2. Verify that SysFaultMgmt provider is installed.

Depending on the System Fault Manager configuration, run the following:

cimprovider –lm SFMProviderModule

The EMSWrapperProvider appears.

cimprovider –ls

The EMSWrapperProvider appears.

NOTE: For more information regarding System Fault Manager, see HP System Fault

Management Diagnostics.

3. From the CMS:

To subscribe to WBEM Events, you must have root access. You can verify what credentials

are used for WBEM access 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 in the HP SIM UI to perform this

step without permanently recording a root password.

• To change the individual system:

mxnodesecurity -a -p WBEM -c \

<username:password> -n <systemname>

4. From the CMS, run the WBEM Indications/Events command line:

mxwbemsub -l -n <systemname>

For more information on subscribing and unsubscribing to WBEM indications, see the HP SIM

online help.

Setting up Linux servers to be managed by HP SIM

To be fully managed by HP SIM, HP ProLiant servers running Linux should have the Insight

Management Advisor installed. These agents are part of the ProLiant Support Pack. You can install

the ProLiant Support Pack manually, or configure it to be installed as part of your normal operating

system deployment procedures.

After setting up the management agents on the managed systems, the rest of the configuration can

be done from the HP SIM UI. Continue to Chapter 4 “Credentials” (page 34) for further information.

Configuring agents remotely using Configure or Repair Agents:

1. For Linux systems, select Install Linux PSP or ESX Agents.

2. Click Next. The Step 3: Configure or Repair Agents page appears.

Manually setting up Linux managed systems

Although chapters 4-7 explain how to finish configuring managed systems from the HP SIM GUI,

this section describes how to perform some of these same steps from the command line for Linux

systems. You do need to first supply credentials and discover the systems, as described in chapters

4 and 6. Then you can do the following actions from the command line, if desired.
