HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Release Notes

Some of the features in HP SIM that are affected, include:
• The ability to effect configuration changes in the HP iLO 4 pertaining to Insight Remote Support.
• Configure or Repair Agents pertaining to the configuration of Insight Remote Support 7.0.5
HP iLO 4 settings
• The CLI cannot configure Insight Remote Support
• The Insight managed system setup wizard cannot configure Insight Remote Support.
-------------------------------------------------------------
HP SIM recommends that you install Insight Remote Support 7.0.5 to enable enhanced delivery of
your HP Warranty, HP Care Pack Service, or HP contractual support agreement.
Service Pack for ProLiant
When the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) is uploaded using the Upload Support Pack option,
HP VCRM Version 7.1.0 (or earlier) displays the HP SPP as invalid. This occurs because VCRM
Upload Control fails to process the component with a size of more than 100 MB.
SNMP pass-thru
SNMP Pass-thru discovery of a ProLiant Gen 8 server through HP iLO 4 does not work as in the
previous Generations. An alternate way to achieve this functionality is to install HP ProLiant Agentless
Management Service on the server and select Agentless Management in HP iLO 4 Management
page. This discovers and associates the complete server details with the server node.
Software/Firmware
The following features are not supported from an HP-UX CMS:
• Offline firmware upgrade
• Installs to Onboard Administrator, HP iLO, or version control
• Installs to servers that are not running the HP Version Control Agent
HP SIM can be set up on a Linux or (better yet) Windows system to gain this functionality.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Install Software and Firmware deployment to an iLO will not work if Trust Platform Mode is disabled
on the server.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you select Deploy→Software/Firmware Baselines→Track Software and Firmware Versions to
install a HP SPP using the offline mode, and if an identification task is run while the iLO is running
in embedded SmartStart mode, then an extra iLO might be incorrectly and partially discovered
and the deployment task results might show success to the real iLO and failure to the incorrect iLO.
In this case the deployment was successful. Running identification again while the iLO is not in
embedded SmartStart mode will remove the incorrect iLO.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Software or Firmware upgrades through HP-UX and HP SIM require the HP VCA be present on the
target. While SW/FW upgrades from a Linux or Windows CMS can perform target-based FW
upgrades to OA and VC, these upgrades are not possible through an HP-UX CMS.
