So the servers are HP blades since you refer to ILO (Integrated Lights
Out). Consider the ILO port a management port that only really gets you
access to the hardware status. There is an HP Onboard Administration
Module that you can configure the trap destination to point your
Spectrum server as well as allow SNMP get/set so you can manage it. This
is your chassis manager, it knows about the chassis and the blades but
it cannot give you details about the hardware problems on the blades
themselves.  

 

You are not done yet there is also a software agent that gets installed
on the HP blade server that you can configure to send traps to Spectrum.
This is how you manage the hardware issues on the blade itself. Then you
also have native SNMP agent or sysedge. All 3 of these things need to be
configured to manage blades. 

 

You should be able to put a trap destination address of Spectrum in
there for the Ethernet port that is lives on you are probably getting
them mixed up with the ILO port which there is one for every blade in
the chassis.

 

One cool thing that I did when I discovered the HP Onboard Admin module
it built a correlation domain and got an extra sub menu item for the
chassis.

Subject: [spectrum] Traps from the Console Port of the Server

 

Hi Guys,

 

Environment : Spectrum 9.2 on Linux Red Hat on UCS hardware .   SS and
OC on same server .

 

Had discovered and modeled  a SysEdge Server (Linux Red Hat) running on
UCS hardware. Now to receive hardware traps we had enabled trap
forwarding on Cisco Integrated Management Controller of that server .

 

Found out that the traps are being sent from the management port
(console port or in HP servers called ILO port) of the server instead of
the Ethernet ports . Spectrum is not showing these traps on the model as
it doesn't identify the IP address (given to console port) from where
its coming. Have checked that SysEdge agent (or even SNMP) is not aware
of the console port or the IP  address it has been given as it works on
OS layer. The traps are landing on Spectrum server (checked through
tcpdump) .

 

Any suggestions on how I can manage this and successfully receive
hardware traps from the servers.

 

Thanks & Regards,
