Install SNMP OS host agents for HP ProLiant G7 blade servers
For the appliance to monitor the health of HP ProLiant G7 blade servers, you need to configure
the SNMP settings for the server and iLO3.
1. Install the host operating system on the server.
2. Install the SNMP subsystem on the server.
3. Configure SNMP on the host to use the community string and trap destination of the appliance.
4. Using the latest SPP, install the HP management agent set and associated drivers. You will be
prompted for the SNMP community string and the trap destination.
5. After the HP management agent set and associated drivers are installed and running, add the
HP ProLiant G7 blade server to the appliance.
If you install the agents and drivers after adding the G7 blade server, you might have to refresh
the G7 blade server from the user interface or with REST APIs.
NOTE: If you change the appliance read community string, you must reconfigure all G7 blade
server SNMP OS host agents to use the new read community string. The appliance cannot propagate
this update to the host OS.
