HP Toptools for Unicenter

User Guide


The Explore PC part of the Configuration page provides a more unformatted view of the information available from
the DMI layer of the remote system. Figure 5-13 shows a sample of this information, with the window displaying
the DMI Service Layer (SP) Indication Subscription part of the HP Vectra PC MIF. ‘Subscribers’ are addresses to
which the DMI agent will send alerts to. With HP Toptools for Unicenter, the Toptools server subscribes the
Unicenter server to the PC so that the PC will send DMI alerts directly to Unicenter.

Figure 5-13. Every DMI variable can be examined via the Configuration page.

The Security tab contains three sub-sections: Passwords, Settings, and Actions. The Passwords page is shown in
Figure 5-14. This page permits modifications of the power-on password and power-on password control.

The DMI or WMI power-on passwords are stored in encrypted form on the Toptools server system. If you attempt
to invoke a DMI or WMI action, these passwords are used to request authorization. If you attempt an action with
the wrong password, the Toptools web page will prompt you to enter the correct one.

Figure 5-14. The power-on passwords can be changed using the Security page.
