For the latest WBEM Services bundle, go to http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers.
2. Ensure the managed system software is installed.
To verify that the minimum required software is installed, log in to the remote system, and run the
following command:
$ swlist –l bundle T1471AA B8465BA OpenSSL
To verify that the optional providers and HP System Management Homepage are installed, run commands
such as:
$ swlist –l bundle LVMProvider WBEMP-LAN-00 SysMgmtWeb SysFaultMgmt

3. Acquire and install the managed system software if not previously installed.
The SSH and WBEM bundles are included on the HP-UX Operating Environment and Application Release
media, as well as part of the HP SIM HP-UX depot downloaded from
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/dl_hpux.html.
For the WBEM providers, see
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/dl_hpux.html .
After you have obtained the depots containing the software, you can install then from the managed
system:
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> OpenSSL
Note: B8465BA and B9073BA version 08.01.01 depends on OpenSSL, so you must install OpenSSL
first.
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> T1471AA
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> B8465BA
$ swinstall –s <depot_location> <names of WBEM providers being installed>
4. Configure the managed system software. See Configuring the managed system software for HP-UX

The HP SIM Configure or Repair Agents tool is a quick and easy way to configure Linux, HP-UX, and Windows
managed systems to communicate with HP SIM from an HP-UX CMS.
