Configuring privilege elevation on HP-UX
From this page, you can enable privilege elevation for Linux, HP-UX, and ESX managed systems. This
enables you to sign in as an unprivileged user and elevate the privilege to run on these operating
systems.
You can also configure privilege elevation from the Systems Insight Manager menu by selecting
OptionsSecurityPrivilege Elevation.
1. Choose one of the following:
– To configure privilege elevation for ESX systems, select Enable privilege elevation for VMware
ESX.
– To configure privilege elevation for Linux and HP-UX systems, select Enable privilege elevation
for Linux & HP-UX.
2. Select the elevation tool type from the menu.
If a password is required for the tool, select A password is required for this privilege elevation
tool.
3. (Optional) Edit the Privilege elevation tool command.
4. Select the user to sign in to the managed system:
– Same as Systems Insight Manager signed-in user
– Specify at run time
– Use this user and enter the user name
5. To go to the next First Time Wizard step, click [Next]; or to return to the previous step, click
[Previous].
Configuring e-mail settings
To use the First Time Wizard to configure Systems Insight Manager to send e-mail notifications
through automatic event handling:
1. Enter the SMTP host name. The SMTP host is the outgoing e-mail server that the CMS uses to send
e-mail notifications.
2. In the Sender's e-mail address box, enter the e-mail address that the management server uses
when sending e-mail notifications.
3. (Optional) Select Send test email, and then enter the recipient’s e-mail address. Click Send test
email now.
4. To authenticate your SMTP server, select Server Requires Authentication.
5. Enter the account user name and password in the corresponding boxes.
Note:
If you did not enter a valid Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) host,
Systems Insight Manager notifies you that it cannot send e-mail
notifications. If you do not want to enter e-mail settings now, click OK; or to
enter a valid SMTP host, click Cancel.
If the Server Requires Authentication option is selected and you enter
incorrect account information, e-mail event notifications do not reach the
intended recipients.
First Time Wizard summary
When you are finished entering information in the Systems Insight Manager First Time Wizard, review
your selections on the Summary page, and then click Finish to save them.
