HMP Prerequisites

Before enabling HMP, verify all prerequisites are met.

  • (Recommended) Configure the ILOM identification information using the ILOM BUI or CLI. The KMA SNMP daemon logs a warning when these fields are not configured. The subsequent SNMP notifications will contain this information and aid with troubleshooting. The recommended fields to configure are:
    • SP Hostname
    • SP System Identifier
    • SP System Contact
    • SP System Location
    • Local Host Interconnect
  • The Local Host Interconnect settings in Oracle ILOM must be in the Host Managed state (this is the default state). To verify using the ILOM user interface, navigate to ILOM Administration, and then select the Connectivity panel. On the Network tab's page, verify the Local Host Interconnect Status is "Host-Managed" and an IP address is shown, (typically)169.254.182.76.
  • The ILOM Administration and Notifications must not have an alert rule configured for Alert ID 15, as this will be used when configuring HMP to have faults forwarded. From the ILOM BUI, navigate to ILOM Administration, then select the Notifications panel. On the Alerts tab, check Alert ID 15. From the ILOM CLI, "show /SP/alertmgmt/rules/15".
  • IPMI must be enabled in the ILOM. For the ILOM BUI see ILOM Administration:ManagementAccess and the IPMI tab.
