Overview

About this guide

This guide is for system administrators who use the HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 and other HP tools to manage the operations of HP BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures in System Center Operations Manager 2007.

This guide is intended for individuals who are familiar with the configuration and operation of Microsoft® Windows®, Microsoft® System Center Operations Manager 2007, and the HP BladeSystem c-Class Onboard Administrator. Because of the risk of data loss, only individuals experienced with using this software should implement the procedures in this guide.

HP assumes that this level of expertise is available to customers using the HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 User Guide. HP recommends reviewing your Microsoft® product documentation for assistance in understanding this guide.

Introduction

HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 complements and extends Operations Manager, integrating alert processing, state monitoring, and hardware resource lifecycle management for HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures.

Designed for Operations Manager, HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 provides user discovery of c-Class enclosures, predefined views, monitors, event processing rules, and tasks. These features enable administrators to streamline IT operations and ensure increased systems availability by monitoring HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure hardware platforms through a common Operations Manager console.

HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 enables user configuration, monitoring, and automatic grouping of the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures into a common view. Default monitoring highlights the state of HP BladeSystem hardware subsystems and components, and presents a consolidated view of the enclosure status.

Predefined event processing rules build on the functionality of events from HP Onboard Administrator. HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure hardware events are submitted to the Windows® Event Log and are displayed as alerts in the System Center Operations Manager console, including real-time and prefailure event definitions.

For advanced hardware lifecycle management and remote administration of HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures, HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 includes tasks that launch HP Onboard Administrator and HP Integrated Lights-Out web consoles for advanced remote enclosure and server administration.

Features

HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 includes the following features:

Overview 6

• Monitor Service to monitor HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures on the network

• Monitor Manager to register monitored enclosures with the BladeSystem Management Pack

• Management Pack specific to HP BladeSystem monitor and inventory

• HP BladeSystem icons for Diagram View

• Streamlined operation with HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007

• Fully scripted installation that imports the management pack into the Operations Manager 2007

database, installs Monitor Service, and installs Monitor Manager

• Console tasks to launch HP Onboard Administrator and HP Integrated Lights-Out Management

Processors from the Operations Manager Console and HP BladeSystem Enclosure Monitor Manager

• Enterprise extensions to the Monitor Manager and Enclosure Monitor including the use of DNS for c-

Class enclosure registration and the ability to deploy more than one instance of the Enclosure Monitor Service

• Support of the new Test SNMP trap in the Onboard Administrator Firmware version 2.10 or later

Benefits

The HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 provides the following benefits:

• Hardware resource management for HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures with augmented Operations

Manager

Product architecture

The HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 performs the following functions:

• Identifies, groups, and displays HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures in the Operations Manager

console

• Populates Operations Manager with enclosure attributes and configuration data for HP BladeSystem

enclosure hardware and the associated management services

• Monitors and displays the state of HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure hardware and associated

management services

Overview 7

All elements of the HP Server Management Packs are copied to the Operations Manager database. These elements include:

• Classes and Attributes

• Discoveries

• Monitors

• Rules

• Tasks

• Views

The HP BladeSystem Enclosure Monitor Service uses the user-defined information entered through the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Monitor Manager to connect and monitor enclosures. If the connection succeeds, the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Monitoring Service continues to monitor the enclosure for inventory, health state, and events.

After HP BladeSystem Management Pack is installed, the Operations Manager server transfers the HP BladeSystem Management Pack to the Operations Manager Agent managed by the Operations Manager server. The management pack discovers the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Monitor Service and monitoring enclosure information.

After the management pack discovery and monitor process, you can view HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure information using the Operations Manager console. The discovered inventory data and monitored state are reflected on the state and diagram views.
