newbie question of SIM

[Karoly Vaczko]

I'm just about to start to use SIM for 2 of our ML350 servers (to be extended with 6 additional ML350s in a few months) from which one should be the CMS. I would like to have email alerts whenever a critical event arises (e.g. failed disk in array, failed power supply).

Is there a step-by-step setup guide for those who (like me) has never used SIM before? All I want is status monitoring and automatic email alerting, nothing more.

Thanks in advance.

Check out "Getting started with HP SIM 5.0 in a smaller Windows environment" from http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim --> Information Library. The whole document is valuable, but 'Setting up Action on Events' starting on page 19 is exactly what you want.

Thank you very much. Reading that document thoroughly helped me out.
