NOTE:

STE requires a Trusted Management Servers List at each managed system to ensure that only

specified HP SIM systems can execute tasks on the system.

NOTE:

On the managed system, only Trust by Certificate ensures the request came from the specified HP

SIM system. Other options, such as Trust by Name or Trust All, do not verify the

digital signature

of the HP

SIM system and, therefore, cannot reliably verify the sender of the request.

NOTE:

Tasks using STE, such as Replicate Agent Settings and Install Software and Firmware, do not work

against a Virtual Cluster System. However, these tasks work when executed directly against the physical
systems of the

cluster

.
