Configuring managed systems

The Configure Managed Systems page in the First Time Wizard enables you to configure managed systems as they are discovered and to specify parameters for running the Configure or Repair Agents. This step is skipped if you did not configure discovery on the First Time Wizard Discovery page. All steps are optional and can be configured from the HP SIM Options menu at a later time. To skip this step, click Next to go to the next First Time Wizard step.

Under Configure SNMP, select from the following:
