https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/hp-sim-amp-network-traffic/m-p/4106444#M30235 Hello,<BR /><BR />We have 7 ProLiant servers that are managed by HP SIM 5.1 over a WAN link.<BR /><BR />We have been experiencing bandwidth problems with the WAN link and we wonder if it's partially caused by HP SIM.<BR /><BR />- What kind of network traffic does the HP SIM generate?<BR /><BR />- How can I temporally deactivate HP SIM network pooling of the distant servers? I already deleted them from the HP SIM console. Is that enough or do I have to stop the HP Insight services on the destination servers?<BR /><BR />Thanks for your help.

If you have Proliant Servers SIM does SNMP polling. For just 7 servers this should not be a problem for the WAN line. As it is also SNMP (UDP) packets will be dropped if the line is full.<BR /><BR />You can also configure Tasks to run less frequently. regards ms Thu, 22 Nov 2007 08:52:08 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/hp-sim-amp-network-traffic/m-p/4106445#M30236 Maurice Skubski_1 2007-11-22T08:52:08Z
