Other management software warnings

Do not use external managers, such as HPE Systems Insight Manager (SIM) or third-party management software, to manage hardware that is under management using HPE OneView. Using another external manager can cause errors and unexpected behavior. For example: iLO has a maximum of three trap destinations, one of which is HPE OneView. If external managers define additional trap destinations, iLO removes one of the existing trap destinations. If HPE OneView is the trap destination iLO removes, HPE OneView will no longer receive SNMP traps and will not display server health or life cycle alerts.

NOTE:

Third-party tools do not provide any warning if they make or require configuration changes to the server. Use caution when using these tools.

  • If you attempt to change a resource managed by HPE OneView with other Hewlett Packard Enterprise management tools such as RBSU, it displays a warning.

  • If you attempt to make BIOS or iLO changes in Intelligent Provisioning, HPE OneView displays a warning.

  • If you attempt to change server firmware using SUM, and the firmware baseline associated with the server profile, for that server, is not set to Managed manually, SUM displays the following warning:

    HPE OneView is managing the server and it is configured for Service Pack for ProLiant version x. It cannot be updated to a different version directly using SUM.

  • If you attempt to make BIOS changes in RBSU on a server where HPE OneView is managing the BIOS, RBSU displays the following warning:

    Important: BIOS settings on this server are managed centrally by an external manager.

    https://192.168.0.0

    Changes made in the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) are not synchronized with the centralized settings. If this server is no longer controlled by the external manager, it is recommended that you restore the defaults on the server.

  • If HPE OneView manages the iLO, the iLO login screen displays the following warning:

    Warning: This system is being managed by: HPE OneView.

    Changes made locally in iLO will be out of sync with the centralized settings and could affect the behaviour of the remote management system.
