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.
