Configuring status change events
Perform the following procedure to configure the sending of status change events for systems when hardware
status changes to and from a Critical (unreachable) state only.
1. Select Options→Events→Status Change Event Settings. The Status Change Event Settings
page appears.
2. Select one of the following options.
• Enable creation of system status change events. This option sends a system unreachable
event whenever a system cannot be reached by a ping through the Hardware Status Polling task.
Enabling this option creates a system reachable event whenever the system is reachable again.
• Automatically clear unreachable system status change events when system is reachable.
If this option is enabled, when a system that was previously unreachable starts to respond, the
previous unreachable event is marked with a cleared state.
3. Click OK to apply changes.

WBEM indications
HP SIM enables you to add and remove subscriptions to WBEM indication events through the GUI. You can
also add and remove subscriptions to WBEM indication events from the CLI . If you do not subscribe to WBEM
indication events for a system that supports them, any WBEM events that occur will not appear on the event
table view page.
OpenSSH must be installed and set up on the CMS with the keys enabled for SSH. See “Installing OpenSSH”
for more information.
WBEM events support HP-UX, Linux, and SMI-S devices (such as storage, switches, and tape libraries).
WBEM events for HP-UX and Linux systems require WBEM services 2.0 to be installed on the managed
systems. Each managed system must have the correct event provider installed (for example, the EMS wrapper
indication (event) provider on HP-UX). See “Setting up managed systems” for information about installing
WBEM services and providers. The mxwbemsub command requires root privilege on HP-UX or Linux.
