Using the Server Module for vCenter
After Insight Control for vCenter is installed, the HP Insight Management tab is added to the vSphere
Client at the host level and under the Management tab in the vSphere Web Client. Insight Control
for vCenter enables you to complete the following tasks when using HP ProLiant servers and
BladeSystem enclosures on the network:
•
Monitor health status
•
Manage server information
•
Manage firmware inventory
•
Update firmware inventory (.Net client only)
•
Alert and event forwarding from Onboard Administrator, HP SNMP agents, and HP CIM
providers to vCenter Server
Use Insight Control for vCenter to manage clusters and hosts remotely, manage system health and
configuration, optimize power usage, and for Virtual Connect networking. The administrator can
manage the system and monitor the Virtual Connect network, gather information about individual
HP ProLiant servers and BladeSystem enclosures or the infrastructure, and launch certain HP tools.
NOTE: Cluster management is available with the .Net client only.
Navigating HP Insight Management with the Server Module
Information from iLO, Onboard Administrator, HP SNMP agents, HP CIM providers, and Virtual
Connect Manager is compiled and displayed on the HP Insight Management page at both the
cluster level and the host level.
NOTE: In order for iLO information to display, iLO must be associated with the VMware host.
For more information, see “Associating the VMware host to iLO” (page 9) .
