A.1 Networking details on the PPU WBEM Partition/Server

Fill out the table below for each partition/server (an nPar or vPar VSE partition in a cell based server) to be monitored using the PPU WBEM method (and not the PPU Agent method). If more than 10 PPU WBEM partition/servers are to be monitored, please duplicate this page and complete one table for each partition/server.

•On Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), by default, only user accounts that belong to the pegasus group have remote WBEM access permission.
