README - HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3

Create an event collection, and run the tool through the menus. Refer to the HP Systems Insight Manager
Technical Reference Guide in the Administering Systems and Events, Creating a Task to Delete Events
Older than Thirty Days and Creating a Task to Delete Cleared Events section.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When event types are dynamically added, you must manually refresh any event collections that are currently
displayed
Host Name
When installing HP SIM, CMS host names that exceed 15 characters are truncated, and the truncated name
must be used to complete the installation. After the install, two administrator accounts are created. One
account includes the original hostname\administrator and the other account includes the
truncated hostname\administrator. To sign in, you must use the original host name in the Domain
field on the Sign in page.
HP BladeSystem Integrated Manager
BPV in HP SIM does not display correctly, if C3000 Enclosure contains a BL870c Server. Enclosure picture
view can be viewed from Onboard Administrator (OA) web application if HP SIM includes the C3000
Enclosure with BL870c Server.
-------------------------------------------------------------
To manage ProLiant blades running ESX 3.0.x or 3.5 in the Synergy environment with the virtual ID option
turned on, the HP ProLiant SNMP Agent for ESX package must be installed. You can use the Configure or
Repair Agent feature in HP SIM to install the package. If you have already discovered ESX classic servers
before the ProLiant SNMP agent is installed, you must delete these systems, install the ProLiant SNMP agent
on them, and re-discovery them.
-------------------------------------------------------------
While restoring the OA configuration, initially the following message appears if the network communication
to Onboard Administrator is slow. Save/Restore operation is taking more than the expected
time. Please wait while the save/restore operation completes. If the restore operation
exceeds 4 minutes on Onboard Administrator, a message appears stating that the save/restore operation
could not be completed, however, the operation does complete.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When an Onboard Administrator (OA) is discovered, the enclosure that it resides in is created. If this enclosure
is daisy chained to other c-class enclosures, then these enclosures are also created. By default, daisy chained
enclosures are displayed as c7000 enclosure models. As a result, when c7000 and c3000 enclosures are
daisy chained, and the OA is discovered, the c3000 Tower Model enclosure is displayed as a c7000
enclosure. To ensure that the daisy chained enclosures are displayed accurately, you must discover the OA
on each of these enclosures.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When WBEM protocol is enabled, incorrect drive information is displayed in the Logical Volume section
in the Performance tab for a blade server. To view the accurate drive information, disable the WBEM
protocol and enable SNMP protocol. To do so, select Options→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol
Settings.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When the SNMP protocol is disabled and the WBEM protocol is enabled, the HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO)
firmware version is displayed as Not Available in tool tip of the Picture View. To view the iLO firmware
version, enable the SNMP protocol. To do so, select Options→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol
Settings.
-------------------------------------------------------------
To correctly identify the xw25p Blade Workstation, you must install HP Insight Management Agents 7.4.
-------------------------------------------------------------
To associate the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module with the HP BladeSystem enclosure it is inserted in,
you must update the HP Insight Management Agents to 7.3 or later on at least one blade in the enclosure.
