manually. Only one instance of Configure or Repair Agents tool can run at a time.
Configuring protocol settings
You must configure protocol settings to define what systems are added to HP SIM using discovery. HP SIM
has additional functionality to help you manage your infrastructure. For more information, see the appropriate
version of the HP SIM installation and configuration guide for your system.
1. Select Options→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol Settings. The Global Protocol Settings
page appears.
2. In the Ping settings section, choose from the following options:
• (Recommended) Use the ICMP protocol for system reachability (ping) check. This setting is
the default.
• Use the TCP protocol for system reachability (ping) check. TCP port number. Select this
setting if your company has disabled ICMP on the corporate network or if the corporate policy
mandates system firewall software to filter ICMP requests. Enter the port number.
Windows XP has this feature built in and can prevent systems from being automatically discovered.
This option enables you to run HP SIM and ping all available systems.
This option applies to only IP-based systems and is available for global, system-wide settings that
are used when managing all systems in HP SIM. It is used by automatic discovery, hardware status
polling, the ping tool, and any other tool that must verify system availability. This option is not
available on a single-system basis.
When HP SIM attempts a connection request to a system, that system does not need any additional
software running on it for this option to work. For example, HP does not require that a web server
be running on port 80. Some networking systems might not respond to the TCP request, which is
typically seen in low-end networking equipment. You can make manual additions, if necessary.
However, this system displays as Critical if hardware status polling is run.
3. Set the Default timeout and the Default retries. If some systems are managed over a WAN or satellite
link, use a longer time-out (for example, five seconds) with at least one retry. For a LAN, you can use
a shorter time-out. You can configure this setting on a single-system basis.
4. In the WBEM settings section, verify that Enable WBEM (the default) is selected to allow WBEM
requests to be sent.
To access the Global Credentials page, select Go to the Global Credentials page to set global
WBEM certificates.
OpenWBEM is not supported.
5. In the HTTP settings section, select Enable HTTP and HTTPS if you need web-based agents and
other HTTP port scans to be identified. HP recommends leaving this option enabled for proper
management and discovery of systems.
6. In the SNMP settings section, verify that Enable SNMP (the default) is selected and specify values for
Default time out and Default retries. For systems managed over a WAN or satellite link, use a larger
