To subscribe to WBEM Events, you must have root access. If the Global Protocol Setting does not match
the managed system or does not contain root access, the subscription for WBEM Indications fails. You
can verify what access WBEM has by running the following command line:
mxnodesecurity –l –p wbem –n <systemname>
If the managed system does not have a root level user credential configured, you can add it for the
individual system.
NOTE: You can use the Configure or Repair Agents tool to perform this step without permanently
recording a root password.
To change the individual system:
mxnodesecurity -a -p WBEM -c \
<username:password> -n <systemname>
From the CMS, run the WBEM Indications/Events command line:
mxwbemsub -l -n <systemname>
