Configuring the xapi port for Citrix XenServer

Configuring WMI Mapper proxy server settings for Microsoft Hyper-V
server
Insight Control virtual machine management uses WMI Mapper proxy bundled with HP SIM to manage the
Microsoft Hyper-V server virtualization layer. If the WMI Mapper proxy is installed on the server where
HP SIM 6.0 is installed, no additional configuration is required in Insight Control virtual machine management.
If the WMI Mapper proxy is installed outside the CMS, add the following configuration entry in the Insight
Control virtual machine management configuration file located at <HP Insight Control virtual
machine management installation directory on CMS>/bin/hpvmm.conf for Insight Control
virtual machine management to manage Microsoft Hyper-V servers.
WMIProxyServer = <IP address of the server where WMI Mapper proxy is installed>
By default, the WMI Mapper proxy port used by Insight Control virtual machine management is 5989. If
the WMI Mapper proxy service is run on a different port, add the following configuration entry in the Insight
Control virtual machine management configuration file located at <HP Insight Control virtual
machine management installation directory on CMS>/bin/hpvmm.conf.
WMIProxyPort = <Proxy port number>
After any changes to the hpvmm.conf file, for the changes to take effect, you must restart the Insight Control
virtual machine management service on the CMS.
You can set the WMI Mapper proxy for the CMS through the HP SIM user interface by selecting
Options→Protocol Settings→WMI Mapper Proxy. You can also add the system name.
