HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 192)

MX_JOB_KEEP_RUN_NOW_HOURS=8
Recommended value is 8 for greater than 1500 systems
After the MX.PROPERTIES file has been modified, restart the HP SIM service to initiate the changes.
Ping
HP recommends you do not disable ping in hardware status polling tasks. If the ping protocol from
hardware status polling task is disabled, then other polling protocol statuses like SNMP, WBEM,
OOB, WSMAN, and so on will be affected. There will be no polling done for these protocols and
the status shown in the UI for these protocols will be that of the previously collected data before
disabling ping protocol.
Ports used by HP SIM.
By default, HP SIM uses port 5989 to communicate with the WBEM server of the systems it monitors.
To use a different port for this purpose, complete the following:
1.
The wbemportlist.xml file used by HP SIM must be altered to add the additional or
alternate WBEM port to be used. The file is located in C:\Program Files\HP\Systems
Insight Manager\Config\Identification
. This example shows where the new lines
(in red) must be added to the <wbemportlist> tag in the xml file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'>
<wbemportlist>
<port id='5989' protocol='https'>
<cimnamespacelist>
<cimnamespace name='root/cimv2'/>
<cimnamespace name='vmware/esxv2'/>
<cimnamespace name='root/hpq'/>
</cimnamespacelist>
<interopnamespacelist>
<interopnamespace name='interop'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/pg_interop'/>
<interopnamespace name='root'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/emulex'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/qlogic'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/ibm'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/emc'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/smis/current'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/hitachi/dm51'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/interop'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/switc'/>
<interopnamespace name='root/cimv2'/>
</interopnamespacelist>
</port>
<port id='2718' protocol='https'>
<cimnamespacelist>
<cimnamespace name='root/cimv2'/>
</cimnamespacelist>
</port>
</wbemportlist>
2. Restart the HP SIM service.
3. Right-click the Systems Insight Manager service in Windows Services API, and click restart
from the dropdown menu.
