Manually Setting System Properties
The Remote Support Eligible (RSE) rule places eligible devices onto the Remote Support Eligible List
automatically after discovery and without the need to change the HP SIM system properties. For
OpenVMS servers can be problematic because some customers cannot or will not install the required
SMH agents or WBEM providers.
If an OpenVMS server is discovered using HP SIM and does not have the prerequisite SMH agents (Alpha
or Integrity servers) or WBEM providers (Integrity servers), then the the server will likely fail to become
Remote Support Eligible (RSE) in the Insight Remote Support Advanced environment. In order to become
eligible for remote support, the HP SIM system properties need to be changed for each OpenVMS server
where the SMH agents or WBEM providers are not installed.

Properties.
2. Verify the System subtype 1 drop-down list to HP Alphaserver.
3. Verify the Operating system for tool filtering drop-down list to HP OpenVMS.
4. Go to Options Remote Support Configuration and Services, and on the Entitlement tab, click
Synchronize RSE. When synchronization completes, click Refresh to reload the Remote Support
System List.
Use the following procedure to set HP SIM system properties for an Integrity server running OpenVMS for
remote support eligibility:
1. In HP SIM, select the server to edit, then go to the Tools & Links tab, then select Edit System
Properties.
2. Verify the System subtype 1 drop-down list to HP Integrity.
3. Verify the Operating system for tool filtering drop-down list to HP OpenVMS.
4. Go to Options Remote Support Configuration and Services, and on the Entitlement tab, click
Synchronize RSE. When synchronization completes, click Refresh to reload the Remote Support
System List.
