HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

Subscribing to health lifecycle events
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) enables you to add and remove health lifecycle event subscriptions
for HP NonStop Kernel servers. This procedure is performed using the command line interface (CLI). If you
subscribe to health lifecycle events for an HP NonStop Kernel server, when the server's status changes,
notification is sent to HP SIM and the server status is updated immediately in the GUI instead of waiting for
the next status collection.
1. Sign into the CLI. See “Signing in” for instructions.
2. Enter one of the following commands:
• To add a health lifecycle event subscription for one or more servers, enter:
mxwbemsub -a [destination] ( ( -n nodenames ) | ( -f filename ) ) [-t
health]
The target system (node) names can be entered through the command line or an input file. Each
system name, entered on the command line or in a file, can be the IP address, hostname, or
fully-qualified name of the system. You can specify the destination CMS for the subscriptions. If the
destination is not included, the default is the CMS on which the command is run.
• To remove a health lifecycle event subscription for one or more servers, enter:
mxwbemsub -r [destination] ( ( -n nodenames ) | ( -f filename ) ) [-t
health]
The target system (node) names can be entered through the command line or an input file. Each
system name, entered on the command line or in a file, can be the IP address, hostname, or
fully-qualified name of the system. This command can delete subscriptions from another CMS. If a
CMS is not specified, the default is to remove subscriptions from the CMS on which the command
is run.
NOTE: See the HP SIM 5.2 Command Line Interface Reference Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/
products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for detailed information about mxwbemsub.

Check event configuration
Use this tool any time to verify if a system is configured for receiving events either from SNMP traps or
Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) indications. To receive SNMP events, the Central Management
Server (CMS) IP address must be in the trap destination list on the managed systems. However, this tool only
checks for Windows systems which have an System Management Homepage (SMH) trust relationship with
CMS. To receive WBEM indications, the WBEM Services installed on the managed system must support
sending indications and the subscription must be created from the CMS.
