Configuring Systems Insight Manager with non-default SMI-S provider ports

[Dan Nichols1]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to HP SIM to configure it to detect SMI-S providers installed on managed systems using non default TCP ports?

I have verified connectivity to the SMI-S provider on the non-standard port using wbemdisco.cmd.

Thanks,

Dan.

Found the answer in the troubleshooting section of the SIM help.

For the benefit of anyone in the same situation as I was;

Edit the file called wbemportlist.xml in the directory '%Program Files%\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config\identification'.

Add a 'port id' section for each custom port configured, add the corresponding 'interopnamespace name' node(s).

Restart the SIM service on the CMS then perform a discovery. The SMI-S providers should be identified by the discovery.

NOTE: The WEBES user name and password combinations configured in the global protocol settings section will be attempted against each service defined in the wbemportlist.xml.
