HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

3. Expand the Product Description section and verify that WBEM is listed as one of the discovered
management protocols.
If WBEM is not listed, confirm the target system has the correct WBEM credentials assigned to the
managed system.
a. Navigate to the System Page for the target system.
b. Select the Tools & Links tab.
c. Select System Protocol Settings.
d. Under WBEM Settings, verify the correct credential has been assigned to this system. If it does
not have the correct credentials, manually add them and re-identify the system.
If WBEM is discovered, check the following:
• From the CMS, run mxwbemsub -l -n target name . See the HP SIM 5.2 Command
Line Interface Reference Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/
management/hpsim/infolibrary.htmlfor examples of using this command.
Additionally, you can use a CIM instance browsing tool to search for the instances created in
the CIMOM that represent the subscription.
A. Enumerate instances of CIM_IndicationSubscription on the managed system.
B. View all instances of CIM_IndicationListenerCIMXML and look at their destination
URLs to see who subscribed and where they are asking for them to be delivered.
If no subscriptions are found, subscribe to WBEM events for this managed system. If you are still not
receiving indications in HP SIM from this managed system after successfully subscribing, continue with
step 4. See “Subscribing to WBEM indications” for information about subscribing to WBEM indications.
4. If subscriptions are found, verify the HP SIM CMS is reachable from the target system.
a. From the HP SIM CMS, run mxwbemsub -l -n target name .
b. Review the output received to find the CMS host name string that is used in the Destination property.
c. Use the CMS host name (exactly as it appears) to ping (or run nslookup) from the managed
system by running ping Central Management Server host name used in Destination
from the command line on the managed system. If this command fails, there is a
disconnect in network connectivity or name resolution between the managed system and the CMS.
d. If ping fails, edit the /etc/hosts file and add the CMS per the destination string in the subscription.
Ideally, all systems should be in DNS, but this is not always the case.
e. After ping is successful, telnet from the managed system to telnet CMS host name used in
Destination 50004. To exit telnet, execute CTRL +] and enter quit.
Note: If telnet fails, the following error message is displayed Connecting To
localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port 50004: Connect
failed.
Ensure that indications are generated by the managed system
After you confirm that connectivity and name resolution are not an issue and you have confirmed that you
have a valid subscription from the CMS, generate a test indication to verify that the HP-UX managed system
can send indication.
HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23
1. From the HP-UX managed system, run /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/send_test_event monitor
name . For example, /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/send_test_event disk_em.
Possible monitor names:
• dm_memory
• lpmc_em
• disk_em
• dm_chassis
• dm_core_hw
