HP Insight Remote Support 7.0.9 Installation and Configuration Guide
Set the Number of Backup Versions
The default number of backups Insight RSretains, and the recommended setting, is 2.
To change the number of backups retained, run the following command from a command prompt:
rsadmin backup –versions <number_of_backups>
where <number_of_backups> is the number of backup data sets to be retained at the target location.
Integrate with HPSIM
If you want to share information about your devices between HP SIM and Insight RS, install the HP SIM
Adapter through the Insight RS Console. If HP SIM was installed on the Hosting Device before installing
Insight RS, then the HP SIM Adapter is automatically installed. If HP SIM was installed after installing
Insight RS, then the HP SIM Adapter needs to be manually installed.
Integration with HP SIM will synchronize devices and credentials from HP SIM to Insight RS. Service
Events will synchronize from Insight RS to HP SIM. Since HP SIM only accepts Service Events from
known devices, the device needs to be discovered in HP SIM for Insight RS to be able to synchronize
Service Events to HP SIM.
Important: You may need to enter additional credentials, such as RIBCL, in Insight RS that are
not available in HP SIM. Additionally, values such as Serial Numbers and Product Numbers that
you manually entered in HP SIM must be manually entered in Insight RS as well.
For information about supported versions of HP SIM, see the HP Insight Remote Support Release Notes
at: http://www.hp.com/go/insightremotesupport/docs.
For information about installing HP SIM, see the HP Systems Insight Manager Installation and
Configuration Guide for Windows at: https://www.hp.com/go/foundationmgmt/docs.
Important: When using the HP SIM Adapter, make sure to discover devices in HP SIM rather
than in Insight RS so the devices are synchronized between the two applications.
Important: HP SIM must be installed on the Hosting Device before installing the HP SIM
Adapter. If HP SIM is not installed, the HP SIM Adapter installation will fail and you will not see
the HP SIM Adapter on the Administrator Settings screen.
Before you can enable the HP SIM Adapter pane, you must install the HPSIMAdapter:
