HP Insight Remote Support and Insight Online Setup Guide for HP ProLiant Gen8 Servers and HP BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures

1. Log in to the Insight RS Console (https://<Insight RS Hosting Device IP address or
FQDN>:7906).
2. Select Administrator Settings in the main menu.
3. Click the Integration Adapters tab.
4. Click the HP SIM Adapter heading to expand the HP SIM Adapter pane.
The pane is divided into three sections: HP SIM Connection Information, Additional Settings,
and Perform Manual Device Synchronization.
5. Select the Enable HP SIM Adapter check box.
6. Enter the following information in the HP SIM Connection Information section:
• HP SIM Username—Enter the user name used to log in to HP SIM.
The user name must be for a user with administrative rights.
TIP: Use an HP SIM-specific account with a password that does not expire. This will
help you to avoid issues if the account is tied to an individual person's account that could
be disabled or locked out.
• HP SIM Password—Enter the password used to log in to HP SIM.
7. Select one or more of the following check boxes in the Additional Settings section:
• Automatically sync new/deleted devices from HP SIM—Select this check box to
automatically a) add any devices that have been added to HP SIM to Insight RS and b)
disable any devices from Insight RS that have been deleted from HP SIM. Note that devices
in Insight RS are not deleted, but are disabled instead. The devices will still appear in the
Insight RS Console.
• Automatically sync new/deleted credentials from HP SIM—Select this check box to
automatically a) add any protocol credentials that have been added to HP SIM to Insight
RS and b) delete or change any credentials in Insight RS that have been deleted or
changed in HP SIM.
• Forward service events to HP SIM—Select this check box to forward any service events
relating to HP SIM-specific devices to HP SIM.
IMPORTANT: When using the HP SIM Adapter, be sure to discover devices in HP SIM rather
than in Insight RS so the devices are synchronized between the two applications.
8. Select the Perform Manual Device Synchronization check box if you need to manually
synchronize your devices.
In order to correctly synchronize information between HP SIM and Insight RS, the device you
want to add or update must be successfully discovered and identified by HP SIM with the
correct credential and system information.
For more information about discovery and identification, see the HP Systems Insight Manager
User Guide.
When you select the Perform Manual Device Synchronization check box, additional options
are displayed.
9. Select from the following options:
• Include Credentials—Select this check box to transfer any changes made to protocol
credentials in HP SIM to Insight RS.
• All devices from HP SIM—Select this option to transfer all device changes made in HP
SIM to Insight RS.
• Single device from HP SIM—Select this option to transfer specified device changes made
in HP SIM to Insight RS. Add the IP address/FQDN for the device you want to synchronize
with HP SIM.
