HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

Note: For more information about HP-UX WBEM events, go to the

WBEM Event Subscriptions for HP-UX

systems managed by HP SIM 5.0

white paper at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/

management/hpsim/infolibrary.html.

• From the managed system, be sure WBEM is already installed.

Note: Subscribing to WBEM Indications/Events on managed systems is optional.

Verify that SysFaultMgmt provider is installed:

cimprovider –ls

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>

From the CMS, run the WBEM Indications/Events command line:

mxwbemsub -l -n <systemname>

management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more information.

Install WBEM on the managed system if not previously installed.

swinstall -s /directory/depot B8465BA

where directory is the path to the depot file and depot is the name of the depot file. For example:

swinstall -s /tmp/HPSIM_download.depot B8465BA

▲ Configure DMI on HP-UX 11.0 systems

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.

Stop the DMI daemon on the managed system:

/sbin/init.d/Dmisp stop

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

Save the file.

Start the DMI daemon:

/sbin/init.d/Dmisp start
