Getting Started with HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 or Greater in a Smaller Windows Environment

Introduction – Describes the purpose of the First Time Wizard. You can cancel the First Time

Wizard and disable the wizard from automatically starting when an administrative user signs in.

Managed Environment – Specifies all operating systems to be managed by the CMS. The

selections made here configure Systems Insight Manager to show collections, tools, and reports

only for systems matching the selected OS. This page also collects required details for each TDEF

selection, such as IP address of the Ignite server, sign in credential information, and so on.

Discovery – Use the wizard to enable discovery, set up the discovery schedule, and enter the IP

address ranges or host names of the systems you want to discover. Discovery is the process

Systems Insight Manager uses to find and identify systems on your network and populate the

database with that information. A system must be discovered to collect data and track system

health status.

Credentials: System Automatic Discovery – Use the wizard to set the sign-in credentials and the

SNMP credentials for the System Automatic Discovery task.

Configure Managed Systems – Configure managed systems as they are discovered, by

configuring WBEM and WMI, SNMP, Secure Shell (SSH) access, and trust relationship.

WMI Mapper Proxy – To retrieve managed system information on Windows systems, enter the

mapper proxy system host name and port number. In Windows CMS, it is set automatically. This

page does not appear if you are not managing Windows systems.

Privilege Elevation – Enable privilege elevation if, on HP-UX and Linux systems, you are required

to sign in as a non-root user and then request privilege elevation to run root-level tools.

E-mail – Enter the e-mail settings that the CMS uses to send e-mail notifications. You can set up

Automatic Event Handling tasks that prompt Systems Insight Manager to send e-mails when the

CMS receives a specific event.

Summary – Displays all First Time Wizard settings with the option to modify settings or to finish

the First Time Wizard.

Note:

The First Time Wizard configures only the basic settings of Systems Insight

Manager.

Configuring the managed environment

From this page, select the operating systems that the CMS will manage. There are four options:

Windows, Linux, HP-UX, and Other. The selections made here configure Systems Insight Manager to

hide collections, tools, and reports for operating systems you do not use. By default the CMS

operating system is selected on this page.

Note:

These settings can be changed at any time, and the hidden collections,

tools, and reports can be made visible again. To change these settings

from the Systems Insight Manager menu, select Options Managed

Environment.

To configure the environment:

1. Select the operating systems for the CMS to manage.

2. Click Next to go to the next First Time Wizard step, or click Previous to return to the previous step.
