Configuring HP SIM using the Options menu
To configure HP SIM using the Options menu, you must configure the following for the managed systems.
1. Configure the protocol settings.
Protocol settings define how HP SIM communicates with the managed systems. To configure these
settings, Select Options→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol Settings.
2. Add users and user groups.
NOTE: Users that have been added to the Central Management Server (CMS) cannot view or manage
systems until authorizations have been configured for them.
NOTE: HP-UX and Linux-provided command line tools, such as ls and df, are run as root by default.
For security reasons, you might want them to run as a specific user to avoid permitting unintended
capabilities to a user.
To add users, select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Users, and then click New.
To add user groups, select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Users, and then click
New Group.
3. Add toolboxes.
Toolboxes , define the set of tools to which a user has access. To add toolboxes, select
Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Toolboxes, and then click New.
4. Add authorizations.
Authorizations give the user access to view and manage systems. Each authorization specifies a user
or user group, a toolbox, and a system or system group. The specific set of tools that can be run against
a system is specified in the assigned toolbox.
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 HP SIM performs when an event is received. To setup
automatic event handling, select Options→Events→Automatic Event Handling→New Task.
