check whether /opt/mx directory is created and check for process like mx_start etc in the ps

and also try to connect to that machine through port 280. eg: from a browser window type http://localhost:280 and see whether it shows hp sim login page

To see if a HPUX server is installed as the management server (CMS), can look with the swlist command
swlist -l product | grep -i insight
The response will be
SysMgmtAgent C.04.02.00.00 Systems Insight Manager Agent Product
SysMgmtServer C.04.02.00.00 Systems Insight Manager Server Product
(Versioning might be different for you but you get the idea)

To see if systems are being managed you can open the HPSIM and view the ALL SYSTEMS page and this will give details.

Also, the /opt/mx directory will exist on the various nodes.

Assuming the CMS is installed on HPUX server.
There will be several processes running

What I get;

# ps -ef | grep mx
postgres 25362 1646 0 May 13 ? 1:37 postgres: mxadmin insight_v1_0 127.0.0.1 idle
postgres 8848 1646 0 14:39:11 ? 0:32 postgres: mxadmin insight_v1_0 127.0.0.1 idle
root 25334 1 0 May 13 ? 69:11 /opt/mx/lbin/mxdomainmgr
postgres 10037 1646 0 15:05:21 ? 0:27 postgres: mxadmin insight_v1_0 127.0.0.1 idle
root 25336 1 0 May 13 ? 7:00 /opt/mx/lbin/mxagent
root 25335 1 0 May 13 ? 4:52 /opt/mx/lbin/mxdtf
postgres 4220 1646 0 May 16 ? 1:13 postgres: mxadmin insight_v1_0 127.0.0.1 idle
root 23272 29865 0 06:54:41 pts/1 0:00 grep mx

Have you gone through the initial setup and configuration? Is the postgresql initialized? Have you done the mxstart command?

This site has lots of good docs

there could be two reasons:

1. You have only SIM client modules installed which also install in /opt/mx directory

2. SIM is not listening on the localhost port, try with IP address of the machine which you suspect has SIM installed.

eg: http://192.168.1.1:280
