10 Managed environment

The Managed Environment feature enables you to select the operating systems that you will manage.
There are four options: Windows, Linux, HP-UX, and Other. The selections made here configure
HP SIM to hide collections, tools, and reports for operating systems you do not manage.

NOTE:

These settings can be changed at any time, and the hidden collections, tools, and reports

can be made visible again.

If you select Linux or HP-UX, you can select to have GlancePlus or Ignite-UX and Software Distributor
menu items appear in HP SIM. The HP-UX menu items are for handling Integrity Extensions on a
Windows or Linux CMS and are not available on an HP-UX CMS.

If both Linux and HP-UX are selected, the same user name must be specified for GlancePlus in
both the places. Root user is used if no user name is specified.

If you select HP-UX, select Ignite UX and Software Distributor, and then enter the IP address of the
ignite server and the SSH credentials (Host based or User based).

NOTE:

The password field is populated with a dump value, not with the actual password supplied

by user. Dump value is used as a security measure. All selections are retained when you move
around in the UI. The same selections are retained in Options

→Managed Environment page.
