Introduction HP Insight Environmental Observer (HPIEO) is a web-based application that lets you view environmental and power data from monitored sensors in a data center: • Rack temperature and humidity • CRAH/CRAC temperature • Differential subfloor static pressure • Chilled water energy consumption • Electrical power and energy values With a single software installation, HPIEO can monitor these values for a single data center or for multiple data centers.

Configuring HPIEO to send SNMP traps to HP SIM Perform the following steps to send SNMP traps from HPIEO software to HP SIM: 1. Login to HPIEO software as an administrator. 2. Go to the Administration -> Options menu (Figure 1). Figure 1. Opening the Options Menu 3. In the Options window under the Auditors tab, check the Observer auditor checkbox and enter the server IP address in the Host field (Figure 2). Figure 2.

4. In the Options window under the SNMP tab, enter the server IP address in the Source Address field (Figure 3), and then click Add to display a window for entering information on the next trap receiver. Figure 3. Entering the IP address in the SNMP Source Address field 5. Enter the next SNMP trap receiver information and click OK (Figure 4). Figure 4. Adding the next SNMP trap receiver information 6.

Viewing traps sent from HPIEO server in HP SIM Once you have configured the SNMP trap receiver information in HPIEO, you can view the traps sent from the HPIEO server in HP SIM: 1. Select an HPIEO trap from the All Events window in HP SIM. 2. Click the Event Type. You will see the details of the SNMP trap sent from the HPIEO server (Figure 5). Figure 5.

NOTE: You can also use the HP OM agent on the HP OM Management Server. Listed below are important configuration settings for the OM agent that will receive the HPIEO SNMP traps: • In Windows (if you don’t run the Windows SNMP Trap Service), set SNMP_SESSION_MODE NNM_LIBS to ovconfchg -ns eaagt -set SNMP_SESSION_MODE NNM_LIBS • In UNIX, configure the OM agent for receiving SNMP without NNMs trapped: ovconfchg -ns eaagt -set SNMP_SESSION_MODE NO_TRAPD Complete the following configuration steps: 1.

Figure 7. Test for adding an external node Deploying the SNMP policy You must deploy the SNMP policy to the agent system that you want to receive the traps from HPIEO: 1. Go to Policy Management -> Agent Policy by type > SNMP. 2. Right-click HPIEO Policy -> All Tasks, and then click Deploy 3. After you deploy the SNMP policy on your remote desktop, open the HP Operations Manager Console. 4. When the HP Operations Manager Console is open, look for the SNMP trap sent from the HPIEO server (Figure 8).
