SIM and the Insight Providers for Windows integration WBEM indications HP SIM can subscribe to 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 show how to activate and deactivate WBEM - HP ProLiant DL380p | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP Sy - Page 6

Disk thresholds You can set WBEM-based disk thresholds and disk and processor thresholds from within the SMH. HP SIM receives indications (if subscribed) when the thresholds are exceeded. Note Disk and processor thresholds cannot be received in HP SIM versions prior to 5.3. Figure 5 shows the window - HP ProLiant DL380p | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP Sy - Page 9
picture for users. "Follow-the-red" refers to following a top-level status value down through various levels to the problem hardware.

Figure 8. Installing Providers on a Windows server-configuration window Hardware and software inventory HP SIM provides a comprehensive inventory of hardware and software on the managed node, including reports for specific platforms. You may select from a variety of inventory items - HP ProLiant DL380p | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP Sy - Page 12
9. Configuring inventory reports HP SIM also provides a summary report from the Tools & Links tab on the Systems page. The default Data Collection Report contains all categories under the General heading as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10. Default Inventory Report for Windows Server running HP Insight - HP ProLiant DL380p | Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM Providers with HP Sy - Page 13
Property pages HP SIM Property pages (Figure 11) display overall server characteristics (1), status information (2), and configuration/inventory data (3). Read and reported in real time, the Property page data is exclusive to WBEM. Figure 11.
