About This Document This guide is intended for individuals who are familiar with the configuration and operation of Microsoft® Windows®, Windows Server® 2003, Windows Server® 2008, and Web-Based Enterprise Management Providers. Because of the risk of data loss, only individuals experienced with using this software should implement the procedures in this guide. Typographic Conventions This document uses the following typographical conventions: Command A command name or qualified command phrase.
1 Introduction This document applies to the HP Insight Management Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Providers for Windows Server® 2003 SP2 and Windows Server® 2008 on Integrity servers, version 6.1.0.0 (Insight Providers). This release of the Insight Providers supports Integrity servers running Windows Server® 2003 SP2 and Windows Server® 2008. For information regarding supported servers, options, and operating system versions, see Chapter 6 (page 27).
2 Security Security is a major concern and one of the primary reasons to switch from SNMP Agent-based server management to Insight Provider-based server management. The HP Insight Management WBEM Providers for Windows use Windows-based authentication for local and remote access to server management data. Implementation The Insight Providers for Windows are implemented as a set of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) providers.
3. Invoke the EnableRWMI.
3 Microsoft Windows Server™ 2008 Firewall configuration This section describes a configuration method for enabling direct remote WMI access on a server running the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Firewall. These configuration steps were derived from testing on RC1 of Microsoft Windows Server 2008, and so might not apply to the latest version of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Firewall. There are many methods to establish remote communication with WMI.
3. Select the rule, and click Action→Enable Rule. This rule and an equivalent rule appear in the “Network Discovery” and the “File and Printer Sharing” firewall rule groups, respectively. If the Windows Firewall has either of these already enabled, this latter command does not affect a change, and only first command is necessary.
4 Insight Providers architecture Figure 4-1 shows an overview of Insight Provider components. The figure is color-coded to distinguish between Microsoft-provided components, HP components, and Integrity WMI components.

Specific information about HP Integrity WBEM classes and properties for servers, storage controllers, and network controllers can be found in the profiles, MOF files, and data sheet.
5 Scripting examples This section provides examples for accessing data exposed by the Insight Providers using scripting. Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition examples You can write scripts to obtain data from the Insight Providers using Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) or any other scripting language that supports Microsoft ActiveX. This section shows examples for accessing Insight Provider data using VBScript code.
Example 5-1 Displaying computer operational status information strComputer = "." strNamespace = "\root\hpq" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & strNamespace) Set colComputerSystem = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from HP_WinComputerSystem") For Each objComputerSystem in colComputerSystem WScript.Echo "Caption: " & objComputerSystem.Caption For Each objStatusDescription in objComputerSystem.StatusDescriptions WScript.
Example 5-4 Listing system memory modules and their capacities strComputer = "." strNamespace = "\root\hpq" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & strNamespace) Set colMemoryModule = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from HP_MemoryModule") For Each objMemoryModule in colMemoryModule WScript.Echo "Caption: " & objMemoryModule.Caption WScript.Echo "Capacity (bytes): " & objMemoryModule.Capacity Wscript.
Example 5-7 Clearing the record log strComputer = "." strNamespace = "\root\hpq" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & strNamespace) Set colCommonRecordLog = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from HPQ_CommonRecordLog") Wscript.Echo “Clearing the record log…” For Each objCommonRecordLog in colCommonRecordLog objCommonRecordLog.ClearLog() Next Example 5-8 Receiving an alert indication strComputer = ".
