Chapter 12 Initial Setup

The initial setup involves steps for setting up managed systems, configuring discovery, configuring event handling, adding users, and defining authorizations. It assumes that you just completed the installation of your Central Management Server (CMS).

The procedures in this process are common tasks that HP Systems Insight Manager (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.
