HP Systems Insight Manager 7.1 Command Line Interface Guide

If you do not specify any options, as shown in the first example, all your incomplete jobs appear.
• The –l n option lists job IDs only.
• The -l t option lists job information in a tabular format, providing task name, job ID, HP
SIM user, HP SIM tool name, and the job state. The –i and –j options are mutually exclusive.
◦ Use the –i option to display the data for any job associated with for one or more task
names.
◦ Use the –j option to display information for one or more job IDs.
The -j option is not needed in conjunction with -l n, because the -l n option only displays
job IDs.
• Use the –d date option to limit displaying information to those jobs that completed after the
date parameter. You must use the following format for the date parameter:
“Month/day/year hour:minute AM | PM”
For the CLI to interpret the string as one parameter, including the embedded spaces, you must
use the quotation marks shown in the example. In the third example, the -l d option displays
detailed information about the job ID listed with the –j option. You can use specify one job,
and the command displays the completion status of each target system, as well as stdout, and
stderr information.
Managing users and authorizations
In HP SIM, an authorization is comprised of three components: the user, the set of systems the user
is managing, and the set of tools the user can use on the set of systems. This section discusses using
the CLI to manage users, toolboxes, and authorizations.
Managing users
The mxuser command enables you to add, modify, remove, or list users in HP SIM. A full
description for mxuser exists in the mxuser man page, and a full description of the XML syntax
required to manage users with an XML file exists in the mxuser(4) man page.
The mxuser –a user command adds the user with the login name of user to HP SIM. The user must
exist as a user on the operating system to log in to HP SIM, but does not need to exist to be added
to HP SIM. In this example, the user has limited access rights and no authorizations.
• The –d description option enables you to provide a description of the user, such as the user
role, like Database Administrator, or HPUX Server Manager. For example:
# mxuser –a Jane –d HPUX Administrator
• The –p full CMSSecurity | limited | none option enables you to specify the rights
of the user. A full rights user has unlimited access HP SIM capabilities. A limited rights user
can create tools in HP SIM, and none rights user, has access to the listing options of HP SIM
commands.
• The –C source option is useful when creating several users with the same authorizations.
For more information, see “Managing authorizations” (page 153).
• The –g userGroup option can replace user in the –a option to create a user group. Use the
–d and –p options to provide a description and access rights for the group.
• The –m user option, used in conjunction with –d and –p, enables you to modify the
description and access rights of the user. In the example above, to modify Jane's description,
the command will look like:
# mxuser –m Jane –d Database Administrator;
