranty data for a system can be added, modified or removed only
through the use of an external XML file. This data cannot be specified directly on
the command line for add, modify or remove operations.
-f filename
Specify a filename containing systems to be added, modified, or removed. The
contents and format of the xml file are shown in the Examples section. See
mxnode(4) for additional information about using XML input files with mxnode.
-w
Force mxnode to wait until the specified nodes have actually been added to the
database. Using this option ensures that any subsequent operations related to the
added nodes will succeed because the nodes are guaranteed to exist in the
database. Using the wait option will cause an mxnode add or modify operation
