APM can monitor the Mac OS X Server 10.1.5 or latter version.
Configuring Mac OS monitor
APM can monitor Mac OS operation system using CLI or SNMP mode. Before starting Mac OS monitor
configuration on APM, make sure that the following conditions are meet:
• The Mac OS operation system to be monitored starts up, and the Telnet/SSH or SNMP is enabled.
For more information, see the Mac OS configuration guide.
• The host on which Mac OS resides has been added to the IMC base platform. For more
information, see HP Intelligent Management Center Base Platform Administrator Guide.
• Monitoring the Mac OS via CLI, APM obtains the Telnet\SSH user name and password of the Mac
OS host through the IMC PLAT. Therefore, you need to configure the correct Telnet/SSH user name
and password in the IMC PLAT before monitoring the Mac OS system, and the Telnet\SSH user
must have the administrator authority of the host on which Mac OS resides.
• Monitoring the Mac OS via SNMP, APM obtains the SNMP community string through the IMC
PLAT. Therefore, you need to configure the SNMP parameters in the IMC PLAT before monitoring
the Mac OS system.
