  • Page 2: Abstract

    Abstract VMware virtualization technology has changed the computing landscape, transforming IT infrastructure with market-leading virtual machine products. VMware ESXi is a next-generation thin architecture, providing an efficient foundation for building a dynamic, automated data center. HP has tightly integrated ESXi into ProLiant platforms, simplifying virtualization deployments. Introduction VMware ESXi is a “thin”...

  • Page 3: Hp Server Information Available Using Wbem

    WBEM-based providers report hardware monitoring data on a regular basis without prompting, providing the most up-to-date server state information possible. Figure 1 shows the Systems Management software included with the HP integrated VMware ESXi. HP SIM and Virtual Center are available separately. Figure 1.

  • Page 4: Hp Integrated Vmware Esxi Provider And Profile Summary

    • Severity • Recommended action • Probable cause The Insight Providers deliver component information such as temperature, status (failed, repaired, degraded), and redundancy. This data comes from sources such as the main (base server) system, processor (CPU) subsystem, fan subsystem, power supply subsystem, and memory subsystem. HP integrated VMware ESXi provider and profile summary The Insight Providers for ESXi collect management data from the ProLiant base server system and its processor, fan, power supply, and memory subsystems.

  • Page 5: Managing Hp Integrated Vmware Esxi

    Table B-1 in Appendix B provides a side-by-side comparison of the information available in each environment, sorted by data source. Managing HP integrated VMware ESXi With HP integrated VMware ESXi, ProLiant customers can plug new servers directly into their existing VMware VI3 environments, while ensuring active hardware management using Insight Providers pre- installed on the USB key.

  • Page 6: Using Hp-Sim To Manage Servers Running Esxi

    Using HP-SIM to manage servers running ESXi HP SIM 5.2 or later and the Insight Providers are fully integrated to support identification, inventory, event monitoring, and status polling. In order for HP SIM to successfully identify a VMware ESXi managed node, the user must enter system level WBEM credentials. The WBEM credentials can be entered three ways: The “First Time Wizard”...

  • Page 7: Global Protocol Settings Page - Options-->Protocol Settings-->Global Protocol Settings

    Global Protocol Settings page – Options-->Protocol Settings-->Global Protocol Settings A user may enter credentials in the global protocol settings page at any time. When discovery runs (default schedule is once daily) or when new nodes are discovered, the global WBEM credentials are used to identify WBEM on the managed node (see Figure 3).

  • Page 8: System Protocol Settings Page

    System Protocol Settings page If the user does not supply credentials at the global level, then the user can declare the credentials at the managed node level. From the System page the user selects the “Tools & Links” tab, “System Protocol Settings.”...

  • Page 10 HP SIM can subscribe for and receive WBEM indications. These indications are asynchronous alerts that give HP SIM users a real-time status for hardware components that are experiencing problems. Figures 6 and 7 provide an example of how WBEM indications are activated and deactivated. Figure 6 depicts an example of how these indications are reported using the HP SIM interface.

  • Page 11: Status Polling

    Alternatively, users may choose to create subscriptions using the CLI: Mxwbemsub –a –n <node name> Users can specify which HP SIM Central Management Server (CMS) is the destination address for the WBEM subscription. In the example shown in Figure 7, the HP SIM CMS is not declared and the local CMS is being used as the destination.
  • Page 12 Every five minutes, HP SIM Status Polling collects an overall status value from the Insight Providers. This polling task collects the overall status from all WBEM protocol nodes In Figure 9 the circled item shows the health status on the SIM systems page. This example indicates a Minor condition exists. Figure 9.

  • Page 13: Identifying Problems With Hardware Components

    Identifying problems with hardware components HP SIM, using HP Insight Providers, provides a way to identify malfunctioning hardware components. The Systems page Health Status link reflects the status reported by the providers. Select the Health Status link to navigate to the SIM Property Pages status tab. The following example illustrates an error status in HP SIM.

  • Page 14: Property Pages

    Property pages HP SIM Property pages (Figure 11) display overall server characteristics, status information, and configuration/inventory data. The Property page data, prepared and reported in real time, is exclusively WBEM data. Figure 11. Property page examples...

    Troubleshooting WBEM Indications in HP SIM Follow these steps if a subscription fails: Make sure WBEM is a discovered protocol on the managed node: Systems Page-->Product Description table-->Management Protocols. Make sure the node is accessible: Properties link on the Systems Page or Options–> Identify. Follow these steps if no indications display in HP SIM: Select Options–>Events–>Event Filter Settings.

    Using HP Virtual Machine Manager to manage virtual machines running ESXi HP integrated VMware ESXi can be managed in HP Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). Most of the VMM features that are currently supported for other hypervisors are also supported for ESXi. The following VMM features are supported for HP integrated VMware ESXi: •...

  • Page 18: Using Vi Client And Virtual Center To Manage Proliant Servers Running Esxi

    Using VI Client and Virtual Center to manage ProLiant servers running ESXi VMware offers VI Client and Virtual Center to manage servers running ESXi. VI Client is a simple, graphical interface that provides remote interactive configuration and management of ESXi servers. It has been enhanced to provide capabilities that were previously available only on the service console.

Configuration tab Health Status data from an ESXi Update 1 server The Events tab shows all management actions performed on the ESXi host. To view these events, the VI Client must be connected to the Virtual Center server.

  • Page 20: Appendix A: Changing Standards In The Server Management Environment

    Appendix A: Changing standards in the server management environment The system management world is moving to standards other than Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) because SNMP-based management solutions have received increased scrutiny for their simple structure and weak security protocol relative to current alternatives. SNMP is a management standard in widespread use for a variety of management needs.

  • Page 21: Common Information Model

    WBEM has been broadened to include Web Services for Management (WS-Management) as an alternative management protocol. WBEM is generally viewed as more versatile than previous management standards such as SNMP because of its richer data model, which includes associations and inheritance, and its web-based protocols.
