To associate the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module with the HP BladeSystem enclosure it is
inserted in, you must update the HP Insight Management Agents to 7.3 or later on at least one
blade in the enclosure.

If you have licensed a system for HP Insight Control power management and receive the following
error message while attempting to view the last data collection status on the System Page for
the system, Unable to communicate with Management Processor <mpname> in
server <servername> because the Management Processor does not have a
serial number and(or) network address. Please re-identify the Management
Processor and try again.

, then there might be a problem with duplicate iLOs associated

with the system. Use the All Management Processors view and identify the iLOs associated with
the server. There is one iLO with its name being the IP address of the iLO and another iLO with
the serial number of the iLO as its system name. Deleting the iLO with no IP address recorded
resolves the issue.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After discovering new servers and their iLO 2 management processors using Reports

Insight

Power Manager

, the task wizard indicates the server is not compatible with Insight Power Manager.

Solution: Insight Power Manager requires an association to exist between the iLO management
processor and the server before compatibility can be determined. If you attempt to use the Insight
Power Manager tool before this has been determined, you encounter this issue.

Select the iLO 2 from the system list and execute Options

Identify Systems to re-execute

the Insight Power Manager compatibility check.
or

Wait for 15 minutes for Insight Power Manager's periodic system management to re-determine
compatibility. After compatibility has been verified, this problem should not reoccur.

-------------------------------------------------------------
After applying an iLO Select or Advanced license to the iLO 2 using its user interface, Refresh
Data

is clicked in Insight Power Manager to collect new power history data and a message appears

indicating the iLO 2 has no license.
Solution: HP SIM must re-identify the iLO 2 to detect the presence of the new license. Select
Options

Identify Systems to re-identify the iLO 2 or wait for HP SIM's periodic identification

cycle to complete. You can check the status of HP SIM's awareness of iLO 2 license assignment
selecting Deploy

License Manager.

Insight Control virtual machine management

virt fails to update the change in VM name when performed from Virtual Connect. It is observed
that when a VM name is updated from vCenter that is registered on the hosts, the updated name
does not reflect on the 'All Systems Page". However, the change is updated in the host system
page after few minutes.
For the VM name to be updated and reflected in the All Systems system list page, initiate an
identification task on the host System Page.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After you have selected the Install Linux PSP or ESX agents and Register VM host options in a
Configure or Repair Agents task for ESX 3.5 U4 or later, the VM-host registration task fails because
the system shows as Not Responding in Vcenter. Vcenter takes about five minutes for a system to
reach a Normal status and therefore fails when HP SIM tries to register the VM host. Re-run the
VM-host registration task at a later time when the server is in a Normal state in Vcenter.
