WBEM-based providers report hardware monitoring data on a regular basis without prompting, providing the most up-to-date server state information possible. Figure 1 shows the Systems Management software included with the HP integrated VMware ESXi. HP SIM and Virtual Center are available separately. Figure 1. Software included with HP integrated VMware ESXi HP server information available using WBEM Insight Providers collect data from sources such as drivers and system firmware to populate the CIM data model. HP SIM receives the system hardware inventory and hardware health monitoring data. Table B-1 in Appendix B lists the component information provided by the environment by data source. Proactive notification of server issues An indication is a Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) concept that formalizes an event representation into an instance of a CIM class. An instrumentation provider or the CIM Object Manager (CIMOM) is written to monitor changes in a state and generate an instance of an indication to notify the management application, for instance HP SIM, of particular events. In order for the management application to receive event notification from the Insight Providers for ESXi, a subscription to WBEM events must be initiated from the management application. Once the subscription is made, the Insight Providers for ESXi will start delivering indications to the management application server as events occur. The server consolidated health status is updated as the indication is delivered. Every event or indication is delivered with the following information from the computer system generating the event: • Event time • Computer system name • HP Insight Management WBEM Provider version • Computer system IP address • Computer system OS name • Computer system serial number and Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) • Computer system product ID and model name 3

Proactive notification of server issues
An indication is a Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) concept that formalizes an event
representation into an instance of a CIM class. An instrumentation provider or the CIM Object
Manager (CIMOM) is written to monitor changes in a state and generate an instance of an indication
to notify the management application, for instance HP SIM, of particular events. In order for the
management application to receive event notification from the Insight Providers for ESXi, a
subscription to WBEM events must be initiated from the management application. Once the
subscription is made, the Insight Providers for ESXi will start delivering indications to the management
application server as events occur. The server consolidated health status is updated as the indication
is delivered. Every event or indication is delivered with the following information from the computer
system generating the event:
•
Event time
•
Computer system name
•
HP Insight Management WBEM Provider version
•
Computer system IP address
•
Computer system OS name
•
Computer system serial number and Globally Unique Identifier (GUID)
•
Computer system product ID and model name
