Using the software 49
Unicenter Severity Browser
The Unicenter Severity Browser provides a brief status of the systems on the network, including the status
of the Unicenter Agents (for example, the NT System Agent and the SQL Server Agent) and the HP Insight
Management Agents and provides a brief overview of systems that are in a degraded or failed state.
Repository maintenance
Some situations might require you to rebuild the Unicenter CORE. In these cases, you might be required to
reinstall the Insight Integration to verify that the HP classes and menus are represented correctly in the new
repository.
Browsing the HP MIBs
When you use the Mibbrowse utility, some SNMP variables are listed as NOT FOUND, indicating that
the agent does not implement these SNMP variables. This condition is expected and does not require
intervention.
HP client support
Support for HP client systems in the Insight Integration is currently limited to systems running SNMP and
the HP Insight Management Agents. HP clients are defined as systems that are not running the HP Server
Management Agents. These systems include HP Deskpros, HP Armada portables, and HP Evo systems.
The integration with CA Unicenter has been written to provide primary support for the ProLiant server
family of products. Limited information is available for clients in the Agent view and Node view of the
Insight Integration. The following support for clients is provided:
•
HP clients running SNMP and the HP Insight Management Agents are discovered in the integration
and identified by the HP Management Agent icon on the Unicenter map.
•
The Unicenter Enterprise Management Console receives alarms from HP clients. These alarms are
defined in the HP message records (many are defined in the cpqdesktop.txt file).
•
The web browser can be launched from the Unicenter map to the HP Web-enabled Management
Agents running on a client system.
