6 HP Systems Insight Manager integration
Integrating iLO 2 with HP SIM
iLO 2 fully integrates with HP SIM in key operating environments. Full integration with Systems
Insight Manager also provides a single management console for launching a standard Web
browser to access. While the operating system is running, you can establish a connection to iLO
2 using HP SIM.
Integration with HP SIM provides:
• Support for SNMP trap delivery to a HP SIM console
Delivery to a HP SIM console can be configured to forward SNMP traps to a pager or e-mail.
• Support for SNMP management
HP SIM is allowed to access the Insight Management Agents information through iLO 2.
• Support for a management processor
HP SIM adds support for a new device type, the management processor. All iLO 2 devices
installed in servers on the network are discovered in HP SIM as management processors. The
management processors are associated with the servers in which they are installed.
• Grouping of iLO 2 management processors
All iLO 2 devices can be grouped together logically and displayed on one page. This capability
provides access to iLO 2 from one point in HP SIM.
• iLO 2 hyperlinks
HP SIM provides a hyperlink on the server device page to launch and connect to iLO 2.
• HP Management Agents
iLO 2, combined with HP Management Agents, provides remote access to system management
information through the iLO 2 browser-based interface.
HP SIM functional overview
HP SIM enables you to:
• Identify iLO 2 processors.
• Create an association between iLO 2 and its server.
• Create links between iLO 2 and its server.
• View iLO 2 and server information and status.
• Control the amount of detailed information displayed for iLO 2.
• Draw a visualization of the ProLiant BL p-Class rack infrastructure.
The following sections give a summary of each function. For detailed information on these benefits
and how to use HP SIM, see the HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide, provided
with HP SIM and available on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim).
Establishing SSO with HP SIM
1. Browse to an iLO 2 and login using Administrator credentials.
2. Select the Administration tab
3. In the menu, select Security.
