Product overview
Product description
HP Insight Integration for Tivoli is a comprehensive solution that simplifies systems management by
integrating SNMP event and status indications for HP ProLiant servers into the TEC. HP Insight Integration also
enables in-depth hardware data collection for ProLiant servers and integrated links to HP management tools.
HP Insight Integration builds on HP hardware instrumentation and Insight Management Agent technology,
which work with native Tivoli services to provide comprehensive infrastructure management for Tivoli across
a wide range of operating system platforms. This functionality enables you to manage HP server and storage
hardware, in addition to other enterprise resources, from within a common Tivoli environment. Supported
operating platforms for host and managed systems include HP-UX, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, Windows Server®
2000, Windows Server® 2003, Novell NetWare, Linux, HP Tru64 UNIX®, and HP OpenVMS.
HP Insight Integration for Tivoli includes SNMP Adapter definitions for over 2,641 individual notifications, in
addition to Basic Recorder of Objects in C (BAROC) event class definitions and rules to correlate nearly 782
SNMP events. These definitions, classes, and rules integrate closely with the TEC application, enabling HP
SNMP events and Fibre Channel Management SNMP events to be identified, processed, and translated. The
events then appear in the TEC console. The predefined HP rules can be customized to suit individual TME
requirements.
HP Insight Integration for Tivoli version 5.1 also provides tasks and predefined database schemas that
enable detailed hardware data collection for HP ProLiant servers, which can be displayed and queried by
the inventory tools delivered with Tivoli Configuration Manager. Additional data for managed HP servers is
also available through the HP System Management Homepage, HP Systems Insight Manager, and HP
Lights-Out management tools using integrated browser-based tasks.
