HP Insight Management WBEM Providers 2.8.0.0 User Guide

1. Create a folder.
• For HP SIM running on a Windows Server®, save the folder on the C drive, and name
it c:\hpagun.
If you use a different drive or folder, edit the agents-uninstall.xml file and replace
c:\hpagun
in the following line with the drive and folder used:
<source>c:\hpagun\UninstallAgents.exe</source>
• For HP SIM running on an HP-UX or Linux server, create the folder hpagun under /tmp/
(for example, /tmp/hpagun).
2. Copy the following files to the server running HP SIM.
These files are located in the \AgentUninstall directory of the Insight Provider documentation:
• agents-uninstall.xml Contains information that allows HP SIM to add the Uninstall Agents
Tool to its menu system.
◦ For HP SIM running on a Windows Server®, copy the agents-uninstall.xml file to the
C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\Tools folder.
◦ For HP SIM running on an HP-UX or Linux server, copy the agents-uninstall.xml file
to the /var/opt/mx/tools folder. Edit the agents-uninstall.xml file, and then replace
the following command line:
<source>c:\hpagun\UninstallAgents.exe</source> to
<source>/tmp/hpagun/UninstallAgents.exe</source>
• UninstallAgents.exe Is used to perform the uninstall of SNMP agents on each target system.
Copy UninstallAgents.exe to the c:\hpagun folder (/tmp/hpagun folder on HP-UX or
Linux HP SIM CMS systems). You can place the executable file into a different folder, but
you must edit the agents-uninstall.xml file to replace the reference to c:\hpagun with the
folder you want to use.
3. From the folder where the agents-uninstall.xml file resides, run the following command:
mxtool -a -f agents-uninstall.xml
When the Uninstall Agents Tool is added to HP SIM, the following messages appear:
Successfully parsed tools file.
Successfully added tool named "Uninstall HP Insight Management Agents"
Successfully added 1 tool
4. Verify that OpenSSH is installed on the target servers.
If OpenSSH is not installed, install it on the target servers:
a. From the HP SIM menu, select Deploy > Deploy Drivers, Firmware, and Agents.
b. Select Install OPENSSH.
c. Follow the instructions to install OpenSSH on the target servers.
5. After OpenSSH is installed, configure HP SIM to authenticate the managed systems by choosing
one of the following options:

mxagentconfig -a [-n hostname] [-u login user name] [-p password]
• From the HP Systems Insight Manager menu, to configure the target systems, select
Configure > Configure or Repair Agents.
For more information, use the help system.
