# mxwbemsub –m [currentCMS] newCMS –n nodenames

# mxwbemsub –m [currentCMS] newCMS –f nodefile.txt

This command moves the WBEM subscription from currentCMS to newCMS for the systems on

the command line (using –n), or for the systems in the text file (using –f). The parameter currentCMS

is optional, and if omitted the WBEM subscription is moved from the current system to newCMS.

SNMP

You must configure each managed system SNMP trap destination to point to the CMS. After

completing the configuration, HP SIM can receive SNMP traps.

There are two commands for managing SNMP MIB information. The mcompile command compiles

SNMP MIB files into an intermediate format, called a cfg file. For example, the command:

# mcompile [-d mibdir] mibfile.mib

compiles the mibfile.mib file into an intermediate file, called mibfile.cfg. If you provide

the d option, the mibfile.mib must reside in the directory mibdir. If the MIB file contains

IMPORTS from other MIB files, those MIB files must reside in the same directory as the mibfile.mib

file. The cfg file is placed in the same directory as the mibfile.mib file.

After compiling the MIBs, the mxmib command enables you to process the cfg file. You can

To register a newly-compiled MIB file, use the –a option:

# mxmib –a mibfile.cfg

This command replaces the data on an already-registered MIB if the MIB has been updated.

To un-register a mib, use the –d option:

# mxmib –d mibfile.cfg

If you have several MIBs to register, you can create a text file and list the .cfg files of the MIBs

to register. This option registers MIBs, instead of executing multiple mxmib a commands. For

example, using the file name cfglist.txt, the command to register multiple MIBs using a text

file is:

# mxmib –f cfglist.txt

To list all of the MIBs registered in HP SIM, execute the following command:

# mxmib –l

The output is a list of all the .mib files registered in HP SIM. To see a list of the traps associated

with a MIB, use the –t option:

# mxmib –t mibfile.mib

Managing HP SIM tasks

A feature of HP SIM is the ability to create, manage, and schedule tasks. Within HP SIM, you can

execute all tools immediately, or scheduled the tools to run at a later date. This section describes

how you can manage tasks within HP SIM.

The mxtool command adds tools to HP SIM. For information s how to create tool definition files,

see HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide on the www.hp.com.

Managed server setup

The Distributed Task Facility (DTF) of HP SIM controls tool execution on managed servers. The DTF

communicates with managed servers through SSH. The mxagentconfig command pushes the

public key for the CMS to the users SSH key directory on the managed servers, and then appends

the key to the authenticated keys file. The user identified in the mxagentconfig command, must

be a valid user on the managed servers. Also, you must execute this authentication process on the

CMS so that the DTF can execute the tools on the CMS.
