WBEM and HP SIM
For HP-UX, WBEM is included in the operating system install. For Linux Itanium Processor Family
(IPF), if WBEM is not installed, it must be manually installed. Go to the HP Software Depot (http://
www.software.hp.com) to download. The WBEM download from the openPegasus website does
not include the hardware specific data for HP SIM to manage Linux x86 systems.
NOTE: Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is the implementation of WBEM from
Microsoft.
NOTE: A CIMOM acts as the interface for communication between WBEM providers and
management applications such as HP SIM.
The CMS must have the correct credentials to authenticate to WBEM and WMI. There are two
ways to authenticate client certificates:
• Basic authentication to WBEM Services or WMI using user name and password.
• Using the CMS certificate to authenticate is available only for HP-UX WBEM Services 2.50
or greater, which supports client certificate authentication. Use the Configure or Repair Agents
Use an HP SIM WBEM certificate (good for 10 years) rather than username/password to
manage the system option to deploy a WBEM certificate to the managed system and is only
valid for HP-UX systems.
