Systems Insight Manager integration
Systems Insight Manager overview
Use HP Systems Insight Manager to:
• Discover management modules. As part of the discovery process, HP SIM can detect an installed
management module. The web interface for the discovered module can be launched from the HP SIM
Servers Links tab.
• Receive SNMP traps from the management module. The management module can send event-based
traps to HP SIM that include a URL in the trap. This functionality enables administrators to easily launch
the web interface of the management module in context. For example, if the management module
detects an alarm condition, the management module can send a trap to HP SIM with an attached
hyperlink that routes users directly to the web interface for the attached management module.
• Conveniently launch the management module web interface from within HP SIM.
o Tools menu—You can add a link to the web interface on the HP SIM Tools menu using a tools
definition file.
o Servers Links tab—The web interface can be launched from the HP SIM Servers Links tab.
o Event-based trap—A URL is included in each trap to link directly from HP SIM to the web interface
for the specific device for which the trap was sent.
The management module can be configured to send alert traps to Systems Insight Manager, and other SNMP
management applications.
To send event alert traps to Systems Insight Manager:
1. Configure HP SIM to receive traps (" Configuring HP SIM to receive traps " on page 47 ).
2. Configure the management module to send traps to HP SIM (" Configuring the management module to
send traps to HP SIM " on page 47 ).
Discovering the management module
HP SIM automatically detects management modules as part of the device discovery process. If detected, a
hyperlink is included on the HP SIM Links page for the HP Modular Cooling System on which the
management module is installed. The management module should be installed and running before
attempting discovery through HP SIM.
If a link to the HP Modular Cooling System on which the management module is installed does not appear on
the device home page in Systems Insight Manager:
1. Locate the additionalwsdisc.props file in the CONFIG directory in the Systems Insight Manager install
directory. By default, Systems Insight Manager is installed in the C:\Program Files\HP\System Insight
Manager directory.
2. Create a management module entry in the additionalwsdisc.props file. For more information on editing
the additionalwsdisc.props file, see the additionalwsdisc.txt file located in the same directory.
