HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

• SNMP Enter the read community strings to use for all newly discovered systems. Community strings

establish the authentication that enables communication between HP SIM and a managed system. This

information is required to discover systems that use the SNMP management protocol.

See “Global protocols” for more information about WBEM and SNMP.

• Discovery Use the wizard to enable discovery, set up the discovery schedule, and enter the IP address

ranges or host names of the systems you want to discover. Discovery is the process HP SIM uses to find

and identify systems on your network and populate the database with that information. A system must

be discovered to collect data and track

system health status

• Configure Managed Systems Configure managed systems as they are discovered, by configuring

WBEM and

Windows Management Instrumentation

(WMI), SNMP, Secure Shell (SSH) access, and

trust relationship.

• E-mail Enter the e-mail settings that the CMS will use to send e-mail notifications. You can set up

Automatic Event Handling tasks that prompt HP SIM to send e-mails when the CMS receives a specific

event.

• Summary Displays all First Time Wizard settings with the option to modify settings or to finish the

First Time Wizard.

NOTE: The First Time Wizard configures only the basic settings of HP SIM. See the HP SIM installation

guides located at
