Chapter 9
Integrity Windows 2008 Server Configuration
This chapter applies only to Windows 2008 Integrity managed systems. Before you can monitor your
Integrity Windows 2008 managed systems you must:
l Verify the managed systems are supported by checking the Insight Remote Support Advanced
Release Notes.
l Verify that WBEM is installed and configured. To determine which version of WBEM Providers your
managed systems require, consult the support matrix at the following URL:
http://h20338.www2.hp.com/integrity/w1/en/os/windows-on-integrity-releases.html.
l Verify connectivity from the managed systems to the CMS.
Verifying WBEM Provider Prerequisites on the
Managed System
For your Windows 2008 Integrity managed system to be discovered by HP SIM and to support Remote
Data Collections, you must have HP Integrity WBEM Providers for Windows Server 2008 installed and
fully configured on your managed systems as directed in the HP SmartSetup product documentation for
the appropriate package. Windows 2008 Integrity managed systems also use WBEM for event
submission/remote monitoring.
Windows Integrity servers shipped by HP manufacturing have the SmartSetup installation files pre-loaded
on the operating system disk. Otherwise the packages can be installed using the SmartSetup CD or
reinstallation media. You can download SmartSetup Providers by visiting
www.hp.com/go/integrity/windows, and then clicking the Integrity Essentials for Windows link under
the Management heading.
Using WBEM Providers
For WBEM Providers to communicate to the CMS, you must provide the WBEM credentials as directed in
the Configuring and Applying WBEM Credentials for Supported managed systems section of the HP
Insight Remote Support Advanced Central Management Server Configuration Guide. These actions must
occur within the HP SIM user interface on the CMS when you are completing the Insight Remote Support
Advanced configuration.
Sending a WBEM Test Indication to Verify
Connectivity
WBEM Providers may be used to send WBEM Indications to verify connectivity.
1. In a Web browser, access the System Management Homepage (SMH) on the managed system:
https://ipaddress:2381.
2. Log on using the administrator user name and password for the managed system.
