Entering WBEM settings

HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) uses the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) protocol to communicate with managed systems. You can enter WBEM settings in the First Time Wizard or in the HP SIM menu bar. (GUI) To disable WBEM communication or enter settings in the GUI, select OptionsProtocol SettingsGlobal Protocol Settings.

If you do not have WBEM systems in your network, you do not need to enter information here. If you have WBEM systems and you do not enter the user names and passwords for these systems, HP SIM will not discover them.




	NOTE: See the HP Systems Insight Manager 5.1 User Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more information on fine tuning protocol settings for a single system or a group of similar systems.

In the User Name, Password, and Confirm Password fields, enter as many default user names and passwords as needed. These defaults apply to all newly discovered systems.
If your network includes storage systems, enter the user name and password of each SMI CIMOM in this section. For example, if you have an HP HBA (Emulex OEM) for Windows, enter the user name cimadmin and password pwd580. See your storage system's SMI-S provider documentation for information about the SMI CIMOM username and password.
The system identification process attempts each user name and password pair until a successful response is obtained. Future WBEM requests to a system use the user name and password that succeeded. For Windows-based systems, the user name must include the domain name, for example, domainname\username.
Note: Enter the name and password pairs such that root and administrator passwords are listed first and user and guest passwords are listed second. This order minimizes the search time.
Click Next to go to the next First Time Wizard step.
Note: The users used for WBEM access do not need to be configured to sign in.
