Infrastructure management using the HP SIM command line interface (436331-002, January 2009)

The mxnodesecurity command is useful when there are more credentials in use than the

mxglobalprotocolsettings command allows, and in environments where each system has

unique credentials.

To remove the WBEM or SNMP credentials from a system, run the following command:

# mxnodesecurity –r –p wbem –n nodeName1

# mxnodesecurity –r –p snmp –n nodeName1

To remove credentials from a list of system, run the following command:

# mxnodesecurity –r –f credential.xml

Running discovery

The mxnode command enables you to add, delete, modify, identify, or list systems in HP SIM. Before

using mxnode, you must configure the global protocol settings, and access credentials set, as

described above. After the systems are added, identification and data collection run automatically.

You can add systems using the system host name or IP address, provided on the command line or in

an XML file. See the man page mxnode for command usage details, and the man page mxnode(4) for

XML file formatting details.

The mxnode command provides two methods to add a system:

# mxnode –a nodeName1 ipAddr1

# mxnode –a –f nodes.xml

The first example shows adding two systems, one using the system name, and the other using the

system IP address. The second example uses an XML file, nodes.xml, to add all of the systems in the

file. After the systems are added, the identification process is executed. The following is an example

of what nodes.xml might contain:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<node-list>

<node>

<sw-attribute name="IPAddress">192.1.1.1</sw-attribute>

</node>

</node-list>

The syntax to modify and re-identify systems is:

# mxnode –m nodeName1 nodeName2
