Integrate NNMi with HPE Systems Insight Manager

HPE Systems Insight Manager (HPE SIM) provides systems management of HPE server and storage devices.

The NNMi–HPE SIM integration adds network device information to NNMi, so that NNMi users can detect and investigate potential network problems for HPE ProLiant servers and storage devices.

Use the NNMi–HPE SIM Integration

The NNMi–HPE SIM integration provides links from the NNMi console to the SIM agent on a device or directly to HPE SIM. The integration does not provide single sign-on between the products. You must enter your SIM user credentials to view the SIM pages.

Enabling the NNMi–HPE SIM integration adds the following actions to the Actions menu of the NNMi console:

  • HPE System Management Homepage—Opens the HPE System Management device home page for the node selected in the NNMi console.
  • HPE Systems Insight Manager Home—Opens the HPE SIM home page.
  • HPE Systems Insight Manager—Opens the SIM System page for the node selected in the NNMi console.
