HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide

OpenSSH is only used when menu tools are executed. If mxwbemsub is executed at the command line, it
does not require OpenSSH.
iCAP properties are collected and displayed using the HP-UX WBEM. Data collection collects software and
firmware information from HP-UX, NSK, Linux Integrity, and ProLiant boxes whenever the providers are
available. See “Setting up managed systems” for information about installing WBEM services and providers.
NOTE: The iCAP provider is available on HP-UX 11i v1 (11.11), HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23), and HP-UX 11i
v3 (11.31) which can only be installed on HP 9000 servers.
The supported versions for indications on Linux IPF include:
• RHEL4
• RHEL5
• SLES9
• SLES10
Also, the HP ProLiant Support Pack 3.90 or later must be installed on the system.
To set the port on which WBEM indications are received, edit the globalsettings.props file and the
WBEM_indications_Listener_Port property. The default value for the port is 50004
(WBEM_indications_Listener_Port=50004). If this port is unavailable, edit the file and assign a
suitable value. If HP SIM is running, stop the service and restart it for the new port to be accessed. If WBEM
event subscriptions have been set up with the default port settings, delete and add the subscriptions again
so that the new port is used when WBEM events are sent to the CMS.
You can subscribe and unsubscribe to WBEM indication events. To access these options, select
Options→Events→Subscribe to WBEM Events and Options→Events→Unsubscribe to WBEM
Events.
