HP Integrated Lights-Out 3 - Manual (Page 85)

3. Enable or disable the following alert types:
•
iLO SNMP Alerts—Alert conditions that iLO detects independently of the host operating
system can be sent to specified SNMP alert destinations, such as HP SIM.
•
Forward Insight Manager Agent SNMP Alerts—Alert conditions detected by the host
management agents can be forwarded to SNMP alert destinations through iLO. These
alerts are generated by the Insight Management Agents, which are available for each
supported operating system. Insight Management Agents must be installed on the host
server to receive these alerts.
•
SNMP Pass-thru—Use SNMP agents running on the host operating system to manage the
server. SNMP requests sent by the client to iLO over the network are passed to the host
operating system. The responses are then passed to iLO and returned to the client over
the network. Alerts are not affected by this setting.
4. Optional: Click Send Test Alert to generate a test alert and send it to the TCP/IP addresses in
the SNMP Alert Destination(s) boxes.
Test alerts include an Insight Management SNMP trap, and are used to verify the network
connectivity of iLO in HP SIM. Only users with the Configure iLO Settings privilege can send
test alerts.
After the alert is generated, a confirmation dialog box opens. Check the HP SIM console for
receipt of the alert.
5. Click Apply to save the configuration.
SNMP traps
You can generate the following SNMP traps with iLO 3:
•
ALERT_TEST is used to verify that the SNMP configuration, client SNMP console, and network
are operating correctly. You can use the iLO web interface to generate this alert to verify
receipt of the alert at the SNMP console. You can also generate this alert using the iLO Option
ROM to verify SNMP configuration settings.
•
ALERT_SERVER_POWER occurs when the iLO management processor detects an unexpected
transition of the host system power, either from ON to OFF, or OFF to ON. Transitions of the
host system power are unexpected when the change takes place because of events unknown
to the management processor. This alert is not generated when the system is powered up or
down using the iLO web interface, CLI, RIBCL or other management feature. If the server is
powered down because of the operating system, physical power button presses, or other
methods, the alert is generated and sent.
•
ALERT_SERVER_RESET occurs when the iLO management processor is used to perform a cold
boot or warm boot of the host system. This alert is also sent when the iLO management
processor detects the host system is in reset because of events unknown to the management
processor. Certain operating system behavior or actions can cause this type of event to be
detected, and the alert transmitted.
•
ALERT_SELFTEST_FAILURE is an SNMP alert transmitted when iLO detects an error in any of
the monitored internal components. If an error is detected an SNMP alert is transmitted.
•
ALERT_THRESHOLD_BREACH alert is transmitted when the iLO management processor detects
host system power to be above a user configurable power threshold, over a user configurable
period of time.
Configuring SNMP alert destinations
iLO 3 supports up to three IP addresses to receive SNMP alerts.
