Overriding the HP ProLiant Server Management setting for the SNMP and
WMI management protocol preferences
During installation, the management pack type is selected: HP Insight Management WBEM Providers,
which are WMI-based, or HP Insight Management Agents, which are SNMP-based. If both
management packs are installed, the default management protocol preference is SNMP.
You can override the default SNMP setting and change it to WMI using the procedures in this
section. You can override the setting on a single server or on all servers.
Changing the protocol on a single server

2. Right-click HP ProLiant Server Discovery Rule, and select Overrides→Override the Object
Discovery→For a specific object of class: Windows Server.
3. From the Select Object dialog box, select the server that will be managed by HP Insight
Management WBEM Providers (using WMI).
The Override Properties dialog box is displayed.
