HP SIM links
For ease of management, HP SIM creates links to the following locations:
•
iLO 2 and the host server from any System List
•
The server from the System Page of iLO 2
•
iLO 2 from the System Page of the server
The Systems List pages display iLO 2, the server, and the relationship between iLO 2 and server. For
example, the page can display the server, the iLO 2 name next to the server, and iLO 2 name IN server in
the System Name field for iLO 2.
Clicking on a status icon for iLO 2 takes you to the iLO 2 Web interface. Clicking on the hardware status
icon takes you to the Insight Management Agents for the device. Clicking on the iLO 2 or server name
takes you to the System Page of the device. Within the System Page are the Identity, Tools & Links, and
Event tabs. These tabs provide identity and status information, event information, and links for the
associated device.
HP SIM systems lists
iLO 2 management processors can be viewed within HP SIM. A user with full configuration rights can
create and use customized system collections to group management processors. See the HP Systems
Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide, provided with HP SIM and available on the HP website
for additional details.
Receiving SNMP alerts in HP SIM
You can configure iLO 2 to forward alerts from the host operating system management agents and to
send iLO 2-generated alerts to HP SIM.
HP SIM provides support for full SNMP management, and iLO 2 supports SNMP trap delivery to HP SIM.
You can view the event log, select the event, and view the additional information about the alert.
Configuring receipt of SNMP alerts in HP SIM is a two-step process. The process requires HP SIM to
discover iLO 2 and configuring iLO 2 to enable SNMP alerts.
1.
To enable iLO 2 to send SNMP traps click SNMP/Insight Manager Settings on the Administration tab
of the iLO 2 navigation frame to enable SNMP alerting and to provide an SNMP trap IP address to
iLO 2. This IP address should be the address of the computer running HP SIM. See the section,
“Enabling SNMP alerts (on page
).”
2.
To discover iLO 2 in HP SIM configure iLO 2 as a managed device for HP SIM. Adding iLO 2 to HP
SIM allows the NIC interface on iLO 2 to function as a dedicated management port, isolating
management traffic from the remote host server NIC interface.
a.
Start HP SIM.
b.
Select Options>Discovery>Automatic Discovery.
c.
Select the discovery task to run, and click Edit.
