HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 189)

Functionality when enabled Description Management standard
Identification, inventory, and events A DMTF standard for exchanging
management information using web WS-Management
services. You can use
WS-Management to transport CIM as
an alternative to CIM-XML.
Identification, inventory, and events WMI is Microsoft's implementation of
WBEM. WMI runs over
Distributed
WMI
Component Object Model (DCOM),
which in turn, uses RPC. For Windows
systems behind a firewall, HP
recommends installing the WMI
Mapper on a managed system in the
secure network. This mapper allows
standard CIM-XML requests through
the firewall, and they are mapped to
WMI requests on the managed system.
Configuring protocol settings in HP SIM
You can use HP SIM to set protocol settings for all systems, for a group of systems, or for an
individual system. You can control the way HP SIM uses these protocols, such as configuring default
timeouts and retries, or disabling HP SIM's use of the protocol entirely.
To set protocol settings for all systems, access the Global Protocol Settings page in one of the
following ways:
•
Select Options
→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol Settings.
•
From the Discovery page, click Configure global protocol settings in the Discovery configuration
section.
Setting protocol settings for a single system or group of systems, access the System Protocol Settings
page in one of the following ways:
•
From the All Systems page, click the System Name link of the system to go to the System Page
for that system, and then click the System Protocol Settings link on the Tools & Links tab page.
•
From the HP SIM menu, select Options
→Protocol Settings→System Protocol Settings, and then
select the single system to set its protocol settings.
