matches the current filter. If discovery filters are disabled, automatic discovery discovers systems
according to the General Settings for All Discoveries section on the Discovery page.
If you do not discover the HP systems that you expect to find, ensure that the Insight Management
Agent are installed and running correctly on the target systems. In addition, verify that the SNMP
Community Strings settings and WBEM user name and passwords in HP SIM and on the agents
for systems that are not discovered are configured correctly.
Discovery of Gen8 servers
Discovery for a Gen8 server must happen through the IP address of the host server’s ILO4 IP
address. If it is a blade server, you can discover the server through the Onboard Administrator IP
address. If the host IP address is used, it will be discovered, but will not include all the HP
Management Instrumentation, as this now all comes from the iLO4. It is the iLO4 which makes all
the proper associations (along with Onboard Administrator if it's a blade). The host is fully off
loaded from the system management tasks.
Discovery for the Gen8 with host-based agents fully installed, properly configured, and agentless
mode disabled, can be discovered through a number of ways. This host IP is the correct place to
find all you would need. Additionally, an Onboard Administrator IP if the host is a blade, is also
allowed here. Since this is using host-based agents, the iLO4 can be viewed as a pass through to
the host, and could be used as well, but is treated as a management processor, not a host NIC.
