HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 Command Line Interface Guide

# mxngroup –m –g grp –n n4 n2 n3 ; replace n1 with n4.
# mxngroup –m –g grp –n n5 ; n5 is the only member of the group
# mxngroup –m –g grp –n n5 n4 n3 n2 ; add n4, n3, n2 to the group
Use caution when modifying groups from the command line, as the second example illustrates, the –m option
is replacing systems in the group.
Using XML syntax to modify a group is more reliable, especially when the group contains many members.
To modify a group that is described in a file called grp.xml, enter:
# mxngroup –m –f grp.xml
The same rules apply when replacing systems using XML syntax.
To remove a system group, or several system groups, use one of the following commands:
# mxngroup –r –g grp ; remove group “grp”
# mxngroup –r –f grprm.xml ; remove groups listed in XML file “grprm.xml”
When modifying or removing system groups, HP SIM modifies or removes, respectively, any authorizations
associated with the groups.
Using the mxngroup command you can display group information by group name or group members, for
example:
# mxngroup –l [d | f | m | n] –g grpname
# mxngroup –l [d | f | m | n] –n member
The first command displays information about group grpname. The second command displays information
for all the groups that contain the member. If you omit the –g grpname or –n member options, then the
information for all system groups in HP SIM appear.
The optional parameters define the formatting style and amount of information displayed.
• The –d— option displays detailed, screen-viewable listing of group information.
• The –f— option displays group information in XML format.
• The –m— option displays the members of the group.
• The –n— option displays the names of the system groups.
Managing toolboxes
The mxtoolbox command enables you to add, modify, remove, or list toolboxes in HP SIM. For a complete
description of mxtoolbox, see the mxtoolbox man page. For a complete description of the XML syntax
required to manage toolboxes using an XML file, see the mxtoolbox(4) man page.
Toolboxes are an integral part of creating authorizations in HP SIM. A toolbox contains a set o fHP SIM
tools that one or more users can run on the systems they are authorized to manage. An example of using
toolboxes is to create a toolbox containing tools that apply only to HP-UX systems and a toolbox containing
tools that apply only to Windows operatng systems. This enables HP-UX and Windows administrators using
HP SIM to only see the tools they need.
HP SIM has four predefined toolboxes, All Tools, Monitor Tools, Full Rights, and Limited Rights.
• All Tools contains all the predefined tools, and cannot be modified.
• Monitor Tools contains tools that monitor, display, view, and report information, and can be modified.
• Full Rights toolbox contains all the tools in the Central Management Server.
• Limited Rights toolbox contains only the create and edit reports and tools.
When you install HP Storage Essentials, a toolbox for Storage Essentials tools is added to HP SIM.
The following examples add, modify, and remove toolboxes, respectively:
# mxtoolbox –a tbname [–d description] [–e t|f]; add toolbox “tbname”
# mxtoolbox –m tbname [–d description] [–N newtbname] [–e t|f]; modify toolbox
“tbname”
