HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide

i. Stop the DMI daemon on the managed system:

/sbin/init.d/Dmisp stop

ii. Edit /var/dmi/dmiMachines by adding the host name of the CMS to the end of this file.

Save the file.

iii. Start the DMI daemon:

/sbin/init.d/Dmisp start

e. On the CMS, copy the SSH-generated public key from the CMS to the managed system using the

mxagentconfig:

Use one of the following commands:

• mxagentconfig -a -n <hostname> -u root -f <file_with_root_password>

• mxagentconfig -a -n <hostname> -u root -p <root_password>

Note: Using the -p option exposes the password through ps output, so using the -f option

(with a file only readable by root, and containing only the managed system root password)

is highly recommended when using mxagentconfig -a. If you use the -p option, enclose

the password in single quotes if the password has any special characters, such as & or $. For

more information and options, see the mxagentconfig manpage with man

mxagentconfig.

3. Sign in to the HP SIM GUI. For assistance with this, see “Signing in”. Using the GUI, add the default

WBEM user name and password to the Global Protocol Settings page.

Note: An account for at least one of the WBEM user name and password combinations must exist on

each managed system.

Note: You can perform this step once for all the managed systems you set up.

a. Select Options→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol Settings.

b. In the Default WBEM settings section, ensure that the Enable WBEM checkbox is selected, and

add the default WBEM user name, password, and confirmation password.

c. Click OK.

Note: An account for at least one WBEM user name and password combination must exist on each

managed system. If the user in the Global Protocol Settings does not exist on the managed system you

can set per-system WBEM user names and passwords from the System Protocol Settings page.

4. To subscribe to WBEM Indications/Events:

Note: For more information about HP-UX WBEM events, go to the

WBEM subscriptions in HP SIM

white

paper at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html.

a. From the managed system, be sure WBEM is installed.

Note: Subscribing to WBEM Indications/Events on managed systems is optional.

b. Verify that SysFaultMgmt provider is installed.

Depending on the SFM configuration, run the following:

cimprovider –lm SFMProviderModule

The EMSWrapperProvider displays.

cimprovider –ls

The EMSWrapperProvider displays.

Note: For more information regarding SFM, see HP System Fault Management Diagnostics.
