2. Verify that SysFaultMgmt provider is installed.
Depending on the System Fault Manager configuration, run the following:
cimprovider –lm SFMProviderModule
The EMSWrapperProvider appears.
or
cimprovider –ls
The EMSWrapperProvider appears.
NOTE: For more information regarding System Fault Manager, see HP System Fault
Management Diagnostics.
3. From the CMS:
To subscribe to WBEM Events, you must have root access. You can verify what credentials
are used for WBEM access 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 in the HP SIM UI to perform this
step without permanently recording a root password.
• To change the individual system:
mxnodesecurity -a -p WBEM -c \
<username:password> -n <systemname>
4. From the CMS, run the WBEM Indications/Events command line:
mxwbemsub -l -n <systemname>
For more information on subscribing and unsubscribing to WBEM indications, see the HP SIM
online help.
Setting up Linux servers to be managed by HP SIM
To be fully managed by HP SIM, HP ProLiant servers running Linux should have the Insight
Management Advisor installed. These agents are part of the ProLiant Support Pack. You can install
the ProLiant Support Pack manually, or configure it to be installed as part of your normal operating
system deployment procedures.
After setting up the management agents on the managed systems, the rest of the configuration can
be done from the HP SIM UI. Continue to Chapter 4 Chapter 4 “Credentials” for further information.
Configuring agents remotely using Configure or Repair Agents:
1. For Linux systems, select Install Linux PSP or ESX Agents.
2. Click Next. The Step 3: Configure or Repair Agents page appears.
Manually setting up Linux managed systems
Although chapters 4-7 explain how to finish configuring managed systems from the HP SIM GUI,
this section describes how to perform some of these same steps from the command line for Linux
systems. You do need to first supply credentials and discover the systems, as described in chapters
4 and 6. Then you can do the following actions from the command line, if desired.
