HP SIM V5.1 User Guide (356920-009, January 2007)

a. From the managed system, be sure WBEM is already installed.
Note: Subscribing to WBEM Indications/Events on managed systems is optional.
b. Verify that SysFaultMgmt provider is installed:
cimprovider –ls
You should see EMSWrapperProviderModule.
c. From the CMS:
To subscribe to WBEM Events, you must have root access. If the Global Protocol Setting does not
match the managed system or does not contain root access, the subscription for WBEM Indications
fails. You can verify what access WBEM has by running the following command line:
mxnodesecurity –l –p wbem –n <systemname>
If the managed system does not have a root level user credential configured, you can add it for
the individual system.
Note: You can use the Configure or Repair Agents tool to perform this step without permanently
recording a root password.
• To change the individual system:
mxnodesecurity -a -p WBEM -c \
<username:password> -n <systemname>
d. From the CMS, run the WBEM Indications/Events command line:
mxwbemsub -l -n <systemname>
See “Subscribing to WBEM indications” for more information.
Your managed nodes are now ready to be managed by HP SIM

Setting up managed systems from a Windows CMS
Use the following checklist as a guideline to assist you with setting up managed systems from a Windows
Central Management Server (CMS):
1. Make sure that HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is installed on the CMS.
2. Make sure that the First Time Wizard has been completed on the CMS. See “First Time Wizard” for
more information.
Important: Discovery must be run before setting up managed systems. See “Running a discovery task”
for more information. Configuring Automatic Discovery is part of the First Time Wizard.
3. Make sure that managed systems have the HP Version Control Agent (VCA) installed before running
the Configure or Repair Agents feature to configure them.
If the VCA has never been installed on the managed systems, see Installing the HP ProLiant Support
Pack on Windows systems for the first time.
