c. Configure SNMP to send traps to the CMS:

i. Add the full host name or IP address of the CMS as a trapdest in the following file:

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf

trap-dest: hostname_or_ip_address

ii. Stop the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the command:

/sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster stop

iii. Restart the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the command:

/usr/sbin/snmpd

d. Configure DMI on the managed system by adding the DNS host name of the CMS.

Note: DMI must only be configured for HP-UX 11.0.

i. Stop the DMI daemon on the managed system:

/sbin/init.d/Dmisp stop

ii. Edit /var/dmi/dmiMachines by adding the host name of the CMS to the end of this file.

Save the file.

iii. Start the DMI daemon:

/sbin/init.d/Dmisp start

e. On the CMS, copy the SSH-generated public key from the CMS to the managed system using the

mxagentconfig:

Use one of the following commands:

• mxagentconfig -a -n <hostname> -u root -f <file_with_root_password>

• mxagentconfig -a -n <hostname> -u root -p <root_password>

Note: Using the -p option exposes the password through ps output, so use of the -f option

(with a file only readable by root, and containing only the managed system root password)

is highly recommended when using mxagentconfig -a. If the -p option is used, enclose

the password in single quotes if the password has any special characters, such as & or $. For

more information and options, see the mxagentconfig manpage with man

mxagentconfig.

3. Sign in to the HP Systems Insight Manager GUI. For assistance with this, see “Signing in”. Using the

GUI, add the default WBEM user name and password to the Global Protocol Settings page.

Note: An account for at least one of the WBEM user name and password combinations must exist on

each managed system.

Note: This step can be performed once for all the managed systems you are setting up.

a. Select Options→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol Settings.

b. In the Default WBEM settings section, ensure that the Enable WBEM checkbox is selected, and

add the default WBEM user name, password, and confirmation password.

c. Click OK.

Note: An account for at least one of the WBEM user name and password combinations must exist on

each managed system. If the user in the Global Protocol Settings does not exist on the managed node

you can set per-system WBEM user names and passwords from the System Protocol Settings page.

4. To subscribe to WBEM Indications/Events:
