HP Blade ILO4 using only SNMP V3, Traps not received in HP SIM

Xeon — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 04:53:38 GMT

Hi,

We have a requirement to use only snmpv3 (for security reasons) to monitor HP blade center C7000 Chassis. I have all the blades with ILO4 which supports snmpv3 and installed SIM 7.2 with latest hotfix. I have configured all the blades to use snmpv3 and it works fine when discovering the blades, log shows snmpv3 was found and successfully authenticated.

However issue here is no traps are received if I disable snmpv1 on the iLO. if I enabel snmpv1 on iLO traps/events are getting generated and displayed properly but not when snmpv1 is disabled. I also did wireshark and alerts sent from iLO however HP SIM does not display the events. Also enabled snmp authentication failure MIB to show failure events in SIM, but there are no failure events. I m confused here.. The requirement is to use only snmpv3 for this environment.

Any suggessions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Xeon

Hi,

i've not configured this myself so I cannot give conclusive answer.

However, I would recommend to make sure both SIM as the ILO firmware are up-to-date. I've seens many 'resolved' issues regarding snmpv3 both in ILO as SIM change logs.

If that does not resolve the issue, it might be worth creatign a support call at HP.

Hi Xeon,

Can you please tell me how you configured SNMP V3 in HP blade center C7000.

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting HPSIM to discover my new G9 blade.

Although SNMPv3 parameters are configured on both ilo & SIM, SIM is still saying "The system did not respond to SNMPv3".

It also mentions "The system is unable to connect via HTTPS" although I can login to the ilo using HTTPS.

Can you let me know how I can go about troubleshooting this?

Log from the discovery is below.

********* Significant issues and overall target discovery/identification

status:

Minor: The name of the system could not be resolved to a fully qualified

domain name. For a Windows CMS, make sure that the domain name of

the managed system is included in the DNS suffixes in the Windows

Advanced TCP/IP Settings page.

Minor: The reverse DNS lookup using the IP address: x.x.x.x failed.

It might be that the nslookup timed out or DNS server cannot find

this address, or that the domain does not exist.

Minor: Verify that your name resolution service or the host file

configuration is configured properly so that your system's hostname

can be resolved to the fully qualified domain name.

Normal: The system has valid hardware data (model, serial number, and

unique identifier) and has been identified properly for SIM to

manage.

********* Additional results (listed for information only):

* Starting identification process...

* Checking for known running web servers...

Minor: The system is unable to connect via HTTPS

* Could not generate DH keypair

* Checking for SNMP protocol support on system...

Normal: The system responded to an SNMP request; it supports SNMP Protocol

and has a valid read community string.

* Checking for SNMPv3 protocol support on system...

Normal: The system did not respond to SNMPv3. Verify security settings and

v3 credentials in Options->Security->Credentials->System

Credentials

* Running HP ProLiant management agent identification...

Normal: Identification can get the system information from the ProLiant

SNMP Foundation agents for servers.

* Running SNMP base cluster identification using common cluster

MIB...

Normal: The system is identified as management processor, skipping SNMP

cluster identification.

* Checking for WBEM protocol support on system...

Normal: The system is not a server so skipping WBEM identification.

* Running WBEM rules based identification...

Normal: The system is not a server so skipping WBEM identification.

* Running Virtual Machine (VM) Host (non HP Integrity VM Host)

Identification...

Normal: The system is not a VM Host (non HP Integrity VM Host), or WBEM

credentials may not be specified so skipping VM Identification.

* Running Storage identification...

* Did not detect the WBEM protocol support on this system. SMI

storage identification will be skipped.

* Storage identification completed.

* Running HP NetServer identification...

Normal: System does does not have the NetServer SNMP agents installed.

* Running HP-UX SNMP identification...

Normal: System does not have the HP-UX SNMP agents installed.

* Running OA Identifier which will discover systems in an enclosure

if the automatic enclosure discovery option for OA is enabled...

Normal: The system is not an Onboard Administrator, skipping automatic

discovery of systems in the enclosure.

* Running XMLReply Identifier which will discover systems in a

rack/enclosure if the automatic discovery option for the container

node is enabled...

* Running iLO Identifier which will discover the server if the

automatic server discovery option for iLO is enabled...

Minor: The system responds to the HTTP request but cannot get the XML

output. It is normal for servers not to get the XML data.

Minor: If the http communication from CMS to target is working, but if it

is found to be slow then try increasing the Default connection

timeout parameter for http in global protocol settings.

* Running p-Class Identifier...

Normal: The system is not a p-Class so skipping p-Class identification.

* Running IPMI protocol identification...

Normal: Skipping IPMI discovery. System is logical device.

* Running SSH Protocol identification...

Normal: This system has SSH protocol support.

* Running SSH Identification...

Minor: The system cannot be logged in using SSH protocol; check

credentials or check the settings in the SSH configuration file

* Running WS-Man identification...

Minor: The system did not respond to WS-Management (WS-Man) request.

* Running Monarch OA Identification...

Normal: The system is not a monarch OA so skipping monarch OA

identification.

* Checking for System Management Homepage and other HP web agents...

Normal: The system is not a server, storage or desktop. Skipping the check

for System Management Homepage.

* Running HP Serviceguard Identification...

* Running SNMP System Type manager ...

Normal: No matching SNMP System Type Manager rule for sysObjID was found.

* Running SNMP subtypes identification...

* No additional subtype(s) found from SNMP.

* Resolving DNS names...

* Checking if the Node is a Virtual Center...

Normal: Skipping MxVirtualCenter Identifier.

* Running Virtual Machine Management (VMM) Plug-in Identification...

* Building system relationships...

Minor: The Secure Shell key-based access authentication is not configured

on the system(s).

Minor: System Management Homepage (SMH) is not installed or is not

responding on the system(s).

* Running system Manage Communication diagnosis...

* System identification finished on system.
