HP iLO 3 User Guide

The iLO management processor is displayed as an icon on the same row as its host server. The
color of the icon represents the status of the management processor.
For a list of device statuses, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide.
iLO links in HP SIM
For ease of management, HP SIM creates links to the following:
• iLO and the host server from any System(s) list
• The server from the System page for iLO
• iLO from the System page for the server
The System(s) list pages display iLO, the server, and the relationship between iLO and the server.
• Click a status icon to display the iLO web interface.
• Click the iLO or server name to display the System page of the device.
Viewing iLO in HP SIM System(s) lists
iLO management processors can be viewed in HP SIM. A user who has full configuration rights
can create and use customized system collections to group management processors. For more
information, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide.
Receiving SNMP alerts in HP SIM
You can configure iLO to forward alerts from the management agents of the host operating system
and to send iLO alerts to HP SIM.
HP SIM supports full SNMP management. iLO supports SNMP trap delivery to HP SIM. You can
view the event log, select the event, and view additional information about the alert.
Configuring the receipt of SNMP alerts in HP SIM:
1. To enable iLO to send SNMP traps, navigate to the Administration→Management page and
configure the settings for SNMP, SNMP alerting, and Insight Management Integration. Enter
the IP address of the HP SIM computer in the SNMP Alert Destination(s) box.
For more information, see “Configuring iLO Management settings” (page 84).
2. To discover iLO in HP SIM, configure iLO as a managed device for HP SIM.
This enables the NIC interface on iLO to function as a dedicated management port, isolating
management traffic from the NIC interface for the remote host server. For instructions, see the
HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide.
For major events that are not cleared, iLO traps appear in All Events. To obtain more
information about the event, click Event Type.
HP SIM port matching
HP SIM is configured to start an HTTP session to check for iLO at port 80. If you want to change
the port number, you must change it in both iLO and HP SIM.
• To change the port in iLO, navigate to the Administration→Access Settings page, and then
enter the new port number in the Web Server Non-SSL Port box.
• To change the port number in HP SIM, add the port to the config\identification\
additionalWsDisc.props file in the HP SIM installation directory. If iLO uses the default
port (80), you do not need to edit this file.
The port entry must be on a single line with the port number first, and with all other items
identical to the following example (including capitalization). This example shows the correct
entry for discovering iLO at port 55000.
