README - HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3

-------------------------------------------------------------
For best results, update iLO Management Controller Firmware to version 1.80 or later. HP BladeSystem
Integrated Management Manager 2.0 displays additional data about racks and enclosures environmentals
if the iLOs on the blades are running this version of firmware of later.
-------------------------------------------------------------
To associate the McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem (firmware version 5.2.1.xx.00) or Brocade
4GbSAN Switch for HP BladeSystem (firmware version 5.0.1b) with the enclosure it is inserted in, you must
update the Server Blade Enclosure Management Module Firmware to version 2.30 or later.
HP Insight Power Manager
If you have licensed a system for Insight Power Manager and receive the following error message while
attempting to view the last data collection status on the System Page for the system, Unable to
communicate with Management Processor <mpname> in server <servername> because
the Management Processor does not have a serial number and(or) network address.
Please re-identify the Management Processor and try again., then there might be a
problem with duplicate iLOs associated with the system. Use the All Management Processors view and
identify the iLOs associated with the server. There is one iLO with its name being the IP address of the iLO
and another iLO with the serial number of the iLO as its system name. Deleting the iLO with no IP address
recorded resolves the issue.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After discovering new servers and their iLO 2 management processors using Reports→Insight Power
Manager, the task wizard indicates the server is not compatible with Insight Power Manager. Insight Power
Manager requires an association to exist between the iLO management processor and the server before
compatibility can be determined. If you attempt to use the Insight Power Manager tool before this has been
determined, you encounter this issue.
There are two solutions:
• Select the iLO 2 from the system list and execute Tools→Identify Systems to re-execute the Insight
Power Manager compatibility check.
or
• Wait for 15 minutes for Insight Power Manager's periodic system management to re-determine
compatibility. After compatibility has been verified, this problem should not reoccur.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When the iLO 2 credentials are removed from the Insight Power Manager options page, Insight Power
Manager continues to successfully collect history data from servers. The iLO 2 credentials on the Insight
Power Manager options page are default credentials. After good credentials are found, they are associated
with the system and the defaults are no longer used.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After an Insight Power Manager license is applied to a server and you navigate to the graph screen, it
displays Data Collection Status: System is not licensed for Insight Power Manager.
The Data Collection Status indicates the status of the last command issued to the managed system. If you
have applied a license after the last command was attempted, it is still the most recent status as no new
command has been issued to the managed system.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After applying an iLO Select or Advanced license to the iLO 2 using its user interface, Refresh Data is
clicked in Insight Power Manager to collect new power history data and a message appears indicating the
iLO 2 has no license. HP SIM must re-identify the iLO 2 to detect the presence of the new license. Select
Tools→Identify Systems to re-identify the iLO 2 or wait for HP SIM's periodic identification cycle to
complete. You can check the status of HP SIM's awareness of iLO 2 license assignment selecting
Deploy→License Manager.
