HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

4. Create subscriptions for WBEM events.
NOTE: Subscribing to WBEM Indications/Events on managed systems is optional.
NOTE: For more information about HP-UX WBEM events, go to the WBEM Event Subscriptions
for HP-UX systems managed by Systems Insight Manager 6.x white paper at http://
h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html.
To subscribe to WBEM Indications/Events:
a. From the managed system, be sure WBEM is installed.
b. Verify that SysFaultMgmt provider is installed:
cimprovider –ls
c. From the CMS:
To subscribe to WBEM Events, you must have root access. If the Global Protocol Setting
does not match the managed system or does not contain root access, the subscription for
WBEM Indications fails. You can verify what access WBEM has by running the following
command line:
mxnodesecurity –l –p wbem –n <systemname>
If the managed system does not have a root level user credential configured, you can
add it for the individual system.
NOTE: You can use the Configure or Repair Agents tool to perform this step without
permanently recording a root password.
To change the individual system:
mxnodesecurity -a -p WBEM -c
<username:password> -n <systemname>
5. From the CMS, run the WBEM Indications/Events command line:
mxwbemsub -l -n <systemname>
For more information, see http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs.
If not previously done so, install WBEM on the managed system.
swinstall -s /directory/depot
where directory is the path to the depot file and depot is the name of the depot file. For
example:
swinstall -s /tmp/HPSIM_download.depot
