Steps to integrate IPM (Insight Power Manager) with SIM 5.3

[Terence Ng]

I am using HP SIM 5.3 and would like to integrate IPM with SIM 5.3 to monitor and report historical trend (e.g. weekly/monthly report)of power consumption of my C7000 blade enclosures.

Can anyone share the steps to integrate IPM with SIM 5.3 and steps to configure C7000 blade enclosures to report power consumption to IPM/SIM 5.3 and compile power consumption reports?

Thanks.

Install IPM. that will appear in SIM tools menu..

if you download Insight Control DVD. you will get IPM and all related documents inside it.


NOTE: You might know IPM is not a freeware so you need insight control licences if you want to use that.
