HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux

It is important that you plan which systems each user is going to manage and which specific
set of tools the users are authorized to execute against the managed systems. A user with no
toolbox authorizations on a system cannot view or manage that system.
Authorizations are additive. If a user is authorized on Toolbox1 on a system and is also
authorized for Toolbox2 on the same system, the user is authorized for all tools in both Toolbox1
and Toolbox2 on that system. Similarly, a user authorized for the All Tools toolbox needs no
other toolbox authorization on that system because the All Tools toolbox always includes all
tools.
To add authorizations, select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Authorizations,
and then click New.
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 includes 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.
In order for Systems Insight Manager to manage Windows systems, you must install the Pegasus
WMI Mapper service on a Windows system. To configure the WMI Mapper, select
Options→Protocol Settings→WMI Mapper Proxy.
For more information on the Options menu items, see the Systems Insight Manager help system.
Setting up Linux managed systems manually
You can use the Systems Insight Manager Configure or Repair Agents tool to configure Linux
managed systems simultaneously, or you can configure each managed system manually.
To manually configure Linux managed systems, perform the following on each managed system:
