In OVOW, the HP SIM service monitoring policies are deployed automatically upon service discovery
of HP SIM on a managed node. The service monitoring templates must be manually deployed to HP
SIM nodes in the OVOU environment.
Proliant System Monitoring
The HP SIM Integration provides SNMP trap interceptor policies/templates to monitor ProLiant server
systems. The policies/templates generate messages regarding the status of the monitored node’s
network interface, storage, environmentals, power management, and so on. An incoming message
automatically acknowledges any previous message from the same monitored object. This helps in
displaying the latest status of the node in the OVO active message browser and service views. The
message contains an operator action to launch the System Management Homepage for the node so
that the root cause of the message can be further investigated.
The IM Agent trap destination must be manually configured using the application provided in the HP
SIM Integration or via the server’s Systems Management Homepage, and then the SNMP trap policies
must be manually deployed to the IM Agent nodes. On OVOW, all the policies are available in the
Insight Manager policy groups. On OVOU, these templates are found in the IM Agents-Win group.
NOTE: If both the HP SIM default event forwarding and the IM Agent trap policies/templates are
deployed, a single incident may result in a separate message from each of these Application Groups.
The message formats will not be identical, but the underlying issue may result in two messages in the
message browser.
For a list of trap policies/templates supported and the MIBs they originate from, please refer to the HP
SIM Integration Administrator’s Reference Guide.
