WBEM and Data Collection

SethD — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 21:59:51 GMT

We are currently using HPSIM 5.1 w/ SP1. Until recently, we've only used it to monitor our physical Proliant DL servers. I read that it is possible to monitor virtual servers by enabling WBEM, and so we did. Everything looked good until I found that every server is failing the BiWeekly Data Collection scheduled task. If I disable WBEM in the Global Protocol Settings, the Data Collection works as normal. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is?

Current management agents for your ProLiant servers are exclusively SNMP. You are gaining nothing by enabling WBEM.

I enable wbem globally but leave the global credentials blank. I then manually add wbem credentials for the virtual guest servers.

Using this I can get wbem to collect data.

Rob's work around will do the trick. Thanks for your help!
