Description

This connector provides hardware monitoring of the IBM BladeCenter chassis through the IBM BladeCenter Management Module (SNMP-based). Needs to run remotely.

Connector ID: IBMBlade

Target

Typical platform: IBM BladeCenter

Operating system: Out-of-Band

Prerequisites

Leverages: IBM BladeCenter Management Module

Technology and protocols: SNMP

This connector is not available for the local host (it is applicable to remote hosts only).

Examples

CLI

hws HOSTNAME -t management -f IBMBlade --snmp v2c --community public

hws-config.yaml

hosts:
- host:
    hostname: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
    type: management
  selectedConnectors: [ IBMBlade ] # Optional, to load only this connector
  snmp:
    version: v1 # Read documentation for v2 and v3
    community: public # or probably something more secure

Connector Activation Criteria
