Product architecture

The HP BladeSystem Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 performs the following functions:

• Identifies, groups, and displays HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures in the Operations Manager console
• Populates Operations Manager with enclosure attributes and configuration data for HP BladeSystem enclosure hardware and the associated management services
• Monitors and displays the state of HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure hardware and associated management services
• Identifies, translates, and displays HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure hardware events written to the Windows® Event Log as Operations manager alerts
• Provides links to HP management tools for hardware resource management and advanced remote administration from Operations Manager

All elements of the HP Server Management Packs are copied to the Operations Manager database. These elements include:

• Classes and Attributes
• Discoveries
• Monitors
• Rules
• Tasks
• Views

The HP BladeSystem Enclosure Monitor Service uses the user-defined information entered through the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Monitor Manager to connect and monitor enclosures. If the connection succeeds, the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Monitoring Service continues to monitor the enclosure for inventory, health state, and events.

After HP BladeSystem Management Pack is installed, the Operations Manager server transfers the HP BladeSystem Management Pack to the Operations Manager Agent managed by the Operations Manager server. The management pack discovers the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Monitor Service and monitoring enclosure information.

After the management pack discovery and monitor process, you can view HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure information using the Operations Manager console. The discovered inventory data and monitored state are reflected on the state and diagram views.
