HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 25)

Configuring SSH access
On the CMS, copy the SSH-generated public key from the CMS to the managed system using the
mxagentconfig
:
Use one of the following commands:
•
mxagentconfig -a -n <hostname> -u root -f <file_with_root_password>
•
mxagentconfig -a -n <hostname> -u root -p <root_password>
NOTE: Using the -p option exposes the password through ps output, so using the -f option (with a
file only readable by root, and containing only the managed system root password) is highly
recommended when using mxagentconfig -a. If you use the -p option, enclose the password in
single quotes if the password has any special characters, such as & or $. For more information and
options, see the mxagentconfig manpage with man mxagentconfig.
Subscribing to WBEM indications/events:
NOTE: For more information about HP-UX WBEM events, see the Systems Insight Manager online help.
Procedure 3-3 Subsribing to WBEM indications/events
1. From the managed system, be sure WBEM is installed.
swlist -l bundle B8465BA
2. Verify that SysFaultMgmt provider is installed.
Depending on the System Fault Manager configuration, run the following:
cimprovider –lm SFMProviderModule
The EMSWrapperProvider appears.
or
cimprovider –ls
The EMSWrapperProvider appears.
NOTE: For more information regarding System Fault Manager, see HP System Fault Management
Diagnostics .
3. From the CMS:
To subscribe to WBEM Events, you must have root access. You can verify what credentials are used for
WBEM access by running the following command line:
mxnodesecurity –l –p wbem –n <systemname>
If the managed system does not have a root level user credential configured, you can add it for the
individual system.
NOTE: You can use the Configure or Repair Agents tool in the Systems Insight Manager UI to perform
this step without permanently recording a root password.
• To change the individual system:
mxnodesecurity -a -p WBEM -c \
<username:password> -n <systemname>
4. From the CMS, run the WBEM Indications/Events command line:
mxwbemsub -l -n <systemname>
