Remote Insight Board

[juniper911]

Is it possible to disable the NIC on the Remote Insight Board as we do not need it? Or do we have to remove the board completely?

Cheers

If it is a PCI card, you could remove it but if it is integrated you won't be able to remove it. Either way, you should just be able to leave it alone as it does not do any harm. You could probably disable it in SmartStart but it hardly seems worth a server outage to be honest.

Whether it is disabled or enabled and not configured, it makes no difference to the server.

Its just that the NIC has failed and appearind as failed in SIM making it look like the whole server has failed but its just the embedded NIC on the board.

Juniper911,

I came across the same problem.
Even after disabling the bugger it appeared as failed... and after upgrading the RILO Firmware (as recommended by HP) - to fix this exact issue, the damn thing still reported as failed in SIM!!!

Go into Control Panel, HP Management Agents, and move 'Remote Insight Information' to the 'inactive agents' list.

Obviously, if it fails, you'll never know... but then if like me, you don't use it, it won't matter... and everything will appear green - lovely!

Might have to restart Management Agents first though!

Cheers,

Mark
