The initial setup of HP SIM involves steps for setting up managed systems, configuring discovery, configuring event handling, adding users, and defining authorizations. To perform initial setup, you must complete the installation of your Central Management Server (CMS).
The procedures in this process are common tasks that HP SIM administrators perform on a regular basis. If you are a new administrator of an existing management domain, it might be useful for you to familiarize yourself with these procedures even though your CMS has already been through the initial setup.
