DL 360 G8 SPP + Windows Server 2008 R2

[Jeremy Stump]

i have disabled Hp new provisioning feature and am booting from a usb drive using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit image technology, i have the SPP dvd setup as a job to run after the OS unpacks and installs, runs fine until we launch the HP Homepage and go into the settings area, it isnt installing all optional components so we can use SNMP, etc. Does anyone have the hpsum command line entries to force it to install all components regardless of optional or not? Right now i am using the command hpsum /f:softwareonly /s switches. HELP !!!

I think the default behavior on G8 servers is that HPSUM will not install the agents as G8 servers now have agentless monitoring via the iLo 4 card. I'll check the switches I'm using in my deployments as we had to force the agent installation.

I understand the ILO4 card will do monitoring but we still need to use the homepage to look for memory issues, cpu failures, get to logs, etc on servers. The agents all need to be installed for this information to populate. Were not used to Wbem related data and use SNMP heavily in our environment to manage systems and logs.

Thank you for looking at those switches for me.

I'm using

• /express_install  /use_ams  /use_snmp

[Jeremy Stump]

Thank you so much that got me closer. Now i need to add a task to configure the trap and security for snmp for our environment, the hp homepage changed now to snmp but no data until i configured those settings and restarted the snmp service which then restarted the hp insight services.

I script all these things at the end of my build. Here is a script to do the SNMP settings on a windows machine:

REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\PermittedManagers" /v 1 /t REG_SZ /d "127.0.0.1" /f >NUL

REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\PermittedManagers" /v 2 /t REG_SZ /d "127.0.0.2" /f >NUL

REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\PermittedManagers" /v 3 /t REG_SZ /d "127.0.0.3" /f >NUL
