Required Protocols and

Components Notes

VMware ESX SSH Password or SSH

certificate

The system collects from the HOST; the system

does not collect from the hosted device.

Storage

EVA Command View client The credentials are Command View but the

system discovers the device via SMI-S in HP

SIM via the host.

MSA1XXX SNMPv1

MSA23XX G1/G2 WBEM Install the WBEM MSA2000 providers on the

host device.

P2000 (MSA G3) WBEM

Storage

ESL Telnet

NSR/MSL HTTP

VLS SSH password

Switches

MCData SNMPv1

Brocade Telnet, SSH password

QLogic SNMPv1

Cisco SNMPv1

ProCurve SSH

Note: When monitoring managed systems using WBEM credentials, if you change the

username/password, or if the credentials expire as part of your security policies, you must modify

those corresponding credentials in HP SIM on the CMS to continue monitoring your managed system

(s).

Collecting Required Managed Systems

Information

Use this table to record the relevant information for each of your managed systems. You will use this
