The kill option is not currently supported from a partner application. Connect to the managed system directly,
and enter the kill command.

A limited rights user cannot see or select some of Custom Tool tools that were assigned to them when using
a Mozilla browser. There is a limitation of the number of tools that can be displayed with a screen resolution
of 1024 x 768. Typically, the screen is limited to 25 to 35 tools, depending on font sizes and so on.

When launching an HP SIM tool in an external window, you might not have the same user privileges that
you had in HP SIM.

When you are using the mxnodesecuritymxnodesecurity command on an HP-UX system to add a system
from a different domain, the command does not work properly. For example, if you enter
mxnodesecurity -a -p wbem -c openview\wmi:wmi -n testnode10
the single backslash between openview and wmi is missing.
The UNIX shell environment recognizes the single backslash as an escape character. If you want to add a
system from a different domain, add another backslash for it to be recognized. For example,
mxnodesecurity -a -p wbem -c openview\\wmi:wmi -n testnode10
.

On HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23 systems, the mxinitconfig command displays a warning if kernel parameters
are set in hexadecimal.

There are now two versions of the Kernal Configuration and Peripheral Device web-based tools for HP-UX
systems:
• PeriphDev version B.11.23.05.02 and KernelConfig version B.11.23.20 integrate with SMH v. 2.2.1.4
on HTTPS port 2381 and will be first available on the HP-UX 11iV2 0512 OE/UR release.
• PeriphDev version B.11.23.03 and KernelConfig version B.11.23.10 use the WA server on port 1110
and are generally available on HP-UX 11iV2 releases prior to HP-UX 11iV2 0512 OE/UR.
The menu items Kernal Configuration (kcweb) and Peripheral Devices (pd web) in HP SIM are configured
to run whichever version is installed on the CMS.
NOTE: If the target system you select to run it on has a different version of kcweb or pdweb installed which
uses the other port, you might receive an error.
Kcweb version B.11.23.20 and pdweb version B.11.23.05.02 which connect to port 2381, have autostart
already enabled. However, if you are running kcweb version B.11.23.10 or pdweb version B.11.23.03
which connect to port 1110, to launch these tools using HP SIM, you must enable autostart for that port by
executing the following procedure on each managed system running this version of the tool.
The WA server also supports an auto-start option that enables you to start the server on HTTPS port 1188
remotely through the auto-start HTTP port 1110. This auto-start option must be configured using the waconf
command to use kcweb and pdweb tools from HP SIM. Additionally, if you are using Network Information
System (NIS), you might have to configure the search order for services using HP Storage Area Manager
(SAM), because WA uses /etc/services to register port 1110.
