HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 153)

NOTE: STE requires a Trusted Management Servers List at each managed system to ensure that only
specified HP SIM systems can execute tasks on the system.
NOTE: On the managed system, only Trust by Certificate ensures the request came from the specified HP
SIM system. Other options, such as Trust by Name or Trust All, do not verify the digital signature of the HP
SIM system and, therefore, cannot reliably verify the sender of the request.
NOTE: Tasks using STE, such as Replicate Agent Settings and Install Software and Firmware, do not work
against a Virtual Cluster System. However, these tasks work when executed directly against the physical
systems of the
cluster .
