HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide

The Configure or Repair Agents tool enables you to repair Simple Network Management Protocol settings
and trust relationships that exist between HP Systems Insight Manager and target systems if you have 7.2
agents or later installed. If you have 7.1 agents or earlier installed, you can update Web Agent passwords
on target systems.
This tool adds the security and trap community strings and trust settings to the target systems, but it does not
replace existing settings. To replace existing settings on target systems, use the Replicate Agent Settings
feature in HP SIM.
You can use Configure or Repair Agents tool to send test SNMP traps from Windows systems with HP Insight
Management Agents and send test Web-Based Enterprise Management indications from Windows and
HP-UX systems with HP WBEM provider installed.
You can also configure WBEM certificates for HP-UX systems and WBEM/WMI users for Windows systems
with HP Insight Management WBEM Providers for Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008.
The Configure or Repair Agents feature on a Windows CMS also enables you to install various agents and
providers on a ProLiant or Itanium-based system with Windows operating system. It can install:
• HP Insight Management WBEM Providers for Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008
