Integrating HP OpenView Operations, HP SIM 5.x and Insight Management Agents (418413-002, February 2007)

to better determine the effect of problems or predict potential problems. Component services are
color-coded according to status. The HP SIM Integration provides separate service views for HP
Systems Insight Manager and the Insight Management Agent services under the Systems Infrastructure
service tree.
The following HP SIM and IM Agent services (or processes) are discovered and mapped into service
views:
• HP Systems Insight Manager
• Insight Management Agents:
- Foundation agent
- NIC agent
- Server agent
- Storage agent
- Remote Insight Lights-Out (RILO)
6
- Version control agent
• Insight Manager 7
In OVOW, when the HP SIM Integration tool “Add HP SIM node to node group” is executed on a
node, the HP SIM and IM Agent discovery policies are deployed to the node and run immediately.
When HP SIM is discovered, the HP SIM service monitoring policies are automatically deployed.
When the IM Agents are discovered, their corresponding monitoring policy is automatically deployed
to the node. Discovery also results in a service view being added to the Systems Infrastructure service
tree in OVOW.
Figure 2 – Figure 5 show sample service maps.
Figure 2 shows the HP Systems Insight Manager service category and the HP SIM services discovered
on nodes “DIDICAS” and “GUFA”.
Figure 2 HP Systems Insight Manager service map
The HP SIM node “DIDICAS” in
Figure 2 is colored red, indicating that a message with a “Critical”
status has been received for that service. The HP SIM service monitoring policy detected that the
service is stopped and the policy-generated message caused the service map to change to reflect the
current message severity.

RILO is an optional feature. It is discovered only if it is present on the system. You must have a Remote Insight Board or the Integrated Lights-Out
Advanced on the system.
