Hi,
CMS Server - Windows 2012 R2
Target server - Widows 2012 R2
Latest version of SIM -7.3 with hotfix
Everything was working fine, but for some reason when I attempt to re-identify systems, I get the following error in the task results:
Critical: HP SIM cannot communicate with these systems using the WBEM protocol
Now I can’t use WBEM to monitor these systems.
It’s happening on all of my servers so it must be a problem on the CMS server. For testing, the firewall has been disabled on both the CMS server and target server.
Which logs can I check and where are they?
Thanks loads in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Here's the results from the task
********* Significant issues and overall target discovery/identification
status:
Normal: The system has valid hardware data (model, serial number, and
unique identifier) and has been identified properly for SIM to
manage.
Critical: HP SIM cannot communicate with these systems using the WBEM
protocol.
********* Additional results (listed for information only):
* Starting identification process...
* Checking for known running web servers...
* Checking for SNMP protocol support on system...
Normal: The system responded to an SNMP request; it supports SNMP Protocol
and has a valid read community string.
* Checking for SNMPv3 protocol support on system...

CIMOM locally installed on the managed system using the WBEM

the WMI Mapper as proxy; for Linux and HP-UX systems, check
credentials by going to Options->Security->Credentials->System
Credentials. For Linux systems also check if the HP WBEM provider
is installed.

Minor: Identification cannot get computer system hardware data from the
WBEM / WMI providers.

Re: communication Issues with WBEM when identifying systems
Hello thrre,
Did you update the Pegasus WMI mapper application? You could update it or uninstall and reinstall the app.

Re: communication Issues with WBEM when identifying systems
Great, thanks for the reply.
No I didn't. Is this separate from the SIM hotfix update? How do I go about updating this? I take it this is on the CMS sever?

Re: communication Issues with WBEM when identifying systems
Okay, I found the WMIMapper install file from the SIM hotfix download. I've re-installed this but it's made no difference to my problem. Are there any logs I can check to get more details?

Re: communication Issues with WBEM when identifying systems
I have compared the Pegasus WMI Mapper service on a working SIM server with the non-working SIM server and noticed the account used to run the service is different. On the non-working system, it's using the local system account. On the working system, it's using the NT SERVICE\WMI Mapper account. Could this have anything to do with it? I didn't set this account on the working system, so how do set this on the non-working system.

SolutionHello again,
I believe that the pegasus app is also a service so change the credentials in the service mmc. The credentials should be configurable at setup. You did uninstall the Pegasus wmi mapper and then do a fresh install? The Wmi mapper app has been updated because of the open ssl bug
Either option should work.

Re: communication Issues with WBEM when identifying systems
Okay, I completely uninstalled the WMI Mapper and re-installed. This time it set the correct logon account. Thanks for your help, Andrew J. However, I should mention it doesn't allow you to specify an account during install.
