Identifying issues with hardware components
Using HP WBEM Providers, HP SIM provides a way to identify hardware components with potential
problems. This ‘follow-the-red’ strategy employs a consolidated status available in the providers and
displays the overall status of the ProLiant manage node on the Systems page. To use this feature, you
must configure the WMI Mapper in HP SIM. For more information, see “Configuring the WMI
Mapper in HP SIM”.
The Systems page Health Status link reflects the status from the Providers. Select the Health Status link
to navigate to the SHM (if installed). Otherwise, the Health Status link navigates to the HP SIM
Property Page Status tab. Both navigation methods let you find the problem components.
The following example illustrates a Major status in HP SIM. Figure 26 shows the location of the Health
Status. Additionally, clicking on the [+] button expands the health status, displaying each hardware
status component. Clicking on these components takes you to the SMH page (if available), or to the
Property Link tab.
