HP SIM 4.1 Event Notifications - HELP!!

[Kevin Paiva_1]

I have setup SIM 4.1 on a new Win2k3 server and so far, everything's going fine. I have installed the OpenSSH software on every server that has been added to SIM and all are communicating as a server with the exception of some of the Novell boxes we have.

My question is this: How do I get SIM to email me when certain events take place? I have setup a mailbox specifically for this purpose and have set all the SMTP settings in SIM. I have tried to create a rule for when the link gets lost on a NIC and I never get the notification. Is there something I need to do before this?

Also, I have tried to push Disk Threshold settings to all servers and only a few come back as completed - every other server comes back as failed.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Ivan,

Thanks for the reply and the information. It amazes me how two pages of documentation did more for me than the 544 page bible on SIM.

Would you happen to know why I can't push Disk Threshold levels to some servers and not others? Out of about 25 servers, only 4 of them got the settings and I am having a hard time trying to figure out why.

Thanks again for your help.

I'd guess that on the Servers not being updated that SNMP does not have Write Access.

You needa Read/Write Community name and in W2003 Servers the default behaviour changed to allow selected SNMP Hosts.

I have all the proper SNMP settings with their appropriate permissions. The problem I had was related to creating a trust by adding the certificates to each server. I had a hard time trying to figure out how to do that with the documentation, but I finally did figure it out.

Thanks all for your feedback.

Thanks for your feedback. I got notifications working, but I need to open another thread to figure out some other stuff.
