Receiving SNMP alerts in Systems Insight Manager
You can configure RILOE II to forward alerts from the host operating system management agents, and to
send RILOE II-generated alerts to Systems Insight Manager.
Systems Insight Manager provides support for full SNMP management, and RILOE II supports SNMP trap
delivery to Systems Insight Manager. You can view the event log, select the event, and view the additional
information about the alert.
Configuring receipt of SNMP alerts in Systems Insight Manager is a two-step process. The process
requires Systems Insight Manager to discover RILOE II and configuring RILOE II to enable SNMP alerts.
1. To enable RILOE II to send SNMP traps click SNMP/Insight Manager Settings on the
Administration tab of RILOE II navigation frame to enable SNMP alerting and to provide an
SNMP trap IP address to RILOE II. SNMP trap IP address should be the address of the computer
running Systems Insight Manager. See the “SNMP alerts and settings (on page
31 )” section for
details.
2. To discover RILOE II in Systems Insight Manager configure RILOE II as a managed device for Systems
Insight Manager. Adding RILOE II to Systems Insight Manager allows the NIC interface on RILOE II to
function as a dedicated management port, isolating management traffic from the remote host server
NIC interface.
a. Start Systems Insight Manager. Click Options>Discovery>Automatic Discovery to
discover any RILOE II devices to be managed by Systems Insight Manager.
b. Select IP range pinging and, if the IP address does not already appear in the Ping Inclusion
Ranges section, enter the IP address.
c. Click Save and Run to add RILOE II to Systems Insight Manager. After the discovery is
complete, subsequent queries displays the device as a management processor.
d. You may need to edit the SNMP monitor community string (for example, by changing it to
"public") so that RILOE II appears in the list of monitored devices. You can change the SNMP
monitor community string by accessing the Systems Protocol Settings page. Click
Options>Protocol Settings>System Protocol Settings.
Another option is to click Options>Protocol Settings>Global Protocol Settings and set
community strings to use during discovery under Default SNMP Settings. When set, you can use
steps a through c to run discovery again.
For major, uncleared events, RILOE II traps are displayed in All Events. You can use the orange
button at the top of the page to obtain information about the major uncleared events. Click the
Event Type to obtain further information about the event.
HP Insight Agents for RILOE II must be installed on the remote host server to enable management of
RILOE II. See "Installing RILOE II device drivers" for additional details about installing and
configuring agents.
Systems Insight Manager port matching
Systems Insight Manager is configured to start an HTTP session to check for RILOE II at port 80. The port
can be changed. If you want to change the port number, you must also change it in Network Settings and
Systems Insight Manager.
To change the port number in Systems Insight Manager, add the port to the
config\identification\additionalWsDisc.props file in the directory where Systems Insight Manager is
installed. The entry must start with the HTTP port for RILOE II. No entry needs to be in this file for RILOE II if
it remains at the standard Port 80. It is very important that the entry is on a single line and the port
number is first, with all other items identical to the following example (including capitalization).
