Oracle HMP features two components for managing servers:
An SNMP monitoring agent
A family of cross-OS CLI Tools
With the HMP agent SNMP plug-ins, you can use SNMP to monitor Oracle servers and server modules in your data center with the advantage of not having to connect to two management points, the host and Oracle ILOM. This functionality enables you to use a single IP address (the host's IP) to monitor multiple servers and server modules.
HMP Agent SNMP plug-ins run on the host OS of Oracle servers. The SNMP plug-ins interface with the service processor and also with the host storage subsystem to gather monitoring information. By regularly polling the service processor, information about the current state of the server is automatically fetched by the Hardware Management Agent.
You use the Oracle Server CLI tools to perform these activities:
Configure BIOS settings, the device boot order, and some SP settings.
Update Oracle ILOM and BIOS.
Manage SAS storage device firmware and drivers.
Restore, set, and view Oracle ILOM configuration settings.
View or create RAID volumes on storage drives that are attached to RAID controllers, including storage arrays.
Monitor the health of the server.
