To access the Information tab for a blade, select ToolsIntegrated ConsolesHP BladeSystem. Select a blade in the left pane tree, and then click Information.

This tab provides information divided into three categories: System Status, System Information, and Folder Membership. The System Status, and System Information fields are read-only.

The following information is obtained periodically and might not be up to date. In HP Systems Insight Manager, Discovery runs once per day by default. To change the schedule or to have Discovery run more frequently, select OptionsDiscoveryAutomatic Discovery. The Automatic Discovery - General Settings page is displayed. Change the frequency in the Schedule section and click [Save and Run]. For more information, refer to the HP Systems Insight Manager online help in the Configuring Automatic Discovery section.

System Status

  • Hardware Status. This is the overall status for a system. It is obtained from SNMP, DMI Status Polling Tasks, or both.

    In HP Systems Insight Manager, a system has one of the following status types:

    critical icon Critical. HP Systems Insight Manager can no longer communicate with the system. The system was previously discovered but cannot be pinged. The system might be down, powered off, or no longer accessible on the network because of network problems.

    major icon Major. A major problem exists with this system, it should be addressed immediately. For systems running HP Insight Management Agents, some component has failed. The system might no longer be properly functioning, and data loss can occur.

    minor icon Minor. A minor problem exists with this system. For systems running Insight Management Agents, some component has failed but the system is still functioning.

    normal icon Normal. The system is operating normally. The system is accessible.

    disabled icon Disabled. The system is suspended. This enables a system to be excluded from status polling, identification, data collection, and automatic event handling. On the Automatic Discovery - General Settings page, if you select the option Automatically discover a server blade when its iLO is identified, new servers discovered through Integrated Lights Out (iLO) (for example, no operating system or IP address known) are shown as disabled, until the system is discovered with an IP address or operating system.

    unknown icon Unknown. HP Systems Insight Manager is not able to obtain management information about the system using SNMP or DMI. Although no management instrumentation information is available, the system can be pinged. It might have an invalid community string or security setting.

    No Status. The system has not been polled by one or more of the polling tasks since the system was discovered.

  • Software Status. The software status icon indicates both the availability of software updates and how critical they are.

    critical icon Critical. HP Systems Insight Manager can no longer communicate with the system. The system was previously discovered but cannot be pinged. The system might be down, powered off, or no longer accessible on the network because of network problems.

    major icon Major. An update that contains a critical bug fix is available for this system.

    minor icon Minor. An update that contains new hardware support or bug fixes is available for this system.

    normal icon Normal. All components on the system match the repository.

    disabled icon Disabled. The system is suspended. Therefore, no software status is available.

    unknown icon Unknown. The Central Management Server (CMS) could not reach the HP Version Control Agent on the system, so the status of the system is unknown.

    The Unknown status is displayed for server systems only and under any of the following circumstances:

    • The Version Control Agent is not installed on the managed server.

    • The Version Control Agent is installed on a server, but that server does not have a trust relationship established with HP Systems Insight Manager.

    • The operating system on the target server is not supported. Only Windows operating systems are supported.

    • The correct version of the agent is not on the target system.

    • The target server type brand is not supported (only HP or Compaq brand servers are supported).

    • The target system is not licensed for monitoring by the PMP. The target system must have the Insight Management Agents 6.20 or later installed.

    • ProLiant Essentials Performance Management Pack (PMP) reports an indeterminate status for the system.

    inform icon Informational. HP Systems Insight Manager has detected that a particular agent or software is not installed or is out of date on the system. If you click the icon, a window is displayed, giving you information on how to resolve the issue.
