Instruction Manual

Example XML file to add more than 10 WBEM username and password pairs
To save time and effort, create an XML file that defines your system authorizations prior to running discovery.
For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
15.43.215.47
15.43.212.150
15.3.110.117
15.3.105.51
15.3.110.113
-->
<nodelist>
<node name="system1">
<credential protocol="wbem" username="root"
password="pswd" />
</node>
<node name="system2">
<credential protocol="wbem" username="root"
password="pswd" />
</node>
<node name="system3">
<credential protocol="wbem" username="root"
password="pswd" />
</node>
<node name="system4">
<credential protocol="wbem" username="root"
password="pswd" />
</node>
<node name="system5">
<credential protocol="wbem" username="euploid\administrator"
password="pswd" />
</node>
</nodelist>
The IP addresses of the systems to be discovered can be included in an XML comment as shown above so
that it can be maintained at the same time as the XML file and copied and pasted into the Ping inclusion
ranges, templates and/or hosts files field when creating or editing a discovery task. See “Creating a
new discovery task” for creating a new discovery task and see “Editing a discovery task” for more information
on editing a task.
After the XML file is created it can then be imported into HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) prior to
running discovery using the following CLI command:
mxnodesecurity -a -f <path-to-xml-file>
HP recommends limiting the WBEM user name and password pairs to 10 to reduce the overall discovery
run time.
