CPU utilization thresholds
Use the CPU resource to collect utilization data for CPUs in a cluster. To access the Cluster Monitor - Node
Resource Settings page where the thresholds are set, select Options→Cluster Monitor→Node Resource
Settings.
The threshold values you enter in the Settings for the Selected Resource section define the Normal,
Minor, and Major ranges for CPU utilization on the selected node.
For each CPU, there are four thresholds in pairs. The Minor and Major thresholds are associated with a
corresponding reset threshold. Utilization enters the Major range when it equals or exceeds the Major
threshold value. It remains in the Major range until it falls to or below the Major reset value. The Minor and
Major reset thresholds behave similarly.
You can specify different thresholds for each CPU in each node of a cluster.
For more information about CPU thresholds, see “Configuring cluster resource settings”.

Command line tools
Use the CLI tools to execute basic UNIX and Windows commands remotely on one or more systems .
NOTE: For additional information about the individual commands, see the associated manpage on an
HP-UX and Linux system or the Windows command line help where the command tool is installed.
NOTE: Command line tools provided by HP-UX and Linux, such as the ls and df commands, 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 launch a command line tool:
1. Choose one of the following:
• Select Tools→Command Line Tools→UNIX/Linux for Linux or UNIX command line tools.
• Select Tools→Command Line Tools→Windows for Windows command line tools.
2. Select the command line tool that you want to run, and follow the steps to launch the tool. See “Creating
a task” for assistance with the steps.
3. Click Run Now to launch the tool.
4. Enter the parameters for the tool in the Parameters field.
5. If applicable, enter the privilege elevation password.
Command line interface
Use the mxexec command to launch these command tools on one or more systems from the command line
interface. For assistance with this command, see the associated manpage. See “Using command line interface
commands” for information about accessing the manpage.

Configuring or repairing agents
Overview
Managed systems must be able to communicate status to the HP SIM CMS in order for commands to be
launched to the managed systems. To configure the managed systems to communicate with the CMS, common
configurations and trust relationships must be configured. The Configure or Repair Agents feature enables
you to configure or repair agents in Windows, Linux, and HP-UX.
