HP SIM monitoring LAN and ILO LAN

Hi,
I have to deploy HP SIM on a new group of HP intel servers. So I have planned for a seperate monitoring LAN for them.

There is also a seperate ILO private LAN, so do my CMS server has to be connected to these two networks ?

or only one monitoring network is sufficiant to use ILO features from SIM console?

When you say attched to the network, do you mean locally? If you can route into the network then there is no need for a dedicated link to it.

HPSIM can discover as many VLANs as you want it to dependent on what access it has across the network.
As long as HPSIM can get to the ILO and Server then it should be able to ID and match the devices providing SNMP access etc. is there.

The ILOs would typically sit on your Management LAN as they are the server management devices. You don't need to have a separate VLAN for them.
