HP Insight Remote Support 7.0.9 Monitored Devices Configuration Guide

Configuring BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures Using
SNMP
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.
If using firmware version 3.60 or above, HP recommends registering your c-Class Enclosure through the
OA. For more information, see "Configuring BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures Through the OA" on page
141. If using OA firmware versions 3.55 or 3.56 HP recommends you upgrade to version 3.60.
Fulfill Configuration Requirements
To configure your BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures using SNMP to be monitored by Insight RS,
complete the following steps:
Task Complete?
Make sure Insight RS supports your BladeSystem c-Class enclosure by checking the
HP Insight Remote Support Release Notes.
Configure SNMP on the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
Add the SNMP protocol to the Insight RS Console.
Discover the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure in the Insight RS Console.
Send a test event to verify connectivity between your BladeSystem c-Class enclosure
and Insight RS.

To configure your monitored devices, complete the following sections:
Configure SNMP on the BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure
If using an OA firmware version below 3.55, you need to configure SNMP in the Onboard Administrator
(OA) before the enclosure can be monitored by Insight RS.
Configuring the enclosure for Remote Support does not allow Insight RS to monitor the blades installed in
the enclosure. You need to configure each blade separately.
Important: If using a primary and standby OA, limit discovery to one of the OAs and not both.
To configure SNMP, complete the following steps:
