SOFTPAQ NUMBER: SP25020 PART NUMBER: N/A FILE NAME: SP25020.EXE TITLE: WMI Mapper for HP systems Insight Manager VERSION: 1.2 LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Software Solutions DIVISIONS: Systems PRODUCTS AFFECTED: HP ProLiant and ProSignia Servers OPERATING SYSTEM: Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2003 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: N/A PREREQUISITES: None EFFECTIVE DATE: December 15, 2003 ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION: None SUPERSEDES: None DESCRIPTION: WMI Mapper for HP systems Insight Manager, version 1.2 The WMI Mapper makes it possible to retrieve WMI instrumented data on a Windows machine via WBEM requests. This is particularly useful when Windows machines are being managed from an HP-UX or Linux version of HP Systems Insight Manager (which cannot communicate via WMI). The Windows version of HP Systems Insight Manager installs this WMI Mapper locally so that it can make WMI requests across the network to the devices without the need to install the WMI Mapper on the managed Windows devices. This softpack allows the the WMI Mapper to be installed on any Microsoft Windows supported system to facilitate the proxy requests (does not have to be on the HP Systems Insight Manager server itself). Once installed, browse into HP Systems Insight Manager and specify on the Options/Global Settings/ WMI Mapper Proxy setting and specify the server now running the WMI Mapper. NOTE: The WMI Mapper only needs to be installed on at least one system on the network - all managed nodes do NOT need this to be installed on the systems. The only reason to install the WMI Mapper on more than one system would be to facilitate the proxy on a regional basis or a similar setup. HOW TO USE: 1.
