Hi daedro,

HP SIM plus basic features are for free.
licensing concerns are only necessary if you want to use any of the essentials.

Please provide mor information about your (planned) setup.

kind regards

Hi,
just take the manual:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02239407/c02239407.pdf

page 47 explains the autmatic event handling.
As this is a basic feature of HP SIM, no need to concern about any licensing.

kind regards

Not to mention here is some basic training you can take (off the www.hp.com/go/hpsim) page; here's an example course.

If you want full details of the Servers HW Status then you will want to install the ESX Insight Agents. Just Go to Hp.com > Support & Drivers > enter the proliant model and then pick the ESX version and download and install

Or you can run the task under Configure called "Configure Repair Agents". That will give you the option to install teh ESX agents too (for all versions).
