HP SIM uCMDB Integration

NEW!



HP SIM uCMDB Integration• HP SIM/HP HP Universal CMDB DDM integration module is a new Discovery andDependency Mapping integration module that can import configuration data

discovered by HP SIM into the HP Universal CMDB

• The integrator includes two pattern views that show all hosts and resources pulled fromSIM and relationships between these hosts

• An end user can quickly and easily extend/modify the information pulled from SIM toUCMDB using an XML based integration framework. This framework will be common toseveral UCMDB integrations and a UI front end is currently under development

• The discovery uses the HP SIM Web service API to get node information from the HPSIM database. Collected info includes:

− relationships such as Enclosure to Blade, Management Processor to Server, VMHost to VM Guest, and Partitions (npar and vpar) to Complex.− detailed inventory information such as serial numbers and driver and

firmware versions



HP SIM for non-HP servers



32 21 November 2013

HP Systems Insight Managerfor non-HP Systems•HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is able to manage non-HP serversusing industry standard interfaces of Simple Network Management Protocol(SNMP), Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), and secure HypertextTransport Protocol (HTTPS)

•Integrating the management of non-HP servers into HP SIM is very similar tomonitoring an HP server

•HP Systems Insight Manager Central Management Server (CMS) has built-inmonitoring support for non-HP servers, but for better monitoring HPrecommends that the third party MIBs be installed into HP Systems InsightManager



HP Systems Insight Managerfor non-HP SystemsDiscovery and identification • HP SIM can discover non-HP x86 servers using SNMP. HP SIM can identify non-HP

server’s names via DNS. IP address, product name and OS name are identified bydiscovery using SNMP

System properties and reports

• After configuring SNMP and WMI on your server, you can collect inventory informationand view HP SIM property pages



HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM)for HP Systems

• Manages all HP server and storageplatforms• Delivers fault, configuration, asset

management• Provides Version Control for

drivers and firmware• Integrates with customized tools

• Enables role-based security• Plug-in Extensibility• Supports warranty reporting and
