HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Command Line Interface reference guide

Notes
• When modifying a node with the mxnode -m -f filename command, your XML file must include
only the attributes you want to modify. You must always include the three attribute lock flags and set
all three flags to true or false . In most cases, you will want to use the false setting so the lockable
attributes will not be overwritten by the Discovery and Identification processes.
• The only way to clear a particular system/node attribute using the mxnode -m -f filename
command is to include that attribute in the XML file and enter one space character as the value for that
attribute.
• Although any system/node attribute can be modified with an XML file, only a limited set of all predefined
system attributes can be locked or protected from being overwritten by the Discovery or Identification
processes. See System attributes that can be locked and Predefined system attributes/properties for the
lists of system attributes that can be modified and locked.
Limitations
This command can only be run on the CMS.

Description
mxnodesecurity allows a CMS user to add, list, or remove default/global and node/system credentials
in the CMS. All credentials are stored in the HP SIM database. The difference between default and node
type credentials are:
