contains the XML shown in the example.
Event management
You can use HP SIM to manage alerts from the systems you are managing. HP SIM accepts SNMP traps
and WBEM indications. This section discusses how to use the CLI to manage traps and indications. For this
discussion, the term event refers to either an SNMP trap or a WBEM indication.
Configuring HP SIM
In Inventory management, the Configuring HP SIM section discusses how to use
mxglobalprotocolsettings and mxnodesecurity to configure SNMP and WBEM authorization
credentials which is important for WBEM because root authorization is required to subscribe to WBEM event
notifications (indications.)
WBEM
The mxwbemsub command enables you to manage WBEM indication subscriptions for managed systems
that are able to send WBEM indications. Each managed server must have WBEM Services (B8465BA) and
the System Fault Management (SysFaultMgmt) products installed to enable WBEM indications. Storage
devices that support SMI-S configured to send WBEM, can also send indications.
A WBEM subscription tells the managed system where to send indications using the WBEM protocol. To
create a subscription, use one of the following commands:
# mxwbemsub –a [destCMS] –n nodenames
# mxwbemsub –a [destCMS] –f nodefile.txt
• The –n option specifies the system names on the command line.
• The –f option specifies a file that contains the system names.
When using a file, each system name must be on a separate line. The destCMS parameter (optional) tells
the systems you are subscribing where to send the indications. If you do not provide the destCMS parameter,
the indications are sent to the system where the mxwbemsub command is executed.
To remove a subscription, replace the –a option with the –r option. Removing a subscription means the
systems on the command line or in the file no longer sends WBEM indications to the specified CMS.
To list the subscriptions for systems, replace the –a option with the –l option. If you provide the destCMS
parameter (optional), the subscriptions for CMS destCMS also appears. The mxwbemsub command also
enables you to move WBEM subscriptions from one CMS to another. The command syntax is:
# mxwbemsub –m [currentCMS] newCMS –n nodenames
# mxwbemsub –m [currentCMS] newCMS –f nodefile.txt
This command moves the WBEM subscription from currentCMS to newCMS for the systems on the command
line (using –n), or for the systems in the text file (using –f). The parameter currentCMS is optional, and if
omitted the WBEM subscription is moved from the current system to newCMS.
SNMP
You must configure each managed system SNMP trap destination to point to the CMS. After completing the
configuration, HP SIM can receive SNMP traps.
There are two commands for managing SNMP MIB information. The mcompile command compiles SNMP
MIB files into an intermediate format, called a cfg file. For example, the command:
# mcompile [-d mibdir] mibfile.mib
compiles the mibfile.mib file into an intermediate file, called mibfile.cfg. If you provide the d option,
the mibfile.mib must reside in the directory mibdir. If the MIB file contains IMPORTS from other MIB
