SIM agents for c7000 enclosure?

hpnewguy — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:34:04 GMT

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to configure the c7000 blade system enclosure so that it integrates with our SIM server in order for it to be monitored - if so can somebody let me know how or point me in the rite direction?

Hi,

I have read those documents but couldnt find what i was after - unless ive completely missed it. Is there a step but step or some sort of admin guide detailing how to install the agents?

Hi,

with your SIM installtion you already have a module for blade center integration.

On the OA web interface, under "Users/Authentication", there is a part "SIM integration" - import the SIM certificate, discover the active OA and see the results...

regards
Markus

btw: all this is mentioned in the above linked docs!

Hi hpnewguy,

Did you install SIM through the Insight Control DVDs?

BladeSystem Integrated Manager is a plug-in to HSIM and installs automatically with HP SIM

Go to Discovery in SIM and run a search for the active OA IP address.

This will find the Blade Enclosure and you can use the integrated manager.

Hi guys,

Ive done what you suggested however all i see in our SIM console is a green tick under HS, 'i' under VPM, system name, unknown under system type, and an ip address under system address.

when i click on system name it takes me to the system page but doesn't show as much info as the other 'normal' servers (e.g dl360s)

sorry for the trouble...
