HP SIM Questions

Darren Etheridge_2 — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 16:55:11 GMT

I have a Windows 2008 server with all SIM Agents installed on it. It does not send out alerts to the SIM server at all. The events show up in the local server log but they never get emailed thru the SIM server agents. When I have the data source on the remote server set to WBEM I see all the monitoring agents (version control, array, ILO, etc.) but when I set it to use SNMP, no agents report. How can I get the server to use SNMP. is there a config file one the remote server I can modify?

Thanks!

Hi Darren,

Leave this task for HP SIM to do it for you.

Run the repair agent option under task menu
Repair Agent not only install the missing agents/components but also configures SNMP and trap configuration as per HP SIM requirement.

hope this helps,
Aftab

Hi Darren,

What is the HP SIM version?

Check this guide to see what it does
http://h10018.www1.hp.com/wwsolutions/misc/hpsim-helpfiles/repairAgents_5.pdf

The Systems Insight Manager Configure or Repair Agents tool is a quick and easy way to configure Linux, HP-UX and Windows managed systems to communicate with Systems Insight Manager from a Windows CMS.

To run Configure or Repair Agents remotely against multiple systems simultaneously, you must have authorizations to run the Configure or Repair Agents tool.

IN HP SIM 6.0 onwards it is there in Configure
Select Configure >> Configure or Repair Agents

Do you have trap destination set as SIM server in SNMP service on 2008 box?
do you have snmp service community string proper on 2008 box?
SNMP Trap service is running?
2008 has more restricted firewall did you check that? (allow trap/snmp port or disable it)

respond whats the result.

After running the repair agents all servers are now working and sending SIM messages correctly. Thank you for all of your help.
