OSEM port discovery
HP SIM discovers the OSEM application on port 2069. To view this, perform one of the following:
• In HP SIM, access the All Systems view, and then select a system from the System Name column. Click
the Tools & Links tab to verify if OSEM is displayed under the System Web Application Pages. If
it is displayed, that means that HP SIM has discovered the OSEM application on port 2069. By selecting
OSEM, the OSEM Event Viewer is displayed.
• Use Advanced Search and perform the following: Search for systems where web agent is OSEM and
select View to see which systems have OSEM installed, and then continue as in the previous bullet to

Creating a paging task based on e-mail notification
You can set up a notification task that causes HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to send an e-mail that
can then be forwarded to a BlackBerry, cell phone (for example, SMS), and other paging interface application
whenever the Central Management Server (CMS) receives a Critical, Major, or Minor event.
IMPORTANT: When using time filters, you can use on-call style e-mails or pages. If you want one person
to be notified during business hours and another at night, create two different tasks and set the time filter
appropriately.
NOTE: This same type of task configuration can be applied to a Paging Task to use a modem in the HP
SIM server to page through a BlackBerry or alphanumeric pager.
NOTE: Paging is only supported on a CMS running Windows.
