HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Technical Reference Guide

4 Initial setup
The initial setup involves setting up managed systems, configuring discovery, configuring event
handling, adding users, and defining authorizations. It assumes that you just completed the
installation of your CMS. If you bypassed or canceled the First Time Wizard, the following steps
assist you in setting up your environment to run HP SIM.
NOTE: The First Time Wizard starts the first time a user with administrative rights signs in to HP
SIM. If the wizard is canceled before completion, it restarts each time a user with administrative
rights signs in. You can cancel and disable the wizard from automatically starting by selecting the
Do not automatically show this wizard again checkbox. You can manually start the wizard by
selecting Options→First Time Wizard.
If you are a new administrator of an existing management domain, it might be useful for you to
familiarize yourself with these steps, even though your CMS has already been through the initial
setup. The steps in this process are common tasks that HP SIM administrators perform on a regular
basis.
