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 Options Events Subscribe to WBEM Events and Options Events Unsubscribe to WBEM Events.
