Identify System fails using WBEM

[Mario Schäfer]

I'm testing WBEM as an alternate to SNMP, but can't intergrate systems in HP SIM. The identify of systems over WBEM fails.

I'm using HP SIM 5.3 and have configured sign-in credentials, installed HP WBEM Providers on client manually and on another client over "Configure and Repair Agents". I've dicovered both devices before. When I run "Identify System" for both servers I'll get error messages that WBEM Support is not detected, see the complete identification log below.
The user configured in the sign-in credentials is an administrator of both clients.
If I install the System Management Homepage on the clients, I'm able to see data inventory data delivered from WBEM. However the integration in HP SIM still fails.

I've already spend hours of reading manuals and the HP Board. Seems like there are a few other users with the same problem but without a solution. Can anybody help?

Mario, let me know if you ever figure this one out. I've been dealing with this exact issue for two days now.

[Mario Schäfer]

Hi odavila, i will post in this thread if I find a solution.

Short Update: HP SIM is in a different subnet than the two testservers, but none ports are blocked. All traffic will be submitted.

Any ideas someone? Perhaps an expert from HP can give us some help in this thread?

Have you configured a WMI mapper proxy? It is under Options->Protocol Settings WMI mapper proxy

[Mario Schäfer]

I've thought that the WMI-Mapper Proxy have been installed with standard installation of HP SIM, but it dont't seems so.

So I've installed the WMI-Mapper Proxy subsequently. After that, the identify of systems over WBEM was successful.
