Configuring Integrity Linux Servers
Important: Configuration collections are not supported.
Note: nPars are not supported on Linux Integrity servers.
Fulfill Configuration Requirements
Complete the following steps to configure your Integrity Linux servers to be monitored by Insight RS.
Task Complete?
Make sure Insight RS supports your Integrity Linux server by checking the HP Insight
Remote Support Release Notes.
Verify that WBEM is installed and configured on the Integrity Linux server.
Add the WBEM protocol to the Insight RS Console.
Discover the Integrity Linux server in the Insight RS Console.
Send a test event to verify connectivity between your Integrity Linux server and Insight

Table 10.1 Integrity Linux Server Configuration Steps
Verify HP WBEM Providers Installed
Important: When you are configuring Insight Remote Support, you must configure the WBEM
credentials for your Linux Integrity monitored devices in the Insight RS Console. Take note of
these credentials as you will need to provide them later.
The HP WBEM Providers are required on your Integrity Linux monitored device(s). The Integrity Linux HP
WBEM Providers and the relevant documentation are part of the Support Pack, which is part of the larger
HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux.
Note: Insight Remote Support uses WBEM for Remote Device Monitoring and SNMP for
configuration collections on Integrity Linux monitored devices. For Red Hat Linux 4 and 5,
SNMP cannot coexist with WBEM, so Remote Monitoring cannot be performed in conjunction
with configuration collections.
