Unmanaged & Unknown Servers

Joseph Robinson_3 — Tue, 28 Sep 2004 13:38:31 GMT

We have just implemented System Insight Manager in our environment. After completed a full inventory of our servers, I have noticed that many are labeled as UNKNOWN or UNMANAGED. What is the best method for configuring these systems so that they can be managed?

Hello

SNMP propertis, tab trap:
check if you have corect Community Name
and Trap Destination - it should be IP or Name of HPSIM server.

tab security:
Check the community rights and if you have enabled options Accept SNMP traps from those host, in the field must be localhost or. 127.0.0.1 and Ip or name of HPSIM server

then restart HP Managament agent and SNMP, check if boath are running.

Then run identification task in HPSIM

On the systems that are identified as Unknown, make sure that either WBEM or SNMP or DMI or SSH is configured and then run identification task on those system(s) again. Though the easiest way is installing management agents on those systems.

The Unmanaged system type means that they have either of the management protocols but failed to meet HPSIM's identification rules.

How would you correct this problem on RedHat enterprise 3? HPSIM picks up other managed devices, but not the CMS server itself! It is detected as unmanaged!
