Configuring privilege elevation

Some tools in HP SIM are defined to run as root on an HP-UX or Linux managed system. HP SIM enables you to configure privilege elevation allowing you to sign in as an unprivileged user and elevate the privilege to run on these operating systems.

To configure privilege elevation for ESX systems, select Enable privilege elevation for VMware ESX.
To configure privilege elevation for Linux and HP-UX systems, select Enable privilege elevation for Linux & HP-UX.
Select the elevation tool type from the menu.
If a password is required for the tool, select A password is required for this privilege elevation tool.
(Optional) Edit the Privilege elevation tool command.
Select the user to sign in to the managed system:
- Same as HP SIM signed-in user
- Specify at run time
- Use this user and enter the user name
To go to the next First Time Wizard step, click Next, or to return to the previous step, click Previous.
