HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 199)

Virtual machines
HP Insight Management WBEM Providers and SNMP agents must not be installed on a virtual
machine guest operating system. Installing the providers or agents on a guest operating system
causes HP SIM to have excessive timeouts when data is requested or WBEM Indication Subscriptions
are created.
The installer for HP Insight Management WBEM Providers 2.2.x and earlier does not prevent
installation on a guest operating system. The installer for version 2.3 and beyond automatically
prevents the installation of the providers on a guest operating system.
If the WBEM providers or SNMP agents have been installed on a guest operating system, uninstall
and re-identify the managed system in HP SIM.
VMware
The name of the temperature sensors might be incorrect. This is a known issue in the VMWare
provider and will be addressed in a future release of VMWare providers.
WBEM
WBEM is no longer supported on HP servers. The last servers to support WBEM were the G6
servers. Therefore, HP SIM will not identify the operating system details properly for RHEL 5.7 Xen
and KVM servers.
WBEM indications
HP SIM doesn't support WBEM Indications on ESL G3 tape library with embedded SMI-S(without
CVTL)
WMI Mapper
If you have created subscriptions on a Windows managed system and then elect to change the
WMI Mapper proxy or install a WMI Mapper on the managed system, you must first unsubscribe
for WBEM events, change the proxy, re-identify the systems, and then resubscribe for WBEM
events. If you do not unsubscribe for the WBEM events, HP SIM will no longer receive indications
from the managed system.
