Tools are applications, commands, or scripts that are launched from within HP SIM. You can add custom tools to HP SIM and execute them across multiple systems simultaneously. Three types of tools are supported in the HP SIM environment: Web tools, X Window tools, and command line tools.

web toolsWeb tools must reside on a web server. The web server can be running on the CMS or a managed system. HP SIM launches the URL from a CLI or GUI. When a web tool is launched from the command line, HP SIM opens a browser to display the tool. When a web tool is launched from the HP SIM GUI, it opens in the workspace or in a separate browser window.
X Window toolsX Window tools require that an X server is running. These tools can reside on the CMS or on a managed system. When accessing HP SIM from a network client, you must have X server software running on the network client to execute an X Window tool. From the CLI or GUI, HP SIM invokes the X Window application using the command line and passes the location of the X server by requesting the device for display from the user.
Command line toolsCommand line tools include applications, commands, and scripts. They can reside on the CMS or another managed system. They can be launched directly from the CLI or GUI.
