Integration for Tivoli

Installing the HP Insight Integration with the TEC 25
Configuring a Tivoli SNMP Adapter
The HP Insight Integration for Tivoli provides a scripted task, Configure SNMP Adapter, to simplify the
integration of Insight SNMP events with Tivoli Non-TME and Tivoli TME ACF adapters.
The Configure SNMP Adapter task is used to copy the Insight SNMP event definition file (ins_evt.cds) and the
Insight object identifier file (ins_evt.oid) to defined target systems and amends the existing tecad_snmp.cds
and tecad_snmp.oid files. This task enables the Tivoli SNMP Adapters to identify and interpret traps
generated by HP Virtual Connect and the Insight Management Agents. The shell script Config_snmp.sh is
used to complete this task.
NOTE: The TME must include at least one SNMP Adapter. This user documentation includes
instructions for configuring both non-TME and TME ACF SNMP Adapters. For additional details
on configuring Tivoli SNMP Adapters, see your Tivoli documentation.
Preinstallation considerations
To ensure a successful integration with the TEC:
• HP recommends running the Configure SNMP Adapter task provided with the Insight Integration before
the setting up the TEC Event Server.
• The Tivoli non-TME or TME ACF adapters must be installed on the target systems before running the
Configure SNMP Adapter task provided with the Insight Integration.
• The SNMP service on all HP Managed Nodes and Endpoints must be configured to send SNMP traps
to the Tivoli SNMP Adapter.
• The TEC application must be fully installed and operational before running the Configure SNMP
Adapter task provided with Insight Integration.
NOTE: The port number that TEC uses to receive events is usually 5529 for Windows®-based
systems and 0 for UNIX® environments.
The Configure SNMP Adapter task supports Tivoli tier-1 platforms (HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, and Windows®) and
defines events from HP Virtual Connect and all environments supported by Insight Management Agents. For
a list of supported operating platforms, see the "Product overview (on page 8)" chapter.
Incoming events correspond to standard HP SNMP traps covering the following hardware platforms and
subsystems:
• System hardware health, power supply, and environmental status
• Fibre Channel, IDE, ATA, SCSI, SAS, and Drive Array (RAID) subsystems
• StorageWorks and SANWorks storage configurations
• Clustered and Standby Recovery Server configurations
• Predefined and user-defined hardware threshold settings
• Hardware prefailure monitors
• Network interface controllers
• Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition (RILOE) and Insight Lights-Out (iLO) technology
• Management Agent services
• SNMP/HTTP events and WBEM/WMI indications forwarded as SNMP event from HP SIM
