Fill out the table below for each partition/server (an nPar or vPar VSE partition in a cell based server) to be

partition/servers are to be monitored, please duplicate this page and complete one table for each

• On Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), by default, only user accounts that belong to the pegasus group
have remote WBEM access permission.
