Configuring HP Systems Insight Manager with Storage Systems

For optimal interaction between HP SIM and storage systems, complete the following procedures.

Configure HP SIM to discover storage systems

HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) discovers and identifies storage systems.

To discover and collect data from a storage system:

  1. Verify that the storage system has an installed and configured SMI-S provider. Refer to the HP Systems Insight Manager Installation and User Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more information about obtaining and installing SMI-S providers.

  2. Enter the user name and password for the SMI CIMOM in the Default WBEM settings section on the Protocols - Setting Global Protocols page.

  3. Add each SMI CIMOM IP address to the System Automatic Discovery task, or create a new discovery task. Refer to Configuring Automatic Discovery - Editing a Discovery Task and Configuring Automatic Discovery - Creating a New Discovery Task for instructions.

    Your storage systems will be discovered after the next automatic discovery task. If you want to discover your storage systems immediately, run the discovery task. Refer to Configuring Automatic Discovery - Running a Discovery Task for instructions.

Subscribe to WBEM indication events

If a storage system's SMI-S provider supports WBEM indication events, and you want to view WBEM indication events on the Event View Page, you must subscribe to WBEM events for the storage system. Refer to Events - Subscribing to WBEM Indications for instructions.
