Hardware events not being shown in SIM

[J.J. McDaniel]

I've installed SIM 4.2 on RHEL 3.0. I've configured read and write SNMP communities, setup the trapsink, etc. I've installed PSP on several proliant servers. Status is working great. But when a hardware event happens I'm only getting 'from insight management agents'. It's not actually pulling the event from the server, just making me go out and login to the IM agents to read the event.

I have setup the protocols correctly as far as I can tell and even put the certificate of the SIM server in the 'trusted' sites section of the Systems management page.

So what do I need to do to get the events to post ON the SIM server?

Thanks!

The SNMP Community names are for interrogation. You also need to set up a Trap Destination to the HPSIM Server. We're a Windows shop so I don't know how on RH.

In the event of a Hardware Problem the IM Agents should send the SNMP Trap to the HPSIM Server.

I've done that as well. It was in the readme docs of the PSP. The PSP will do it for you or you can do that manually:

/etc/init.d/hpasm stop
/etc/init.d/snmpd stop
vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

rwcommunity yourtrap yourserver.com
rocommunity yourtrap yourserver.com
trapcommunity yourtrapcommunity
trapsink yourserver yourtrasink

/etc/init.d/snmpd start
/etc/init.d/hpasm start

The only other thing I think may be an issue is I think we are using the same IP address for the SIM console as the server. I think I just put the server's IP address in there. Does SIM need it's own IP or can it share the host's IP?

Thanks!
