Hp Server Information Available Using Wbem; Proactive Notification Of Server Issues - Compaq BL10e - HP ProLiant - 512 MB RAM Troubleshooting Manual

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.

HP server information available using WBEM

Insight Providers collect data from sources such as drivers and system firmware to populate the CIM
data model. HP SIM receives the system hardware inventory and hardware health monitoring data.
Table B-1 in Appendix B lists the component information provided by the environment by data source.

Proactive notification of server issues

An indication is a Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) concept that formalizes an event
representation into an instance of a CIM class. An instrumentation provider or the CIM Object
Manager (CIMOM) is written to monitor changes in a state and generate an instance of an indication
to notify the management application, for instance HP SIM, of particular events. In order for the
management application to receive event notification from the Insight Providers for ESXi, a
subscription to WBEM events must be initiated from the management application. Once the
subscription is made, the Insight Providers for ESXi will start delivering indications to the management
application server as events occur. The server consolidated health status is updated as the indication
is delivered. Every event or indication is delivered with the following information from the computer
system generating the event:
• Event time
• Computer system name
• HP Insight Management WBEM Provider version
• Computer system IP address
• Computer system OS name
• Computer system serial number and Globally Unique Identifier (GUID)
• Computer system product ID and model name
