Step 1

Creating a New CMS Tool

The CMS Tool allows

you to launch an application or a script on the central management server

running HP SIM. CMS tools can pass environment variables (parameters) to the launched application

to make it perform as expected. Typical uses include launching a custom pager utili

ty or a ROM

flashing utility. You can use the Automatic Event Handling feature in HP SIM to configure this tool to

run when events are received.

At the main HP SIM window, in the

top menu bar click
