HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager 4.3 User Guide

1. To access WBEM Providers from HP Systems Insight Manager, run the following command:
# cimauth -a -u <SIMUSER> -n root/cimv2/hpvm -R -W
# cimconfig -s enableNamespaceAuthorization=true -p
where, SIMUSER is the username created for SIM access.
2. To access WBEM Providers from HP SMH, run the following command:
# cimauth -a -u <SMHUSER> -n root/cimv2/hpvm -R -W
# cimconfig -s enableNamespaceAuthorization=true -p
where, SMHUSER is the username created for SMH access.
• The user is not authorized to monitor the VM host in Systems Insight
Manager/Matrix Operating Environment. Authority to monitor the VM
host is required when using Integrity Virtual Machines Manager for
accessing the VM host or for accessing any hosted VM within the
Matrix Operating Environment environment.
To use VM Manager, an Systems Insight Manager/Matrix Operating Environment user must
have at least Monitor Tools authorization for the virtual machine host system. If a user has
authority to manage an individual virtual machine but is not authorized within Systems Insight
Manager/Matrix Operating Environment to monitor the VM Host system that contains it, the
error message appears when the user selects the VM Manager icon in the virtual machine's
system box displayed by the HP Matrix OE visualization Visualization tab. To return to HP
Matrix OE visualization, select All VSE Resources in the left-hand navigation pane of Systems
Insight Manager/Matrix Operating Environment (System and Event
Collections→Systems→Shared→Systems by Type→All VSE Resources).
• The VM host is not known to Systems Insight Manager/Matrix Operating
Environment. The VM host must be known to use Integrity Virtual
Machines Manager for the VM host or for any VM hosted by it.
It is possible that a virtual machine might be discovered by Systems Insight Manager while
the containing VM Host has not yet been discovered. To use VM Manager, both the virtual
machine and the containing VM Host must be discovered by Systems Insight Manager. This
error message appears when you select a virtual machine link in the virtual machine system
box displayed in HP Matrix OE visualization before Systems Insight Manager has discovered
the virtual machine's VM Host. To return to Matrix OE visualization, select the All VSE Resources
link in the left-hand navigation bar of Systems Insight Manager (System and Event
Collections→Systems→Shared→Systems by Type→All VSE Resources).
• The user is not authorized to use Integrity Virtual Machines Manager
on this VM host.
With HP SMH, VM Manager is configured by default to permit read-only access to HP SMH
users with User-level privileges, and read-write access to HP SMH users with Operator-level
and Administrator-level privileges. However, it is possible to reconfigure these permissions to
deny all VM Manager access to User-level and Operator-level users. In this case, these users
can log into HP SMH, but they are denied access to VM Manager. To return to the SMH
Homepage, select Home in the top navigation link.
With Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX, users need Matrix OE All Tools authorization
to view all VM Manager screens and perform all VM Manager menu actions.
If other messages are displayed on an Access failure page, contact your HP Technical Support
Representative for further assistance.
Status indicators
In several actions and views, the status of a component is represented by an icon next to the
component name or label. For example, the icon next to the name of a virtual machine shows
whether the virtual machine is up or down. A question mark (?) means no information is available.
