System Insight Manager Version Control Repository account

Brent Smyth — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:21:33 GMT

Hello all,

I have installed SIM 5.2 and configured VCRM and VCA on several machines.

We are adding a new group of servers with a different group of administrators.

I want to setup access to the Repository for the VCA on the new machines using a generic account.

I have created a local Windows account on the SIM and VCRM server which is part of the Windows Power User group.

I have not been able to determine what tools and authorizations I need to setup in SIM.

Can anyone provide info, or a document?

Much appreciated.

Brent

It doesn't use any of the HPSIM Users for the VCA / VCRM access.
We use a local account on the VCRM Server itself for access. That account is not in HPSIM.
You can use Domain Accounts, but again it doesn't need to be in HPSIM.

Rob,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I have now created both a local account and a domain account and added both of them to the Power Users group on the VCRM machine. I also granted both accounts Full Control to the Repository directory on the VCRM machine. I am still unable to change the VCA agent settings to login to the VCRM using either of these accounts.

Am I missing something?

Does the account have to be an admin on either the VCRM machine or the machine where I am configuring the VCA agent?

Thanks again,

Brent

We are also set up the way Rob explained.
We created one local user account on the VCRM server, and made it a local administrator. You do not need to create the user on each server with a VCA, ONLY on the VCRM server. After doing this you should be able to configure your various VCA's.

Thank you both very much!

Making the account a local admin on the VCRM machine did the trick.
