Use this tool to create a simple command line tool that runs on target single-system aware (SSA) systems. This tool creates a temporary XML tool definition file under /var/tmp then loads it with the command mxtool -af file. You only need to enter data into the required fields.

If you define this tool to run as root, any user authorized to run this tool might be able to gain full access to the managed system depending on how you define the command and what its capabilities are. Otherwise, the tool runs as the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) user and that user's SSH public key must be configured on the managed system using the mxagentconfig command.

To create a new command line tool:

  1. Select ToolsCommand Line ToolsNew Command Line ToolsNew Command Line Tool. The New Command Line Tool page appears.

  2. Under Parameters, add information using the standard tool parameters. The following fields are required:

    • Tool name

    • Tool command (with parameter if needed)

  3. Click [Run Now] to run the task to create a new tool immediately or click [Schedule] to schedule when the task runs. Refer to Managing with Tasks - Scheduling a Task for more information on scheduling a task.
