Using HP Rack and Power Manager with HP Systems
Insight Manager
HP Rack and Power Manager 1.1 can plug into HP Systems Insight Manager (HPSIM). As a
plug-in to HPSIM, HPSIM users can:
•
•
•
Discover HP Rack and Power Manager Management Servers. As part of the HPSIM
discovery process, HPSIM can detect an installed HP Rack and Power Manager
Management Server. HP Rack and Power Manager can be launched from the HPSIM
Servers Links tab.
Receive SNMP traps from the Management Server. HP Rack and Power Manager can
send event-based traps to HPSIM that include a URL in the trap. This allows
administrators to easily launch HP Rack and Power Manager in context. For example, if a
UPS goes on battery power, the HP Rack and Power Manager Management Server can
send a trap to HPSIM with an attached hyperlink that routes users directly to the HP Rack
and Power Manager Device Overview page for that UPS.
Conveniently launch HP Rack and Power Manager from within HPSIM.
— Tools menu—Users can add a link to the HP Rack and Power Manager Home page
on the HPSIM Tools menu using a tools definition file.
— Servers Links tab—The HP Rack and Power Manager Home page can be launched
from the HPSIM Servers Links tab.
— Event-based trap—A URL is included in each trap to link directly from HPSIM to
the Device Overview page for the specific device for which the trap was sent.
Discovering HP Rack and Power Manager
HPSIM automatically detects HP Rack and Power Manager Management Servers as part of
the device discovery process. If detected, an HP Rack and Power Manager hyperlink is
included on the HPSIM Links page for the system with the HP Rack and Power Manager
Management Server component installed. HP Rack and Power Manager services should be
installed and running before attempting discovery through HPSIM. If HP Rack and Power
Manager services are not running, it will not appear on the HPSIM Links tab.
