HP Systems Insight Manager integration 186
Receiving SNMP alerts in HP SIM
You can configure iLO 2 to forward alerts from the host operating system management agents and to
send iLO 2-generated alerts to HP SIM.
HP SIM provides support for full SNMP management, and iLO 2 supports SNMP trap delivery to HP SIM.
You can view the event log, select the event, and view the additional information about the alert.
Configuring receipt of SNMP alerts in HP SIM is a two-step process. The process requires HP SIM to
discover iLO 2 and configuring iLO 2 to enable SNMP alerts.
1.
To enable iLO 2 to send SNMP traps click
SNMP/Insight Manager Settings
on the Administration tab
of the iLO 2 navigation frame to enable SNMP alerting and to provide an SNMP trap IP address to
iLO 2. This IP address should be the address of the computer running HP SIM. See the section,
“Enabling SNMP alerts (on page
66
).”
2.
To discover iLO 2 in HP SIM configure iLO 2 as a managed device for HP SIM. Adding iLO 2 to HP
SIM allows the NIC interface on iLO 2 to function as a dedicated management port, isolating
management traffic from the remote host server NIC interface.
a.
Start HP SIM.
b.
Select
Options>Discovery>Automatic Discovery
.
c.
Select the discovery task to run, and click Edit.
d.
Select
IP range pinging
. If the IP address is not in the Ping inclusion ranges, templates, or hosts
files section, enter the IP address.
e.
Click
OK
.
f.
To add iLO 2 to HP SIM, do one of the following:
—
Click
Save and Run
. After the discovery process is complete, additional queries display the
device as a management processor.
You may need to edit the SNMP read community string (for example, by changing it to
"public") so that iLO 2 is displayed in the list of monitored systems. You can change the
SNMP read community string by accessing the Systems Protocol Settings page. To access
these settings, select
Options>Protocol Settings>System Protocol Settings.
—
Click
Options>Protocol Settings>Global Protocol Settings,
and set community strings for use
during discovery under Default SNMP Settings. When set, you can use steps a through e to
run discovery process.
For major events not cleared, iLO 2 traps are displayed in All Events. Click
Event Type
to obtain
further information about the event.
NOTE:
HP Insight Agents for iLO 2 must be installed on the remote host server to enable
management of iLO 2. Refer to "Installing iLO 2 Device Drivers" for additional details about
installing and configuring agents.
HP SIM port matching
HP SIM is configured to start an HTTP session to check for iLO 2 at port 80. The port can be changed. If
you want to change the port number, you must also change it in Network Settings and HP SIM.
To change the port number in HP SIM, add the port to the config\identification\additionalWsDisc.props
file in the directory where HP SIM is installed. The entry must start with the HTTP port for iLO 2. No entry
