HP Insight Remote Support 7.0.9 Monitored Devices Configuration Guide

Chapter 17: Configuring BladeSystem c-Class
Enclosures
HP BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures can be monitored by Insight Remote Support (RS). Configuring the
BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure only enables Insight RS to monitor the enclosure itself. The blades
installed in the BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure need to be configured separately to be monitored by
Insight RS. See "Identify Required Communication Protocols and Software Components" on page 21 for
information about configuring your individual blade types.
Configure BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures using one of two methods depending on the version of the
Onboard Administrator (OA) firmware you are using:
Important: Do not attempt both configuration methods on the same Hosting Device.
l OA firmware version 3.60 or above, register Insight Remote Support through the OA.
See "Register Remote Support Through the Onboard Administrator" on the next page.
If using a primary and standby OA, ensure that the firmware version for both OAs is 3.60 or higher.
l OA firmware version prior to 3.55, configure Insight Remote Supportusing SNMP.
See "Configure SNMP on the BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure" on page 145.
If using a primary and standby OA, limit discovery to one of the OAs and not both.
If using OA firmware versions 3.55 or 3.56 HP recommends you upgrade to version 3.60.
Configuring BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures Through
the OA
HP BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures can be monitored by Insight Remote Support (RS). Configuring the
BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure only enables Insight RS to monitor the enclosure itself. The blades
installed in the BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure need to be configured separately to be monitored by
Insight RS. See "Identify Required Communication Protocols and Software Components" on page 21 for
information about configuring your individual blade types.
Configuring through the OA requires firmware version 3.60 or above. If using a firmware version older than
3.55, see "Configuring BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures Using SNMP" on page 145. If using OA
firmware versions 3.55 or 3.56 HP recommends you upgrade to version 3.60.
Important: When registering for Remote Support through the OA, make sure your trap
destination is set to the same Insight RS Hosting Device as you register with for Remote
Support. When the OA sends service events to the Hosting Device, it also generates SNMP
traps that are sent to the SNMP trap destination. The SNMP trap destination needs to be the
same Insight RS Hosting Device, otherwise duplicate events are reported to HP.
