Application Units are integrated into the status monitoring and display of the SE Manager and the remote service procedure of the SE server. The connection to these procedures is established via basic mechanisms of the operating system on the Application Unit (SNMP query). No further software is required on the Application Units for the connection.
You check and modify the configuration of the Application Unit in the following cases:
You (re)install the Application Unit.
You change the IP address space of MANPU.
You change the IP address of the MU in MANPU.
Further information is provided in the appendix of the online help under "Configuration on the Application Unit."
Change LAN configuration of the Application Unit
If your Application Unit is connected or is to be connected via MANPU, you must change or set the IP addresses of the Application Unit for MANPU in the following cases:
You (re)install the Application Unit.
You change the IP address space of MANPU.
You must perform the following steps to do this:
Use operating system resources on the Application Unit to change or set the LAN configuration of the LAN interface for the MANPU.
On the Application Unit, use the Linux and Windows operating systems to change or set the SNMP configuration according to the (new) IP address space of the MANPU.
Only when you are modifying the IP address space of the MANPU:
Modify the LAN configuration of the MU using the SE Manager.
Integrating an Application Unit into status monitoring
The hardware status of the Application Unit is determined by means of an SNMP query from the Management Unit to the ServerView agent on the Application Unit via the management LAN. To permit this the ServerView agents must be installed and SNMP must be configured on the Application Unit.
Detailed and operating system-specific information about the SNMP configuration is available in the appendix of the online help (see "Further information", "Configuration on the Application Unit").
> | Check the implemented configuration. The configuration is correct when the following conditions are satisfied:

It is possible to integrate an AU only at hardware level.
In this case, systems resp. VMs are not enquired and therefore not displayed, NOT_MONITORED is displayed as the system status of the AU, and the hardware displays are subject to certain restrictions. For more information, see the online help.
For details, please contact Customer Support.
Integrating an Application Unit into the remote service procedure
An Application Unit is integrated into the remote service procedure with reporting of hardware errors to the Service Center (teleservice call) by forwarding hardware error messages to the Management Unit. For Application Units with the Linux and Windows operating systems, ServerView agents must also be installed for the purpose of hardware monitoring.
On the Management Unit the messages forwarded from the Application Units are filtered further and sent to the Service Center using the remote service procedure AIS Connect.
The Application Unit thus reports on hardware errors to the Management Unit in two ways:
Trap forwarding from the iRMC
Trap forwarding from the Management Board
