components of the SPP or PSP, but at a minimum, you must install the components, listed in

Table 19 (page 136)

, which HP SIM requires.

To download an SPP or a PSP or obtain the associated HP ProLiant Support Pack User Guide,
follow the instructions in

Section 26.7.2 (page 251)

.

2.

On the system to be discovered, use the following command to configure SNMP:

# /sbin/hpsnmpconfig

3.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 for every installed system to be discovered. When you are finished,
proceed to step 4 in this procedure.

4.

Select the following menu item to discover the server and its management processor. You can
discover the server and management processor by name or by IP address range.

Options

→Discovery...

5.

If the management processor credentials do not match the default credentials you specified
during the Insight Control for Linux installation process, use the following menu item to register
the management processor credentials with HP SIM:

Configure

→Management Processor→Credentials

For more information on management processor credentials, see

“Management Processor

Credentials” (page 198)

.

NOTE:

An ESXi system fails discovery if the iLO credentials do not match the root credentials.

7.2 Assigning Insight Control for Linux licenses to discovered systems

You can apply a license to a server now or when running any of the deployment tasks, which are
discussed in

Chapter 9 (page 87)

and in

Chapter 10 (page 104)

.

You must apply an Insight Control for Linux license to the discovered systems you want to monitor
with Insight Control for Linux:

NOTES:

When you apply the Insight Control for Linux license, the license is locked immediately when
it is assigned to the server.

Before Version 6.0, the license was assigned, but locked later during an Insight Control for
Linux operation (for example, installation or setting up monitoring).

Exercise caution when assigning an Insight Control for Linux license, particularly when assigning
licenses to multiple targets.

Only servers require this license. Licensing any other device, such as a management processor,
wastes a license needlessly; licenses are difficult to remove after they are assigned.
