I have already tried disabling the firewall on the SIM server. I didn't see much activity in the traps folder. I didnt have an HP server to test SNMP againt but i setup SNMP on a VMWare server and tried to descover it in SIM. The log states the following:
* Checking for SNMP protocol support on system...
Normal: The system responded to an SNMP request; it supports SNMP Protocol
and has a valid read community string.
- so im assuming there are no general problems using SNMP.
I am considering factory resetting the iLO controllers on the two servers just to make sure nothing is configured incorrectly, even though I can't see what that would be.
