HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 Command Line Interface Guide

If you attempt to remove a global credential that is currently in use, the CLI displays an error
message, indicating that the credential was not removed and describing the two methods ([-x])
that can be used to forcefully remove the credential.
— To forcefully remove a global credential without copying the credential, use the -x option
with the following argument:
mxnodesecurity -r -p protoName [-x {forceDelete | fd}]
This option can cause loss of communications with some systems. You must fun
identification or discovery to attempt to re-establish working system credentials.
— To first copy the credential, then forcefully remove the global credential, use the -x option
with the following argument:
mxnodesecurity -r -p protoName [-x {forceCopyDelete | fd}]
mxnodesecurity -r -p protoName -n @default1 [-x {forceCopyDelete | fd}]
• mxnodesecurity -l [-p protocol ] [-n nodename ]
If the user omits the node name during a remove operation, all default/global credentials for
the supplied protocol are removed from the Systems Insight Manager database.
The list option enables you to list both default or global and node or system type credentials
stored in the Systems Insight Manager credentials database. You can specify a protocol or a
node name to filter the list results.
If the list option is used with the protocol option, all nodes with credentials of the specified
protocol are listed. If the list option is used with the node option, the node is located, and all
credentials for that node, regardless of protocol, are listed. If the node and protocol options
are used together, the node will be displayed only if credentials for the specified protocol
exist.
Options
-a
Add or modify credentials in the Systems Insight Manager credentials database.
This option must be used with -f or -p and -c.
-r
Remove credentials from the Systems Insight Manager credentials database. This
option must be used with -f or -p.
-l
List node security credentials on the screen. This option can be used with -p and
-n options.
-f filename
Use an XML file to specify the credentials to add, modify, or remove.
-p protocol
Specify a protocol such as WBEM or SNMP. Credentials of the specified type are
displayed on the screen. Also used to specify VME protocols, such as vCenter,
scvmm, rhevm in the format vme:protocolThis option is used with -a, -r, and
-l. Standard Systems Insight Manager protocols are "snmp", "wbem", "ws-man",
"ssh" and "sign-in". The mxnodesecurity command interprets "wsman" or "ws-man"
on the command line as the same protocol. The mxnodesecurity command interprets
"signin" or "sign-in" on the command line as the same protocol. A "sign-in"
