Event-only integration
The Insight Integration, revision 3.0, introduced an alternative installation process that integrates only the
HP SNMP event definitions and MIBs into an existing NNM environment. This process provides an
additional level of flexibility, especially when HP ProLiant servers are used, and the primary tool for
monitoring the systems infrastructure is the NNM Alarm Browser.
This method will not install the foreground and background processes, symbols, icons, and menu
extensions provided with the complete installation of the Insight Integration. See "Installation procedures
for HP-UX and Solaris platforms (on page 16)" or "Installation procedures for Windows platforms (on
page 17)" for more information on the installation methods.
The files used for the event-only integration are separate from those used by the full integration method
and must not to be used in conjunction with the full integration of the Insight Integration.
Comparing event-only integration to full integration
While the HP events displayed in the NNM Alarm Browser contain similar content using both Insight
Integration installation methods, the complete installation implements SNMP trap definition files from the
\traps directory, while the event-only installation uses trap definition files from the \hpqtraps directory.
Both methods display HP SNMP traps defined by Insight Management Agents up to version 7.90.
By using the event-only integration:
• Only SNMP event integration related to HP ProLiant hardware is provided.
• No discovery or status monitoring of HP systems occurs on the NNM map.
• No background or foreground processes are added to the NNM console.
• HP ProLiant MIBs must be loaded for varbind translation.
Installing event-only integration
To provide detailed entries in the NNM Alarm Browser for HP SNMP events, the HP ProLiant MIBs and
predefined HP SNMP trap definition files must be installed using the scripts provided in the \hpqtraps
directory. These scripts replace any currently loaded ProLiant MIBs with the new versions.
To install the event-only integration, load the ProLiant MIBs and the HP SNMP trap definitions. Do not load
the HP ProLiant trap definitions directly from the MIBs. Load the trap definition file to get detailed trap
translations.
Installing HP MIBs on a Windows NNM host
1. Log in as an administrator.
2. Open a command prompt.
3. Change to the integration \mibs directory.
4. Run the cpqload.cmd script.
