About management processors

HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) uses HTTP and

SNMP

to identify management processors. Previous

versions of HP SIM used only SNMP

identification

to identify management processors and obtain their

statuses. Now, HTTP identification is performed first, followed by SNMP identification. If a new management
processor has been installed in the server, the Web Agents must be reinstalled on the server, or the
management processor might not be correctly identified. If both the server and the management processor
have been

discovered

and identified, an association is made. The association between the management

processor and other systems displays in the System Name column on the system table view page by showing
one of the following:

"

management processor" in server "system"

"

management processor" to "complex"

"

management processor" to server "nPar"

SNMP Status Polling obtains the status for the host server. HP SIM can distinguish between the following
management processor products:

Remote Insight Board PCI

Remote Insight Board EISA

Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition (RILOE)

The system table view page provides information about management processors:

The server entry displays a Status icon in the MP column. The tool tip for the icon displays the status
of the management processor. Clicking this icon launches the Remote Insight Home page.

The management processor entry displays the name of the server with which the management processor
is associated by showing "

management processor" in server "system."

For all remote management processor entries, the System Type field states management processor,
and the Product Name field states Remote Insight Management.

The system table view page contains an MP column, which displays the status of the management processor.
There are seven different status levels (Critical, Major, Minor, Normal, Warning, Disabled, and Unknown).
These status level icons are the same status level icons used for software status. See

“Software status types”

for more information on each status type.

The management processor status icons launch the Remote Insight Home page and display in a separate
browser window. On this page, you can find the following information:

Current User

Server Name

Server Power Status

Remote Insight IP Address

Remote Insight Name

Latest Integrated Management Log Entry

Latest Remote Insight Event Log Entry

Remote Insight Mouse Cable

Clicking the management processor in the System Name column launches the System Page for that
management processor. See

“System tab”

for more information.
