Getting started with HP SIM 5.3 in a smaller Windows environment (417431-005, January 2008)

First Time Wizard summary
When you are finished entering information in the HP SIM First Time Wizard, review your
selections on the Summary Page, and then click Finish to save them.
If you enabled automatic discovery or initiated Run discovery after the wizard finishes,
discovery runs when you exit the First Time Wizard. If you did not enable automatic discovery or
the Run discovery once after wizard finishes, discovery does not take place until you select
Options-
Discovery from the HP SIM menu, and enable a discovery task or select a task and
click Run Now.
Finishing the First Time Wizard
When you click Finish in the First Time Wizard, the Finish page appears with a message stating
Your changes are being applied, please do not close the window. If you selected Run
discovery once after wizard finishes on the Discovery page, you are notified that discovery
is running and where to go in the HP SIM to monitor the progress of discovery. Also included on this
page is information on where to go to see discovered systems that you are managing and where to
go to better manage these systems. To close the First Time Wizard, click Close.
Setting up Windows managed systems
Use the following checklist as a guideline to assist you with setting up managed systems from a
Windows CMS:
1. Ensure that HPSIM is installed on the CMS.
2. Ensure the First Time Wizard has been completed on the CMS.
Important: Discovery must be run before setting up managed systems. Configuring
automatic discovery is part of the First Time Wizard.
3. Configure the managed system software. See Configuring the managed system software
using the Configure or Repair Agents feature from the CMS for more information.
Configuring the managed system software using the Configure or Repair Agents feature from the CMS
The HP SIM Configure or Repair Agents tool is a quick and easy way to configure Linux, HP-UX and
Windows managed systems to communicate with HP SIM from a Windows CMS.
To run Configure or Repair Agents remotely against multiple systems simultaneously, you must have
authorizations to run the Configure or Repair Agents tool.
You must have full CMS configuration privileges to modify the HP SIM community strings in the system
security file. In addition, you must enter administrator level user credentials for the target system.
To configure agents remotely:
1. Select Configure->Configure or Repair Agents. The Step 1: Select Target
Systems page appears.
Note: The Step 1: Verify Target Systems page appears if the targets are selected
before selecting a tool.
2. Select target systems.
