Configuring SSH access

On the CMS, copy the SSH-generated public key from the CMS to the managed system using the
mxagentconfig

:

Use one of the following commands:

mxagentconfig -a -n -u root -f

mxagentconfig -a -n -u root -p

NOTE:

Using the -p option exposes the password through ps output, so using the -f option (with a

file only readable by root, and containing only the managed system root password) is highly
recommended when using mxagentconfig -a. If you use the -p option, enclose the password in
single quotes if the password has any special characters, such as & or $. For more information and
options, see the mxagentconfig manpage with man mxagentconfig.

Subscribing to WBEM indications/events:

NOTE:

For more information about HP-UX WBEM events, see the Systems Insight Manager online help.

Procedure 3-3 Subsribing to WBEM indications/events

1.

From the managed system, be sure WBEM is installed.

swlist -l bundle B8465BA

2.

Verify that SysFaultMgmt provider is installed.

Depending on the System Fault Manager configuration, run the following:

cimprovider –lm SFMProviderModule

The EMSWrapperProvider appears.

or

cimprovider –ls

The EMSWrapperProvider appears.

NOTE:

For more information regarding System Fault Manager, see

HP System Fault Management

Diagnostics

.

3.

From the CMS:

To subscribe to WBEM Events, you must have root access. You can verify what credentials are used for
WBEM access by running the following command line:

mxnodesecurity –l –p wbem –n

If the managed system does not have a root level user credential configured, you can add it for the
individual system.

NOTE:

You can use the Configure or Repair Agents tool in the Systems Insight Manager UI to perform

this step without permanently recording a root password.

To change the individual system:

mxnodesecurity -a -p WBEM -c \

<username:password> -n <systemname>

4.

From the CMS, run the WBEM Indications/Events command line:

mxwbemsub -l -n <systemname>
