HP Management Pack operations
The following figure identifies some of the major elements of the HP Management Packs 1.3 for MOM
2005 and the underlying elements used to collect data and process hardware events and state changes.
•
The HP server discovery rules and scripts use Insight Management Agents, system BIOS data, and
information from WMI to identify HP ProLiant and Integrity servers and collate individual system
configuration attributes.
•
HP state monitoring rules use data from Insight Management Agents MIB files to monitor the
condition of HP ProLiant and Integrity server hardware and to populate the State views in the MOM
2005 Operator Console. HP state monitoring rules also monitor the availability of key HP
management software and services, such as Insight Management Agents, Version Control Agents,
and Insight Diagnostics.
•
The HP event processing rules rely on Insight Management Agents and data written to the
Windows® Event Log to identify and process HP hardware events.
When an HP Insight Management Agent generates an event, a corresponding entry is written to the
Windows® Event log, which is the primary event data source used by MOM 2005. If the HP event
in the Windows® Event Log has an associated event processing rule defined by an HP Management
Pack, a MOM alert is generated and written to the appropriate view in the MOM Operator
Console.
HP alerts in MOM include clear event details and knowledge base data designed to enable rapid
analysis of real-time and prefailure conditions. Certain hardware events reported to the Windows®
Event Log can also generate additional events that indicate a change in hardware state.
