Manage none Proliant Servers

I've got a few none Proliant servers, SNMP is enabled but in SIM it doesn't pull in all the info like the Proliant servers do. Anyway to setup SIM to pull in all the info like the Proliants?

matt,

snmp is snmp - if you've got at least one community string from the hp sim glob prot settings for snmp in those server snmp settings as at least read you should get a reasonable amount of info, at least from the old compaq boxes. firewall blocking snmp ?
what does snmpwalk give you from the hp sim box to one of these servers ?

matt,

you'll find downloads on the web, such as here :-

http://www.elifulkerson.com/articles/net-snmp-windows-binary-unofficial.php

and do

snmpwalk -v 1 -c 'snmp_community_name' 'target ip address or system name'

from the command line.

hope this helps
