What's New

Revision 4.2 of the Insight Integration for Tivoli includes the following updates:

  • Tivoli Class Definition Statement Files (.CDS) and BAROC class definitions updated to support HP Insight Management Agents 7.70
  • Expanded rules for Tivoli event servers (over 550) with automated correlation
  • Support for HP ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management (VMM) events forwarded by HP SIM to Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) as SNMP event
  • Support for the Console Management Controller (CMC) events as defined in CPQRPM.MIB
  • Support to obtain and view ATA and SAS hardware data from ProLiant servers in Tivoli Inventory

AT A Glance

The HP Insight Integration for Tivoli simplifies systems management by integrating SNMP event and status indications for HP ProLiant, AlphaServer, and Integrity Superdome servers into the Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC), and provides tasks that enable the collection of inventory data for HP ProLiant hardware.

This comprehensive solution builds on the functionality of HP Insight Management Agents and works with native Tivoli services across a wide range of operating platforms. This enables IT administrators to manage HP servers, storage and other enterprise resources within a common Tivoli environment.

The HP Insight Integration for Tivoli includes SNMP Adapter definitions for over 950 individual events, in addition to event class definitions and correlation rules that integrate closely with the TEC application, allowing HP SNMP events to be identified, translated, and clearly displayed in the TEC Console.

The HP Insight Integration for Tivoli also includes tasks and database schemas that enable detailed asset data for HP ProLiant servers to be collected and queried using the inventory tools delivered with Tivoli Configuration Manager. Additional data for managed HP servers is also available through integrated tasks that launch the HP System Management Homepage and HP Systems Insight Manager.
