Management from other platforms using the REST APIs and the SCMB
The REST APIs and the SCMB (State-Change Message Bus) also enable you to monitor the HP
OneView environment from other management platforms. For more information about the SCMB,

1.4.1 Data center environmental management
HP OneView integrates these critical areas for environmental management of the data center:
•
Thermal data visualization in 3D
•
Power delivery infrastructure representation
•
Physical asset location in 3D
Description
Feature
3D data center thermal mapping provides a view of the thermal status of your entire data
center. The appliance collects thermal data from the managed resources in each data center
rack and presents the data graphically, enabling easy identification of hot spots in a rack.
Thermal data visualization
HP OneView collects and reports processor utilization and power and temperature history
for your data center hardware. The appliance monitors power, automatically detects and
reports power delivery errors, and provides precise power requirement information for HP
ProLiant Gen8 servers and HP BladeSystem enclosures that you can use for planning rack
and power usage.
Power Discovery Services enable automatic discovery and visualization of the power
delivery topology for your data center. HP iPDUs enable the appliance to map the rack
power topology automatically. The appliance detects wiring errors—such as lack of
redundancy—and updates electrical inventory automatically when new servers are installed.
The appliance also supports per-outlet power control for remote power cycling of each
iPDU outlet.
You can manually define the power requirements and power topology for devices that do
not support Power Discovery Services.
Power delivery
infrastructure
representation
Location Discovery Services enable the appliance to automatically display the exact 3D
location of HP ProLiant Gen8 servers in HP Intelligent Series Racks, reducing labor time,
lowering operational costs, and eliminating human errors associated with inventory and
asset management.
You can manually define the positions of racks and devices that do not support Location
Discovery Services.
Physical asset location
1.4.2 Resource utilization monitoring
HP OneView periodically collects and maintains CPU utilization information for all of the servers
it manages. HP OneView also collects port-level statistics for networking, including transmit, receive,
