Configuring the managed environment
From this page, select the operating systems that the CMS will manage. There are four options: Windows,
Linux, HP-UX, and Other. The selections made here configure HP SIM to hide collections, tools, and reports
for operating systems you do not manage. By default the CMS operating system is selected on this page.
NOTE: These settings can be changed at any time, and the hidden collections, tools, and reports can be
made visible again. To change these settings from the HP SIM menu, select Options Managed
Environment.
1. Select the operating systems for the CMS to manage.
If you select HP-UX, select menu items and provide required information. These menu items are for
handling Integrity Extensions on a Windows or Linux CMS and are not available on an HP-UX CMS.
2. Click Next to go to the next First Time Wizard step, or click Previous to return to the previous step.
If you selected HP-UX, the system attempts to verify the prerequisites. For example, for Ignite-UX, the
system tries to connect to the Ignite server. If it is unable to do so, an error message appears. After
closing the error message box, you are return to the Managed Environment First Time Wizard page
until you provide valid information or cancel the selection.
The minor version of the tool inside the TDEF file changes each time a tool is re-registered, if a later version
is available.

Enabling automatic system discovery
HP SIM uses
automatic discovery
to find and identify systems on the network. The System Automatic Discovery
task is the default discovery task and is disabled by default. You can enable and configure the System
Automatic Discovery task by selecting to have it run immediately when First Time Wizard finishes, or by
selecting OptionsDiscovery from the HP SIM menu. You can create multiple automatic discovery tasks
from the Discovery page. See “Configuring automatic discovery”.
