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

Figure 3 shows a service map of the Insight Management Agent services running on a ProLiant
Server. The HP SIM Integration discovery has found Insight Management Agents on the node
“DIDICAS” and created a Systems Infrastructure service map showing the discovered services.

In OVOU, there are applications provided to manually initiate the discovery process on the HP SIM or
IM Agent nodes. There are also service discovery templates to schedule periodic discovery of HP SIM
and IM Agent services. When the services are discovered, service views are provided for viewing via
the OVOU Java Console, and monitoring templates can be deployed to the node to monitor the key
HP SIM and IM Agent services.
HP SIM/IM Service Monitoring
The following HP SIM and IM services (or processes) are discovered:
• HP Systems Insight Manager
• Insight Management Agents:
- Foundation agent
- NIC agent
- Server agent
- Storage agent
- Remote Insight Lights-Out (RILO)
7
- Version control agent
• Insight Manager 7
The HP SIM Integration contains service monitoring policies/templates for each of these services. If
the status of the service changes, an event is generated which appears in the OVO active message
browser. If service monitoring policies/templates are deployed for the discovered services, events
generated by those service monitors are mapped as visual status changes in the service views.

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.
