Installing WMI Mapper on a different server than where HP SIM is installed requires these steps: • Move - HP BL2x220c | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP System In - Page 15
Figure 12. Mapper service Figure 13 shows the screen in HP SIM used to configure the Mapper. Figure 13. WMI Mapper Proxy configuration 15 - HP BL2x220c | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP System In - Page 16
Using HP SIM to install and configure HP Insight Management WBEM Providers on a managed node 1. Make sure the WMI Mapper is configured in HP SIM. For more information, see Configuring the WMI Mapper in HP SIM. 2. Identify ProLiant servers through HP SIM. See the HP SIM Technical Reference Guide for - HP BL2x220c | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP System In - Page 17
or more managed nodes. Figure 15 shows the window in which Providers and agents should be installed. Figure 15. Configure or Repair Agents - Install Providers and Agents window 5. Configure a non-Administrator user. 6. Subscribe to WBEM events. 7. Trigger a test indication to confirm the WBEM event - HP BL2x220c | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP System In - Page 18
, and then populate the WBEM credentials table. 4. Discover ProLiant Windows servers that have the HP Insight Management WBEM Providers installed. 5. Once discovered, the ProLiant Windows servers display in the HP SIM All Systems list. 6. Access the System page and confirm that WBEM is a discovered - HP BL2x220c | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP System In - Page 19
