WBEM indications

HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) enables you to add and remove subscriptions to Web-Based Enterprise
Management (WBEM) indication events through the GUI. You can also add and remove subscriptions to
WBEM indication events from the

command line interface

(CLI). If you do not subscribe to WBEM indication

events for a system that supports them, any WBEM events that occur will not appear on the event table view
page.

OpenSSH must be installed and set up on the

Central Management Server

(CMS) with the keys enabled for

SSH. See

“Installing OpenSSH”

for more information.

WBEM events support HP-UX, Linux, and SMI-S devices (such as storage, switches, and tape libraries).
WBEM events for HP-UX and Linux systems require WBEM services 2.0 to be installed on the managed
systems. Each managed system must have the correct event provider installed (for example, the EMS wrapper
indication (event) provider on HP-UX). See

“Setting up managed systems”

for information on installing WBEM

services and providers. The mxwbemsub command requires root privilege on HP-UX or Linux. OpenSSH is
only used when menu tools are executed. If mxwbemsub is executed at the command line, it does not require
OpenSSH.

To set the port on which WBEM indications are received, edit the globalsettings.props file and the
WBEM_indications_Listener_Port

property. The default value for the port is 50004

(WBEM_indications_Listener_Port=50004). If this port is unavailable, edit the file and assign a
suitable value. If HP SIM is running, stop the service and restart it for the new port to be accessed. If WBEM
event subscriptions have been set up with the default port settings, delete and add the subscriptions again
so that the new port is used when WBEM events are sent to the CMS.

You can subscribe and unsubscribe to WBEM indication events. To access these options, select
