Threshold Agent
The Threshold Agent is designed to provide support for HP Insight Manager user-defined thresholds.
It also provides a generic way to set thresholds on objects in any HP SNMP MIB.
Users can set thresholds on counter or gauge MIB variables. Each selected MIB variable is
periodically sampled by the Threshold Agent at a rate defined by the user.
MIB data values are compared to user-configured thresholds. If a configured threshold is exceeded,
an alarm trap is sent to the configured SNMP trap destination and optionally to e-mail.
User-configured alarm thresholds are saved in the data registry until the user deletes them.
For further information about setting thresholds, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide
help file.
System Agent
Software/Firmware version information
The software version section displays the versions of the system software installed on this machine:
BIOS, drivers, and agents.
This section displays a string that specifies the version of HP Insight Management Agents running
on the system, and also displays the versions of the firmware installed on the system: FMP, FPGA,
and cPLD (XNC).
Cluster information
The cluster information section displays the overall status of a cluster. It also displays the state of
the cluster service running on each node, as well as the worst-case status of the shared resources
of each node.
Information about cluster nodes, resource groups, networks, interconnects, and software might
appear.
Cluster nodes
The cluster node section contains information about the systems that are members (nodes) of the
cluster. This section displays the names of the nodes, status of the cluster service running on the
nodes, and the status of the shared resources. The following cluster service status values are
available:
• Up—The node is operating as an active member of a cluster. A node that is up can respond
to updates to the cluster database, can host and manage groups, and can maintain
communication with other nodes in the cluster.
• Paused—The node is operating as an active member of a cluster but cannot host any resources
or resource groups. The node is up but cluster activity is paused. Nodes that are undergoing
maintenance are typically placed in this state.
• Joining—The node is in the process of joining a cluster. This is a temporary state.
• Down—The node is trying to form or rejoin a cluster or is down. A node that is down is not
an active cluster member and it might or might not be running. The Cluster Service might have
started and then failed or might have failed to start.
• Unknown—An error has occurred and the exact state of the node could not be determined,
or the node status is unavailable.
