HP Device Monitor (v 1.1) for Microsoft System Center User Guide

TIP:
• The Onboard Administrator credentials must be updated in the DMC if the credentials are
changed on the managed enclosure's Onboard Administrator.
• The community string must be updated in the DMC if the community string is changed on the
managed Linux, VMware, or Agentless server.
1. Open the DMC.
2. Select the monitor connection for the device you are updating.
The current devices on the connection are displayed in the Discovered Devices pane.
3. Right-click the device you are updating and select Update.
4. Enter the appropriate credentials:
• If you are updating a Linux, VMware, or Agentless server, enter the Community String.
• If you are updating an Onboard Administrator, enter the credentials.
5. Click OK.
Setting up a non-administrator account to use the DMC
To connect the DMS from the DMC and manage the devices, non-administrator users must be
granted the following access permissions to local or remote DMS resources:
• Full Control access to the registry key located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
Hewlett-Packard\HP SCOM Management Packs\HPDeviceMonitorService
• Read/write/execute permissions to the HP Device Monitor Service folder located at %Program
Files%\HP SCOM Management Packs\HP Device Monitor Service. Ensure that
all files in the HP Device Monitor Service folder have read/write/execute permissions, including
CSDataLayer.dll.
IMPORTANT: Although it is possible to manage devices using a non-administrator account, this
is not recommended. If a non-administrator account is used, no events are logged in the HP Device
Monitor event log if a problem occurs.
When a non-administrator account is used, events can be viewed in the device monitor logs
generated under %ProgramFiles%\HP SCOM Management Packs\HP Device Monitor
Service.
NOTE: A non-administrator user needs to be added to the HP Device Monitor Service folder and
given “registry key” permissions to access DMS/DMC. Just adding the non-administrator user to
the local administrator group will not grant access to DMS/DMC.
