Adding new DMI rules (from Windows CMS only)

You can create a new DMI-based rule using the command line utility (mxstm). DMI system information

originates in MIF files. MIF files contain elements that have attributes and corresponding values. See “Using

command line interface commands” for information about accessing the mxstm manpage.

Adding new SNMP rules

You can create a new SNMP-based rule using the command line utility (mxstm) or by selecting

Options→Manage System Types from the HP SIM user interface. Within the SNMP framework, manageable

network systems (routers, bridges, servers, and so on) contain a software component called a

management

agent

. The agent monitors the various subsystems of the network element and stores this information in a

MIB. The agents enable the system to generate traps, which can be configured to be sent to a trap destination

server that is running HP SIM.
