Integrating HP Insight Management WBEM (WMI) Providers for Windows with HP System Insight Manager, 4th edition

4
• An on-demand WBEM inventory of hardware and status
• Remote Deployment of HP WBEM Providers and configuration of the providers
• Starting with HP SIM 7.0, embedded agents along with HP Agentless Management (HP AMS)
provide the default management software option installed on HP ProLiant Gen8 servers from HP
Service Pack for ProLiant. This component collects information from the operating system and
provides host-specific data to the HP iLO firmware. Windows Server 2008 x86 and x64 support HP
AMS.
The following sections illustrate points of integration between HP SIM and HP WBEM Providers.
Identification
During the HP SIM identification process, HP SIM determines if a managed node is running a
Windows operating system. If so, HP SIM attempts to contact the HP WBEM Providers. If they are
present, HP SIM identification creates a path so it can immediately contact and collect data from the
WBEM providers using the reporting and status polling function.
Systems page
The HP SIM Systems page gives you an overview of the managed node. The Systems page summary
includes IP and DNS information, links to additional management tools such as SMH, and a
highlighted list of WBEM indications and SNMP events generated by the managed node.
