Virtual guests in HP SIM Unmanaged

Rosco_1 — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 20:23:00 GMT

Has anyone seen a situation where after a discovery of a range of VMware ESX servers, the VM guests are displayed with the host server below them (as expected with the ESX host having the CIMS installed so they report their guests to HP SIM but also I get another entry for just the VM guest but with a Status Type of Unmanaged?

This does happen for me. I think it might be normal

Hi Rosco,

HP SIM can be installed on Supported VM guests and can also manage VMs and VM guest.

You need Virtual Machine Management Pack (VMM)on HP SIM to manage virtual machine and guest OS.

Refer to the following docs:
HP Systems Insight Manager 6.2 User Guide
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02537452/c02537452.pdf

VM guest unmanaged issue, Refer page no. 60 of HP ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine
Management Pack 3.6
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01421558/c01421558.pdf

hope this helps,
thanks,
Aftab

No, not using system center. This is direct from the SIM console.
