System Protocol Settings page If the user does not supply credentials at the global level, then the user can declare the credentials at the managed node level. From the System page the user selects the "Tools & Links" tab, "System Protocol Settings." Once the system credentials are entered, the user must run "Identify" so that the credentials are validated (see Figure 4). The credentials will only be applied to the managed node that is selected. Figure 4. HP SIM System Protocol Settings page During the identification process, HP SIM determines if a managed node is running an ESXi operating system. If an ESXi operating system is running, HP SIM attempts to contact both the VMware providers and HP Insight Providers. HP SIM identification will create a path to these providers so that it can immediately contact and collect data from the appropriate providers. The HP SIM Systems page provides an overview of the managed node. The Systems page summary includes IP and DNS information, links to additional management tools such as property pages, and WBEM events list. Figure 5 provides examples of how the HP SIM Systems page integrates with HP Insight Providers. 8
