Solution: Follow the workaround solution provided in the HP Systems Insight Manager 6.2 Release
Notes available at:
Configuring additional/optional requirements
Unable to view/receive iLO 2 power threshold alerts.
Solution: Perform the following to resolve the problem:
•
Using iLO 2 Web Interface, you need to configure the CMS server to receive SNMP alerts
from iLO 2.
•
From Systems Insight Manager, you need to configure cpqHo2PowerThresholdTrap defined
in cpqHost.mib on the SNMP Trap Settings page (Options
→Events→SNMP Trap Settings).
•
On power threshold breach, iLO 2 sends SNMP alerts, which are logged against the system
and can be viewed from the Events tab of the System page.
Data Center Power Control Rule Users must be authorized for Monitor Tools.
When you do not have proper user authorization for Data Center Power Control and you simulate
or execute a rule, the following message may be displayed:
An error occurred while running the rule. Please make sure the user is
authorized for DCPC tool in HP SIM.
Solution: To avoid this error, you must have authorization for Monitor Tools for each possible target
of a rule. The administrator (with authorization to configure Central Management Server security)
must establish this through Options
→Security→Users and Authorizations.
Understanding power history calculation
For the non-monitored power distributors and power consumers, it is sometimes possible for power
management to determine their power history from other sources. Power history calculation is also
supported for racks. The conditions that can prevent power history calculation are provided in the
following list. For some of the conditions, suggested actions are provided to resolve the conditions.
•
Some power consumers do not have user-defined maximum power attributes.
Solution: To assign maximum power attributes:
1.
From the System tab of the system, expand the Power Management section, and click
Configure.
2.
Enter the maximum possible power consumption value in the Maximum Possible Power
Consumption (Watts) field, and click OK. The maximum power value will be used to
represent the power history of the system.
•
Some power consumers do not have monitored power sources.
Solution: Where possible, attach monitored power distributors.
•
The rack is empty.
Solution: Populate the rack.
•
The power distributor does not feed any monitored power consumers.
•
The power delivery hierarchy does not lend itself to a departmentalization of the available
power history. For example, when you assume that there are two unmonitored outlets connected
