I am trying to use Agentless monitoring with HP SIM for the first time, and I have a few questions:
1) Do I only discover the iLO and then SIM automatically finds server? Or should I be discovering both at the same time with the same discovery job.
2) Releated to above question, I tried just the iLO method, and it did find a server but it finds it by serial number instead of server name. So is this how it is supposed to work, or is there a way to make the discovery automatically find the server by name instead of SN? Or do I discover both objects instead of just the iLO (per my first question)?
3) In the iLO SNMP Alert settings, do I use "iLO Host Name" or "OS Host Name"? Does it matter?
4) I dont need SNMP installed on the OS, correct?
5) Why does a "software status" column show up for the iLO - its a worthless "blue question mark" icon so why do they even show it if the concept of software status and iLO is pretty much meaningless. Or is there some way to make this show usefull information?
Thanks
