Readme - HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0
To discover detailed information for Linux running on ProLiant systems, you can do one of the following:
• Install the Linux ProLiant agents on the system.
• Update the snmpd.conf file. If you choose this option and do not update the snmpd.conf file, LINUX
appears in the Operating system name column on the system table view page, instead of the true
operating system name, such as Red Hat Advanced Server.
To solve this issue:
1. Stop the SNMP daemon.
2. Add the following line to the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file:
rocommunity public
3. Restart SNMP.

HP Insight Control power management
To manage ProLiant blades running ESX 3.0.x or 3.5 with the virtual ID option turned on, the HP ProLiant
SNMP Agent for ESX package must be installed. You can use the Configure or Repair Agents feature in
Systems Insight Manager to install the package. If you have already discovered ESX classic servers before
the ProLiant SNMP Agent is installed, you must delete these systems, install the ProLiant SNMP agent on
them, and re-discover them.
