https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/how-do-i-set-disk-thresholds-on-vm-clients/m-p/4480572#M38510 There is no PSP (Proliant being the key word here!) for Virtual machines. You can deploy the WBEM providers (only certain versions though) and a systems management homepage to the vm's and they will fire events based on thresholds being exceeded. However, SIM doesn't seem to subscribe to wbem events on vm machines for some reason.

I am running HP SIM 5.3 and it sees the VM clients, but when I go into the System Management Homepage on the local VM machine, I don't have a lot of options.<BR />The VM Clients were all made from a template so I'm guessing they are all running older PSPs.<BR />What do I need to be able to manage VMs? Do I need HP Virtual Machine Management Software? I can't even get to the documentation for it because the link it broken. For right now I just want some additional features for the VM Clients in our environment.

Only when you use SNMP. The problem is with our environment with a few hundred VMs, we are finding they are running out of hdd space too late, when they are 100% full.
