HP SIM and IBM servers

[Global Unix Team]

Hi,

I am trying to configure SIM to gather data, mainly serial numbers and os level, from linux servers via SNMP.
It works perfectly with HP Proliant servers but with IBM xSeries servers, I can't get anything but the kernel level.

Can someone tell me if it can be done and, if yes, how it should be done.

Regards

HP SIM would use WBEM to do this. For Linux, that would typically mean using the Pegasus or OpenWBEM CIMOMs...

Thanks for your answer, I will make some tries.
But still I have a question : SNMP works perfectly for proliant servers without wbem from what I saw, is there a reason why IBM servers don't work the same way ?
