Overriding HP ProLiant Server Management setting for SNMP and
WMI management preference
After installation, you can override HP ProLiant Server
Management Pack by setting preferences for SNMP or WMI management.
The override setting is needed only when a server has both the HP
Insight Management WBEM Providers and the HP Insight Management
Agents installed. HP does not recommend the installation of both.
If the server has both installed, the default preference is SNMP.
To configure the preference, select the
SNMPWMIPreference override setting for HP ProLiant
Server Discovery Rule in the HP ProLiant Server Base Management
Pack:
To set preferences for the HP Insight Management Agents, select
SNMP to SNMPWMIPreference.
To set preferences for the HP Insight Management WBEM Providers,
select WMI to SNMPWMIPreference.
You can override setting to all servers or each of the
servers.
