HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) enables you to add and remove subscriptions to Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) indication events through the graphical user interface (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 View Page.

OpenSSH must be installed and set up on the central management server (CMS) with the keys enabled for SSH. Refer to Tools that Extend Management - Installing OpenSSH for more information.

WBEM events work on 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). Refer to Administering Systems and Events - 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, they should be deleted and added 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 OptionsEventsSubscribe to WBEM Events and OptionsEventsUnsubscribe to WBEM Events.
