Choose an Appropriate HP Agent Different hardware monitoring agents are available for HP servers running Linux, Solaris, and Windows. Depending on the server model, operating system and available protocols, you will have to choose between these HP agents: • • • • • • To ensure proper functioning of the Hardware Agent, the version of the Hardware Agent should be newer than the server, Operating System and preferably the Server's firmware revision. Using a Hardware agent whose release date is older than the server / Operating System / Firmware usually results in failed installation or incomplete monitoring. HP Insight Management Agents for Windows Server (HP's SNMP based hardware agent for Windows): Available for all supported versions of Windows, it requires Windows's SNMP service to be installed.
• Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM (WMI)Providers for Windows with HP System Insight ManagerIntegration note, 4th editionIntroduction................. 2Utilizing HP WBEM Providers for Windows............ • IntroductionHP Insight Management WBEM Providers utilize the Distributed Management Task Force’s (DMTF)Web-based Enterprise Management standard for managing server hardware, operating systems, andapplications. HP Insight Management WBEM Providers simplify integration with existing managementtools and processes. HP WBEM Providers give you an integrated set of standards-based managementtools built on top of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

If attackers can intercept SNMP packets, they can get the datacarried by SNMP, including system hardware information. Since you can encrypt WBEM, it is lessvulnerable to attacks based on network snooping.HP WBEM Providers use Windows-based authentication for local and remote access to servermanagement data.
• • An on-demand WBEM inventory of hardware and status• Remote Deployment of HP WBEM Providers and configuration of the providers• Starting with HP SIM 7.0, embedded agents along with HP Agentless Management (HP AMS)provide the default management software option installed on HP ProLiant Gen8 servers from HPService Pack for ProLiant. This component collects information from the operating system andprovides host-specific data to the HP iLO firmware. Windows Server 2008 x86 and x64 support HPAMS. • Figure 1 provides an example of how the HP SIM Systems page integrates with HP WBEM Providers. Device Driver Software For Hp Laserjet P1007. Figure 1: The HP SIM Systems page integrates with the HP WBEM Providers.WBEM indicationsHP SIM can subscribe to and receive WBEM indications, and then report the indications received.WBEM indications are asynchronous alerts that provide HP SIM users a real-time status for hardwarecomponents experiencing problems.
Figures 2 and 3 show how to activate WBEM indications. • Figure 2: How to subscribe to WBEM indications using the HP SIM user interface. • Figure 3: How to subscribe to WBEM indications using the HP SIM CLI.Figure 4 displays a WBEM indication report.Figure 4: HP SIM lets you view WBEM indication reports. • Disk thresholdsYou can set WBEM-based disk thresholds and processor thresholds from within the SMH. HP SIMreceives indications (if subscribed) when the system exceeds thresholds.
You can also set thresholds inHP SIM by going to Configure >Disk Thresholds >Set Disk Thresholds.NOTEHP SIM versions prior to 5.3 cannot receive disk and processorthresholds via WBEM indications.You can also set thresholds in HP SIM by going to Configure >Disk Thresholds >Set Disk Thresholds. • Figure 6: HP SIM lets you follow a status to offending hardware.WBEM Provider deployment and configurationHP SIM provides a convenient deployment tool for HP WBEM Providers. The HP SIM Configure orRepair Agents (CRA) tool lets you push the HP WBEM Providers to the managed node andautomatically subscribe to them. You can also trigger a test indication to confirm that the WBEMsubscription was successful. • Figure 7: How to access Manage Communications.Figure 8: How to begin deployment and configuration.Figure 9 shows the window you can use to install providers and agents.
Figure 10 shows the WBEMconfiguration window. • Figure 9: Step 2 of the CRA tool lets you install HP WBEM Providers on a Windows server.Figure 10: Step 3 of the CRA tool lets you configure HP WBEM Providers on a Windows server.
