NOTE: If you find that you are unable to obtain agent status from within HP SIM, check the
following:
•
That you have the correct permissions associated with your login ID so that you can view
Application Discovery agent states. See “User Authorizations” in VSE Management Software
Help for information on Application Discovery authorizations.
• That the targeted managed node has been authorized to accept remote commands from HP
SIM.
To authorize the acceptance of remote commands, on the command line of the CMS, type
mxagentconfig -a -n managed_system
where managed_system is the name of the target system for which you want to enable
remote communication.
Have you recently restored or removed and reinstalled the CMS? :
A restore or removal of the central management server also removes the certificate recognition
previously established between Application Discovery server on the CMS and Application
Discovery agents on managed nodes. This relationship must be re-established when the CMS is
reinstalled or restored by completing the Application Discovery certificate exchange. See
“Completing Certificate Exchange” (page 63) for information.
