HP Device Monitor Service Account
The Agent Action Account specified in the Discovery Wizard is used for discovery and monitoring
of HP servers by default. If the Local System account is not selected and another is specified with
insufficient privileges, discovery and monitoring of HP servers might fail.
To configure a Run As profile:
1. Create a Run As account using the Create Run As Account Wizard, and then specify an
account that has sufficient privileges to perform discovery and monitoring of HP servers.
NOTE: The default Local System Windows Account Run As account has sufficient privileges,
and can be associated to HP server Run As profiles.
2. Select the Run As Profile Wizard for the HP ProLiant Monitored Servers Discovery Account
profile and specify the Run As account with sufficient privileges, or select the Local System
Windows Account Run As account.
3. Select the Run As Profile Wizard for the HP ProLiant Monitored Servers Monitoring Account
profile, and then specify the Run As account with sufficient privileges, or select the Local
System Windows Account Run As account.
The minimum permissions required by the Run As account to discover and monitor HP servers
are:
• Full control access to registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
Hewlett-Packard\HP SCOM Management Packs\HPDeviceMonitorService
• Read, execute, and write access to the HP Device Monitor Service folder located in
%ProgramFiles%\HP SCOM Management Packs\HP Device Monitor Service\
NOTE: The Local System Windows Account Run As account has sufficient privileges to
discover and monitor HP servers.
