HP Blade Systems Management Pack for SCOM 2007 R2

[apm89tony]

Hi, I installed this MP on the RMS and it discovered my blade c3000 fine. But I would like to install this MP on a SCOM gateway. The settings are the same but no blade enclosure is discovered. Is it necessary to install this MP on a SCOM RMS? Or is it supposed to work on a SCOM Gateway?

Greest, Tony

Tony:

You would need to install the Enclosure Monitoring Service (EMS) on the Gateway and use the Enclosure Monitor Manager to register the enclosure. Look at the BladeSystem MP User Guide on prerequisites for the EMS.

The Gateway also would require a SCOM agent.

Hello Tony,

Please do NOT install a separate SCOM Agent on the SCOM Gateway. If you have the SCOM Gateway software installed the agent is automatically installed with this software. Installing a separate agent on the SCOM gateway server could corrupt your installation.

It works on the gateway. I had to wait a little longer. :)

Thanks!
