HP Systems Insight Manager 6.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

5. Configure email settings.
Email settings enables users to receive email notification of certain events. To configure email settings,
select Options→Events→Automatic Event Handling→Email Settings.
6. Set up automatic event handling.
Automatic event handling defines the action that Systems Insight Manager performs when an event is
received. To setup automatic event handling, select Options→Events→Automatic Event
Handling→New Task.
7. Configure and execute discovery.
Discovery is the process that Systems Insight Manager uses to find and identify the systems on your
network and populate the database with that information. To configure and execute a discovery, you
must create a Discovery task. Systems Insight Manager ships with one default discovery task (Discovery).
However, you can create a new discovery task to discover specific systems.
To configure Discovery, select Options→Discovery.
8. Configure the WMI Mapper.
For Systems Insight Manager to manage Windows systems, the WMI Mapper as Proxy must be configured
and correctly identified.
You must install the Pegasus WMI Mapper service on a Windows operating system. After installing the
WMI Mapper, configure Systems Insight Manager to identify the WMI Mapper system by performing
the following steps:
a. Enter the correct user and password for identifying the WMI Mapper node in the Global Protocol
Settings page.
b. Select Options→Protocol Settings→WMI Mapper Proxy. The WMI Mapper Proxy page appears.
c. Click New. The Add WMI Mapper Proxy page appears.
d. Enter the IP address or the host name in the Host: field where OpenPegasus WMI Mapper is
installed, and enter the port number where the WMI Mapper is installed in the Port number field.
e. After identification is complete, be sure the Properties Page link on the System Page for the WMI
Mapper node appears, and click the link to open the Properties page.
For more information on the Options menu items, see the Systems Insight Manager help system.

Procedure 4-2 Configuring HP-UX manually
1. Configure SNMP to send traps to the CMS.
a. Add the full host name or IP address of the CMS as a trap-dest in the following file:
trap-dest: hostname or ip_address
b. Stop the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the command:
/sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster stop
2. Set trust relationship to Trust by Certificate. For more information, see System Management Homepage
Online Help at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/agents/
documentation.html.
3. Configure secure shell (SSH) access.
On the CMS, copy the SSH-generated public key from the CMS to the managed system using the
mxagentconfig command:
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
