https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/why-can-t-sim-measure-up-to-cim-5-2/m-p/3800358#M20730 I'm in an environment with about 30 Windows servers and 50 Netware servers. <BR /><BR />SIM is a huge improvement over CIM 5.2 for Windows servers, with the new automatic trust-relationships, etc. For the Netware servers though, we still find CIM 5.2 for Windows to be much easier and quicker to diagnose problems.<BR /><BR />Drilling down to determine why a server went yellow, for example, takes just seconds and requires no authentication (other than the pre-set SNMP strings). <BR /><BR />Why can't SIM function in the same way? Why must the web-based server agent require authentication to clear an alert, whereas the Win32 console version needs only SNMP strings to have full rights to the server agents?<BR /><BR />Until we're entirely off of Netware, am I just going to be better off using two solutions to manage our servers?<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR />Eric Mon, 05 Jun 2006 13:29:20 GMT ericsj 2006-06-05T13:29:20Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/why-can-t-sim-measure-up-to-cim-5-2/m-p/3800358#M20730 I'm in an environment with about 30 Windows servers and 50 Netware servers. <BR /><BR />SIM is a huge improvement over CIM 5.2 for Windows servers, with the new automatic trust-relationships, etc. For the Netware servers though, we still find CIM 5.2 for Windows to be much easier and quicker to diagnose problems.<BR /><BR />Drilling down to determine why a server went yellow, for example, takes just seconds and requires no authentication (other than the pre-set SNMP strings). <BR /><BR />Why can't SIM function in the same way?
