Using the Server Module for vCenter
After Insight Control for vCenter is installed, the HP Insight Management tab is added to the vSphere
Client at both the cluster level and the host level. Insight Control for vCenter enables you to complete
the following tasks when using HP ProLiant servers and BladeSystem enclosures on the network:
•
Health and configuration reporting
•
Remote access capability
•
Alert and event forwarding from Onboard Administrator, HP SNMP agents, and HP CIM
providers to vCenter Server
Use Insight Control for vCenter to manage clusters and hosts remotely, manage system health and
configuration, optimize power usage, and for virtual connect networking. The administrator can
manage the system and virtual connect network, gather information about individual HP ProLiant
servers and BladeSystem enclosures or the infrastructure, and launch certain HP tools.
Navigating the HP Insight Management tab with the Server Module
Information from iLO, Onboard Administrator, HP SNMP agents, HP CIM providers, and Virtual
Connect Manager is compiled and displayed on the HP Insight Management tab at both the cluster
level and the host level.
NOTE: In order for iLO information to display, iLO must be associated with the VMware host.
For more information, see “Associating the VMware host to iLO” (page 8) .
