https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/hp-sim-and-ibm-servers/m-p/3690531#M17013 Hi,<BR /><BR />I am trying to configure SIM to gather data, mainly serial numbers and os level, from linux servers via SNMP. <BR />It works perfectly with HP Proliant servers but with IBM xSeries servers, I can't get anything but the kernel level. <BR /><BR />Can someone tell me if it can be done and, if yes, how it should be done.<BR /> <BR />Regards Tue, 13 Dec 2005 10:54:48 GMT Global Unix Team 2005-12-13T10:54:48Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/hp-sim-and-ibm-servers/m-p/3690531#M17013 Hi,<BR /><BR />I am trying to configure SIM to gather data, mainly serial numbers and os level, from linux servers via SNMP. <BR />It works perfectly with HP Proliant servers but with IBM xSeries servers, I can't get anything but the kernel level. <BR /><BR />Can someone tell me if it can be done and, if yes, how it should be done.<BR /> <BR />Regards Tue, 13 Dec 2005 10:54:48 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/hp-sim-and-ibm-servers/m-p/3690531#M17013 Global Unix Team 2005-12-13T10:54:48Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/hp-sim-and-ibm-servers/m-p/3690532#M17014 HP SIM would use WBEM to do this. For Linux, that would typically mean using the Pegasus or OpenWBEM CIMOMs...
