a.
In the Computer Name field, enter the name or IP address of a system with a VCRM
installed. Specifying the name of a computer with a VCRM installed allows a more
detailed
to be generated and provides a way to update HP software
on the system.
b.
In the Login Account field, enter a login that has the appropriate security level for the
SMH on the specified system. The type of account, account name and password depend
on whether the SMH or Management HTTP Server is installed at the system specified
in the previous step. This account must have Operator or Administrator level at the
VCRM system, so it is recommended that you use a browser to verify the login account
and password before entering it.
Note: You must enter the administrator or operator account defined in the SMH and
provide the appropriate password for the VCA to download software from the VCRM.
If anonymous access is disabled at the VCRM, you must enter at least an account with
user privileges and provide the appropriate password for the VCA to provide software
status by comparing the inventory with what is available at the VCRM.
For Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, you might be
unable to access the VCRM because Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server
2003 Service Pack 1implements a software firewall that prevents browsers or other
clients from accessing the ports required for access to the VCRM. To resolve this issue,
you must configure the firewall with exceptions to allow access through the ports used
by HP SIM, VCA and other VCRMs.
To configure the firewall exceptions:
a.
Select Start
→Settings→Control Panel.
b.
Double-click Windows Firewall to configure the firewall settings.
c.
Select Exceptions.
d.
Click Add Port.
You must enter the product name and the port number.
Add the following exceptions to the firewall protection:
Port Number

2301
HP SMH Insecure Port:

Note: For more information regarding HP SIM secure and insecure ports, refer to
the HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide at
in
the Troubleshooting help file under Login Problems section.
e.
Click OK to save your settings and close the Add a Port dialog box.
f.
Click OK to save your settings and close the Windows Firewall dialog box.
This configuration leaves the default SP2 security enhancements in tact, but will allow
traffic over the ports previously indicated. The secure and insecure ports must be added
to enable proper communication from your browser and other clients that access the
VCRM.
c.
In the Password field, enter the appropriate password for the login account that you
selected in the Login Account field.
