Management Processor Monitoring

[Andrew Schlafmann]

In HP SIM 5.2SP2, is there a way to turn off the management processor reset messages? There are a bunch of our IT staff at a meeting and I don't want to disturb them with "management processor reset" messages every five minutes. They all have Blackberry's that receive HPSIM messages.

Not quite sure why you would get Management Processor reset messages every 5 minutes.

You can remove the Remote Insight Agent using the HP Management Agents GUI (via Control Panel) which stops the agents from reporting on the MP.

The reason I got them every five minutes was that I'd update one server and move on to the next. They weren't all coming from the same server. Sorry, probably should have clarified that before. Is removing it from management tools the only way to do it? There isn't a MIB that controls that kind of error?

Andrew,
If you can identify which MIB originates this trap, you can instruct SIM to ignore it. Go to Options -> Events -> SNMP Trap Settings... and then you can drill down on the MIBs. Once you find the particular trap, you can change it so that SIM doesn't even act on it. Change "Enable Trap Handling" to 'No' and click 'Ok'. This way, you won't even see the event in SIM and you could change it back after your updates are completed.
I'd tell you which MIB to use, but we just rebuilt our server and I have no examples to work from. If you post the text from the event, I may be able to point you at the MIB.

Andrew,
You typically will see the title in SIM with the trap ID:
"POST Errors Occurred (6027)"
and when you click on it, you should get more info like what MIB it came from:
"Mib Information
The associated MIB File Name for this trap is cpqhlth.mib and the MIB identifier CPQHLTH-MIB"

This is what I use to ID what I need to modify. Do you have anything like this?

[Andrew Schlafmann]

I do have the MIB listed. I'll go ahead and play around with it and see what happens.
