27.3.2 Tasks for appliance settings
The appliance online help provides information about using the UI or the REST APIs to:
•
Change the appliance host name, IP address, subnet or CIDR mask, or gateway address.
•
Change the DNS server IP address.
•
Set and synchronize the appliance clock.
•
Set the SNMP read community string and add SNMP trap destinations.
27.3.3 About appliance SNMP settings
Network management systems use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to monitor
network-attached devices. The appliance uses SNMP to retrieve information from managed devices.
The devices use SNMP to send asynchronous notifications (called traps) to the appliance.
You specify a read community string that serves as a credential to verify access to the SNMP data
on the managed devices. The appliance sends the read community string to enclosures (through
their OAs) and to the servers (though their iLO management processors). Some older devices
require manual host OS configuration.
Install SNMP OS host agents for HP ProLiant G7 server blades
For the appliance to monitor the health of HP ProLiant G7 server blades, you need to configure
the SNMP settings for the server and iLO3.
1. Install the host operating system on the server.
2. Install the SNMP subsystem on the server.
3. Configure SNMP on the host to use the community string and trap destination of the appliance.
4. Using the latest SPP, install the HP management agent set and associated drivers. You will be
prompted for the SNMP community string and the trap destination.
5. After the HP management agent set and associated drivers are installed and running, add the
HP ProLiant G7 server blade to the appliance.
If you install the agents and drivers after adding the G7 server blade, you might have to refresh
the G7 server blade from the user interface or with REST APIs.
NOTE: If you change the appliance read community string, you must reconfigure all HP ProLiant
G7 server blade SNMP OS host agents to use the new read community string. The appliance
cannot propagate this update to the host OS.
