HP Managemnet Pack
We have HP MP imported into SCOM 2007 R2 and it is alerting fine. I Need to know how scom monitors the HP Server Hardware , does it utilize the HP System management Homepage to do so. If i stop HP System management Homepage service will it affect SCOM monitoring at all. There are some issues with teh HomePage so we need to stop that service but not lose the monitoring functionality.

Hi Vivak, It uses the HP insight management agent as far as I know. And it links back to the management homepage if it finds something (not everything, but for some alerts it has to point back to the management homepage). For log entries you can see i the mgmt homepage with a certain status.Bob Cornelissen - BICTT (My BICTT Blog) - Microsoft Community Contributor 2011 Recipient

For HP monitoring, I see 3 categories : HP Non-Blade with Windows : You could use the SCOM HPProLiantServerManagementPacks for that. I use the SCOM Agent and the HP agent for retreiving the alerts to SCOM. HP Non-Blade with other OS : There is no solution proposed by HP for that. The only solution, that I found is to use the xSNMP 1.1.1E management pack that could retreive all the informations from SNMP, totally independant of the OS. HP Blade : There you could use the HPBladeSystemManagementPack that connect directly to the enclose, this MP is totally OS independant.

Hey Bob, Hope you doing great.. :) I guess then we can say , If we stop the hompePage Service , It might affect the monitoring. For now the version of Homepage on some HP servers is 6.2 and i am planing to upgrade it to 6.3 as that might fix the issue. Some links i checked not related to SCOM but regaring issue and Upgrade of Homepage that is what i think will help as of now instead of stopping the HomePage service. http://www.scip.ch/?nasldb.53532 http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00293371/c00293371.pdf
