Setting WBEM credentials in HP SIM
Any virtual machines that are not managed nodes do not have any credentials available, and
VM Manager cannot contact them. These machines are displayed, but some of the information
that can be gathered from the managed nodes is not displayed for non-managed nodes.
You can set credentials in HP SIM for a global configuration across multiple systems by selecting
Options
→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol Settings...; for a single managed node, set
credentials by selecting Options
→Protocol Settings→System Protocol Settings.... VM
Manager requires that the proper WBEM credentials (a valid user name and password) be set
in those option pages. Without WBEM, the Virtualization Manager and HP Insight Capacity
Advisor software functionality will not be available; only HP Insight Global Workload Manager
software for Integrity (gWLM) is functional.
With HP SIM, you can set the credentials when you first launch HP SIM after installation by
using the HP SIM First Time Wizard. For information about setting credentials, see the HP Insight
Dynamics - VSE 6.0: Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide.
Setting WBEM credentials in HP SMH
You must set
credentials for virtual machines in HP SMH. This allows VM Manager to
collect utilization data and operating system information on the virtual machine. Stored credentials
are specific to the user logged in to HP SMH. Two users who are logged in with different user
names do not share credentials.
When you log into SMH without having already set the WBEM credentials and saving them in
the file system, the Set WBEM Credentials for Virtual Machines page is displayed. When you
create a new virtual machine, you must add credentials for that virtual machine by selecting
Modify
→WBEM Credentials... from the VM Manager menu bar, which displays the same page.
shows an example of the Set WBEM Credentials for Virtual Machines page.
