Configuring Insight Remote Support Advanced
After installation of the WBEM providers, it is necessary to configure Insight Remote Support Advanced to
monitor the ESXi ProLiant. You must add WBEM credentials into HP SIM so that WBEM is detected as a
management protocol for the system.
1. In HP SIM, select Options → Protocol Settings → Global Protocol Settings
2. On the Global Protocol Settings screen, click the Global Credential link.
3. On the Global Credentials screen add the root credentials and click OK. After this step it is
recommended to perform an identify task against the server under Options → Identify Systems.
After the ESXi ProLiant server has been properly discovered and identified by HP SIM, you must create
the subscriptions manually in order for HP SIM to start receiving WBEM indications from the discovered
systems. After this task has been performed, HP SIM synchronizes with Insight Remote Support
Advanced and sends information about the systems to Insight Remote Support Advanced. Use the
following procedure to create WBEM subscriptions in HP SIM:
1. In HP SIM, select Options → Events → Subscribe to WBEM Events. The Step 1: Select Target
Systems page appears.
2. Select the target systems, and then click Apply. The Step 1: Verify Target Systems page appears.
3. Click Next. The Step 2: Task Confirmation page appears and provides details about the task that was
created.
4. Click Run Now to add subscriptions for WBEM events on the target systems. The Task Results
page appears.
