Use the Discovery_CIM Knowledge Script to discover HP SIM configuration and resources. This Knowledge Script requires SNMP and the Hewlett-Packard Systems Insight Management Agent or SMA to be running on the HP SIM servers you are discovering. If a required service is not found or is not running, the Discovery job fails.
Set the parameters on the Values tab as needed:
Description |
How to Set It |
---|---|
Raise event if discovery succeeds? (y/n) |
This Knowledge Script always raises an event when the job fails for any reason. In addition, you can set this parameter to y to raise an event when the job succeeds. The default is n. |
SNMP community string |
Specify the SNMP community name string that allows access to HP SIM servers and data. The default is the community name specified in AppManager Security Manager or public if no community name has been specified. |
Event severity when discovery... |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to reflect the importance when the job:
NOTE:If required services, such as SNMP or the Insight Manager Agent or SMA, are not running on the computer you are discovering, you might see a severity 15 event indicating the computer is not a SIM server. The event detail message provides more information about what caused discovery to fail. |
Discover only physical interfaces? |
Select Yes to only discover interfaces that are associated with a NIC card. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 provide virtual interfaces, which are interfaces that are not associated with a NIC card. If you set this parameter to no, AppManager displays virtual as well as physical interfaces in the TreeView. However, CIM_NICFail and CIM_NICError Knowledge Scripts are only applicable to physical interfaces. If you attempt to run these Knowledge Scripts on virtual interfaces, the jobs will report errors. If you set this parameter to yes, the console TreeView pane shows extra objects as null or unidentified. The objects do not cause errors or problems with how the module works. Any time you change this parameter setting, you must recreate all CIM_NICFail and CIM_NICError jobs on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 computers. The default is yes, which results in no discovery of virtual interfaces. |
