HP ProLiant Server Management Packs elements

The following identifies some of the major elements of the HP ProLiant Server Management Packs for
Operations Manager 2007 and the underlying elements used to collect data and process hardware
events and state changes. The management packs support two sources of instrumentation: HP Insight
Management Agents and HP Insight Management WBEM Providers:
For HP Insight Management Agents:
•
The HP ProLiant server discovery rules and scripts use HP Insight Management Agents, system BIOS
data, and information from WMI to identify HP ProLiant servers and collate individual system
configuration attributes.
•
HP ProLiant server state monitoring rules use data from HP Insight Management Agents MIB files to
monitor the condition of HP ProLiant server hardware and to populate the State views in the
Operations Manager 2007 Console. HP ProLiant server state monitoring rules also monitor the
availability of key HP ProLiant management software and services, such as HP Insight Management
Agents.
•
The HP ProLiant server event processing rules rely on HP Insight Management Agents and data
written to the Windows® Event Log to identify and process HP ProLiant hardware events.
When an HP Insight Management Agent generates an event, a corresponding entry is written to the
Windows® Event log, which is the primary event data source used by Operations Manager 2007. If
the HP event in the Windows® Event Log has an associated event processing rule defined by an HP
ProLiant Server Management Pack, an Operations Manager alert is generated and written to the
appropriate view in the Operations Manager Console.
HP alerts in Operations Manager include clear event details and knowledge-based data designed to
enable rapid analysis of real-time and prefailure conditions. Certain hardware events reported to the
Windows® Event Log can also generate additional events that indicate a change in hardware state.
For HP Insight Management WBEM Providers:
•
The HP ProLiant server discovery rules and scripts use HP Insight Management WBEM Providers,
system BIOS data, and information from WMI to identify HP ProLiant servers and collate individual
system configuration attributes.
•
HP ProLiant server state monitoring rules use data from HP Insight Management WBEM Providers to
monitor the condition of HP ProLiant server hardware and to populate the State views in the
Operations Manager 2007 Console. HP ProLiant server state monitoring rules also monitor the
availability of key HP ProLiant management software and services, such as HP Insight Management
WBEM Providers.
•
The HP ProLiant server event processing rules rely on HP Insight Management WBEM Providers
data written to the Windows® Event Log to identify and process HP ProLiant hardware events.
•
When an HP Insight Management WBEM Provider generates an event, a corresponding entry is
written to the Windows® Event log, which is the primary event data source used by Operations
Manager 2007. If the HP event in the Windows® Event Log has an associated event processing rule
defined by HP ProLiant Server Management Packs, an Operations Ma
written to the appropriate view in the Operations Manager Console.
