HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) uses HTTP and SNMP for identifying management processors. Previous versions of HP SIM used only SNMP identification to identify management processors and obtain their statuses. Now, HTTP identification is performed first, followed by SNMP identification. If a new management processor has been installed in the server, the Web agents must be reinstalled on the server, or the management processor might not be correctly identified. If both the server and the management processor have been discovered and identified, an association is made. The association between the management processor and the server displays in the System Name column on the system table view page by showing "management processor" in server "system."

SNMP Status Polling obtains the status for the host server. HP SIM can distinguish between the following management processor products:

  • Remote Insight Board PCI

  • Remote Insight Board EISA

  • Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition (RILOE)

The system table view page provides information about management processors:

  • The server entry displays a Status icon in the MP column. The tool tip for the icon displays the status of the management processor. Clicking this icon launches the Remote Insight Home page.

  • The management processor entry displays the name of the server with which the management processor is associated by showing "management processor" in server "system."

  • For all remote management processor entries, the System Type field states management processor, and the Product Name field states Remote Insight Management.

The system table view page contains an MP column, which displays the status of the management processor. There are seven different status levels (Critical, Major, Minor, Normal, Warning, Disabled, and Unknown). These status level icons are the same status level icons used for software status. Refer to System Table View Page - Software Status Types for more information on each status type.

The management processor status icons launch the Remote Insight Home page and display in a separate browser. On this page, you can find the following information:

  • Current User

  • Server Name

  • Server Power Status

  • Remote Insight IP Address

  • Remote Insight Name

  • Latest Integrated Management Log Entry

  • Latest Remote Insight Event Log Entry

  • Remote Insight Mouse Cable

Clicking the management processor in the System Name column launches the System Page for that management processor. Refer to System Page - Identity Tab for Servers for more information.

For a server with a Remote Insight board, the System Page includes the Management Processor Information box.
