are used for WBEM access by running the following command line:

for the individual system.

NOTE:

You can use the Configure or Repair Agents tool in the HP SIM UI to perform this

step without permanently recording a root password.

Setting up Linux servers to be managed by HP SIM

To be fully managed by HP SIM, HP ProLiant servers running Linux should have the Insight
Management Advisor installed. These agents are part of the ProLiant Support Pack. You can install
the ProLiant Support Pack manually, or configure it to be installed as part of your normal operating
system deployment procedures.

After setting up the management agents on the managed systems, the rest of the configuration can
be done from the HP SIM UI. Continue to Chapter 4
