User manual FUJITSU SIEMENS INTEGRATING PRIMERGY SERVERS INTO HP SIM DATASHEET 04-09

[. . . ] Integrating PRIMERGY Servers into HP Systems Insight Issue April 2009 Manager Pages 19 This White Paper describes the integration of PRIMERGY Servers into an established HP server infrastructure using management tools of the PRIMERGY ServerView® Suite (version 4. 20 or higher) to build on. Fujitsu Technology Solutions delivers the tools to enable monitoring of PRIMERGY servers in heterogeneous server farms using HP Systems Insight Manager 5. 0 or 5. 1 or 5. 2. System messages are passed on and displayed on the central management console using the alarm management facility in HP SIM; the messages are based on the various "Management Information Bases" (MIBs) supplied with ServerView®. PRIMERGY ServerView® Suite is the management system of PRIMERGY servers from Fujitsu Technology Solutions. [. . . ] Once the management controller has been detected and associated it is connected to the server in both the server list and the system's page. Please note that the iRMC is always recognized as `Lights-Out 100". Server list: Figure 3: ServerList with associated management controller White Paper Issue: April 2009 Integrating PRIMERGY Servers into HP Systems Insight Manager Page 8 / 19 System page: Figure 4: System Page with associated management controller If the automatic detection and association of PRIMERGY's management controllers is not desired, it can be disabled via the iRMC webinterface. Log into the iRMC, select `Server Management' in the navigation bar on the left side and un-check the `HP SIM Integration Disabled' box in the `HP System Insight Manager (HP SIM) Integration Options' section. To re-enable the management controller's HP SIM integration feature, just check the box. Disabling the management controller's HP SIM integration feature can also be achieved automatically if the server's OS is Windows. Copy "iRMC-simintegration-disable. xml" into the folder %ProgramFiles%\Fujitsu Siemens\ServerView Agents\Server Control\Incoming (or %ProgramFiles%\Fujitsu\ServerView Suite\Agents\Server Control\Incoming), this causes the file to be processed automatically. After being processed it will be renamed to "iRMC-simintegration-disable. out". To re-enable the management controller's HP SIM integration feature, use "iRMC-simintegration-enable. xml". On Linux the feature can be controlled via the command line. Type " eecdcp -c oc=E002 oe=1968 oi=0 cab=0 0x'01' " to disable the feature or " eecdcp -c oc=E002 oe=1968 oi=0 cab=0 0x'00' " to re-enable it. 5. 2 WBEM-based Information Retrieval In addition to SNMP-based discovery, HP SIM is able to retrieve asset inventory details when Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) services are enabled and configured. In order to make use of the information provided by WMI, the following steps are necessary: 1. Navigate to Options -> Protocol Settings -> Global Protocol Settings. The `Global Protocol Settings' page will appear (see Figure 5). In the `Default WBEM settings' section, select `Enable WBEM' Enter as many default user names and passwords as needed. For Windows-based systems, the user name should include the domain name, for example domainname\username. In order to minimize search time, frequently used root and administrator passwords should be listed first. Click OK to accept the settings 4.

In your environment, there may be different discovery configurations that allow automated discovery. The Device Type Manager setting described above will also work in such a configuration. Not that in order for this integration to work all PRIMERGY systems have to be re-identified e. g. by removing them from the system list and discovering them anew. [. . . ] With iRMC' with firmware prior to 1. 71A and iRMC S2 with firmware prior to 3. 21A the automatic detection and association of the management controller to its server is not implemented. As there are no applicable HP version control agents for PRIMERGY servers, the Management Processor and Software status will always be `unknown' or blank. HP SIM cannot display a graphical picture of blade enclosures for PRIMERGY servers or associate the servers with rack or enclosure information. The ServerView® Operations Manager provides the best manageability for PRIMERGY servers, including the detailed status, inventory information, and the launch of out-of-band remote management tools.
