Viewing licensed systems
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) enables you to view a list of systems licensed for the selected product.
NOTE: The iLO product must be configured to respond to license requests. This configuration page can
be reached by selecting the appropriate System Page, clicking Tools & Links, and then clicking the link
directed at the iLO. On the iLO, select Administration→SNMP→Insight Manager Settings. In the lower
part of the page, locate the Configure Insight Manager Integration section. The Level of Data Returned
must be set to Enabled or Disabled. If The Level of Data Returned is set to Disabled, the system is
reported. However, the licensing state cannot be determined, and the status indicates this with a message
of Not Available. If The Level of Data Returned is set to Disabled, there is no license record.
If an iLO system is deleted from the management server database , the iLO licensing information saved for
that system is deleted at the same time. For all other system types, such as servers, desktops, and so on,
licensing information is never deleted.
