HP Systems Insight Manager 6.2 User Guide

10 Managed environment

The Managed Environment feature enables you to select the operating systems that you will manage. There

are four options: Windows, Linux, HP-UX, and Other. The selections made here configure Systems Insight

Manager to hide collections, tools, and reports for operating systems you do not manage.

NOTE: These settings can be changed at any time, and the hidden collections, tools, and reports can be

made visible again.

If you select Linux or HP-UX, you can select to have GlancePlus or Ignite-UX and Software Distributor menu

items appear in Systems Insight Manager. The HP-UX menu items are for handling Integrity Extensions on

a Windows or Linux CMS and are not available on an HP-UX CMS.

If both Linux and HP-UX are selected, the same user name must be specified for GlancePlus in both the

places. Root user is used if no user name is specified.

If you select HP-UX, select Ignite UX and Software Distributor, and then enter the IP address of the ignite

server and the SSH credentials (Host based or User based).

NOTE: The password field is populated with a dump value, not with the actual password supplied by user.

Dump value is used as a security measure. All selections are retained when you move around in the UI. The

same selections are retained in Options→Managed Environment page.
