Configure HP Performance Manager integration


If you own an HP Performance Manager license, you can install HP Performance Manager on the same computer as your HPOM management server. The installation configures the integration between HPOM and HP Performance Manager automatically. For more details, see the HP Performance Manager Installation Guide, which is available from the HP Performance Manager installation media or the product manuals search page at HP Software Support Online.

After you install HP Performance Manager, the Graphs snap-in appears in the HPOM console tree. You can configure whether operators can view graphs by setting the Graphs can be viewed check box in their user roles.

  2. Click Namespaces, and then click HP Performance Manager Integration. A list of values appears.
  3. Optional. Set the value of HTTP Port.
  4. Optional. Set the value of HTTPS Port.
  5. Click Apply.

Enable file downloads in Group Policy

To be able to export graphs from the HP Performance Manager Graph Design Wizard from within the HPOM console, you must first configure your web browser to allow file downloads from the Internet Zone. You can do this locally on the computer that runs the remote console, or globally for all computers in the domain.

  1. Start Group Policy Object Editor.
  2. Navigate to the following policy object:

    Local Computer Policy arrow User Configuration arrow Administrative Templates arrow Windows Components arrow Internet Explorer arrow Internet Control Panel arrow Security Page arrow Internet Zone arrow Allow file downloads

  3. Enable the Allow file downloads policy to allow file downloads from the Internet Zone.

Note NOTE:
The HPOM console requests graphs directly from the HP Performance Manager server using standard Windows web browsing components. For each computer that runs an HPOM console, the Internet Options in Windows must be correctly configured to communicate with the HP Performance Manager web server.
