Configuring hardware monitoring in the ESM.import file

Hardware environmental parameter and host resource monitoring via SNMP is disabled by default. The Server Manager generates a notification when a configured parameter on a given host exceeds the minimum or maximum value allowed.

The Server Manager works with proprietary MIBs using SNMP agents from the following systems:

• Dell OpenManager

• Sun Management Center

• IBM Director

• HP Systems Insight Manager

  Note:

  No configuration is required for operating system monitoring.

  To enable hardware environmental parameter and host resource discovery and monitoring:

  1. At the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory, type the following command:

                          sm_edit conf/esm/ESM.import
                       

  2. Type TRUE for the IsEnvironmentDiscoveryEnabled and the EnableCPUFilesystemMemoryDiscovery parameters. For example:

     # Set to TRUE to enable discovery of 
     # Fan, TemperatureSensor, PowerSupply, VoltageSensor
     # via SNMP. Not applicable to WMI discovery.
     IsEnvironmentDiscoveryEnabled = TRUE 
     # Set to TRUE to discover Processor, FileSystem, Disk and Memory. 
     # via SNMP. Not applicable to WMI discovery.
     EnableCPUFilesystemMemoryDiscovery = TRUE
                       

  3. Save and close the file.

  4. Restart the ESM Domain Manager to load the changed values in ESM.import file into the ESM server.
