HP Insight Dynamics 6.2 Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide

Procedure 3-7 Start HP SIM and The First Time Wizard
1. Start a Web browser and make sure that it is not configured to block pop-up windows. Direct
your web browser to the following URL:
http://server:280
where server is the host name of your CMS.
2. When launched for the first time after a new installation, HP SIM automatically displays
the First Time Wizard. You can also run this wizard manually by selecting Options→First
Time Wizard... from the HP SIM menu bar.
NOTE: You can view HP SIM help for this or any other window by clicking the button
in the upper right corner of the window.
3. Proceed through the screens of the First Time Wizard as follows:
a. Introduction Screen Click Next to continue.
b. Managed Environment Specifies all operating systems managed by the CMS. The
selections made here configure HP SIM to show collections, tools, and reports only for
managed environments that are selected.
c. Discovery Discovery is the process of finding and identifying systems in the
management domain so that they can be managed from the CMS by HP SIM. There are
two discovery modes: automatic and manual. If you want discovery to be scheduled
on an automatic basis, select Schedule and specify how often discovery should run.
Whether or not you configure automatically scheduled discovery, run the discovery
process manually as soon as you are finished with the First Time Wizard. You can run
discovery manually by selecting Options→Discovery... from the HP SIM menu bar
and then clicking Run Now.
In either automatic or manual mode, you can specify IP ranges for a ping sweep
(detection of systems by their response to a network ping), or you can specify individual
systems by name or IP address. HP SIM uses WBEM, SNMP, SSH and SMH protocols
for system identification. For example, HP SIM attempts to contact the WBEM nPartition,
virtual partition, and virtual machine providers on a given system to determine the
system type. HP SIM populates its system database with this information and creates
relationship information such as the parent/child association between a VM Host and
its virtual machines.
Virtualization Manager uses both the system and relationship information when
displaying Insight Dynamics resources. Until you install the Insight Dynamics agent
software on the managed nodes, little information is available. For information about
installing Insight Dynamics agent software, see “Install Insight Dynamics agent software
and configure managed systems” (page 21).
When you have finished configuring the discovery settings, click Next to continue.
d. Credentials: System Automatic Discovery Use the wizard to set the sign-in credentials
and the SNMP credentials for the System Automatic Discovery task.
Sign-in Credentials ID-VSE for Integrity uses WBEM connections to obtain
information from the managed systems. You must establish common WBEM credentials
on the CMS and on the managed systems to allow authenticated access to WBEM data.
For more information, see “Prepare for installation” (page 12).
SNMP Credentials Configure the SNMP community name that is appropriate for
your organization, or use the default value provided.
Click Next to continue.
