Management Protocol (SNMP) to HP Insight Management WBEM Providers for Windows. Overview HP has introduced a new product meant to eventually replace SNMP. Based on Web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM), HP Insight Management WBEM Providers for Windows improves management, security, reliability - HP ProLiant DL288 | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP Sys - Page 3
sources. When Insight Providers for Windows is used as a data source, the user can either manually refresh the information or set an Auto Refresh interval between 5 seconds and 30 minutes to get updates. • The System Box includes the following modifications : - Cooling and Power page has two main - HP ProLiant DL288 | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP Sys - Page 4

and the Insight Providers for Windows integration WBEM indications HP SIM can subscribe for and receive WBEM indications (asynchronous alerts that provide SIM users a real-time status for hardware components that are experiencing problems). Figures 2 and 3 provide an example of how WBEM indications - HP ProLiant DL288 | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP Sys - Page 6

. The WMI Mapper is required for HP SIM to manage Windows computers, including ProLiant servers running the Insight Providers for Windows. The WMI Mapper service runs separately from the HP SIM service. WMI Mapper configuration HP SIM supports two different configurations for the WMI Mapper - HP ProLiant DL288 | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP Sys - Page 15

HP SIM, using HP Insight Management WBEM Providers for Windows, provides a way to identify hardware components that may be having issues. This 'follow-the-red' strategy employs a consolidated status available in the providers and displays the overall status on the Systems page of the ProLiant - HP ProLiant DL288 | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP Sys - Page 22

managed node (Systems Page > Product Description table > Management Protocols). 2. Make sure the node is accessible (Properties link on the Systems Page or Options-> Identify). 3. Make sure the WMI Mapper has both services created and running. If no indications display in HP SIM: 1. Select Options - HP ProLiant DL288 | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP Sys - Page 26
Ensure events are generated - use the Insight Providers for Windows test event tool. 4. Make sure the WMI Mapper Indication Service is running. 5. Windows is identified as a management protocol: 1.
