Entering WBEM settings

In the User name, Password, and Confirm password fields, enter a default user name and password as needed. To add additional default user name and password pairs, click Add. To delete user name and password pairs, click Delete. These defaults apply to all newly discovered systems.

HP recommends limiting WBEM user name and password pairs to 10 to reduce the overall discovery run time. To add more than 10 WBEM user name and password pairs, run the mxnodesecurity -a -p wbem -c username:password command for each additional set. You can also create an XML file that defines your system authorizations before running discovery.

If your network includes storage systems, enter the user name and password of each SMI CIMOM in this section. For example, if you have an HP host bus adapter (HBA) (Emulex OEM) for Windows, enter the user name cimadmin and password pwd580. See your storage system's SMI-S provider documentation for information about the SMI CIMOM user name and password.

The system identification process attempts each user name and password pair until a successful response is obtained. Future WBEM requests to a system will use the user name and password that succeeded the system identification process. For Windows-based systems, the user name must include the domain name, for example, domainname\username.

Enter the user name and password pairs such that root and administrator passwords are listed first and user and guest passwords are listed second. This order minimizes the search time.

In the WMI Mapper Proxy section, enter the mapper proxy Hostname and Port Number. If a WMI Mapper Proxy has already been discovered, it appears here.

If you have selected not to manage Windows systems on the previous page, this section is not displayed.

To go to the next First Time Wizard step, click Next, or to return to the previous step, click Previous to return to the previous step.

The users that are used for WBEM access do not need to be configured to sign-in.
