Proliant Citrix Server Configuration
ProLiant Citrix managed systems use SNMP for discovery, Remote Device Monitoring and configuration
collections. Before you can monitor your ProLiant Citrix managed systems you must:
l Verify the managed systems are supported by checking the Insight Remote Support Advanced
Release Notes.
l Verify that HP SNMP Agents for Citrix XenServer are installed and configured.
l Verify connectivity from the managed systems to the CMS.
Installing SNMP
Your Citrix managed systems must be configured to communicate with the CMS. Managed systems that
use SNMP notifications must include the following:
l All managed systems must have a working intranet connection, such as through an Ethernet adapter,
with TCP/IP installed and running. Managed systems must have two-way communication with the
CMS over this connection.
l Managed systems need the SNMP Agent software for problem detection and trap generation. HP
distributes the SNMP Agents and they are designed to generate SNMP traps with information that
allows for a more complete analysis.
l Finally, all managed systems need to have the CMS IP address host defined as a trap destination.

Installing SNMP Agents for Citrix XenServer
HP ProLiant systems running Citrix are supported by SNMP Agents, which are included in the HP SNMP
Agents for Citrix XenServer software package.
Note: On your Citrix managed system, the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file contains the current
SNMP configuration. During your configuration of the installation script of SNMP Agents, watch for
information about this file. When the script prompts you about Configuring SNMP access from
remote Management Station(s), be sure to include the CMS IP address. If you do not, you will
need to reconfigure this on the managed system.
