Hi @AjaySaiRaj-6322,
You definetely need the HPE ProLiant Management Pack. Xin has posted the link to the Management Pack Guide, which will help you install and configure the MP in SCOM. It will also explain you how the monitoring exactly works.
Here is also the Link to the official HPE download Site, where you can get the HPE ProLiant MP for SCOM:
HPE ProLiant Management Pack for System Center Operations Manager
So the high level steps are:
Download the MP and the guide
Install and configure the MP in SCOM
Connect your ProLiant servers
Hope this helps you out!

Hi,
As Stoyan mentioned above, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides two standalone management packs for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). These can be used for health monitoring and alerting for HPE ProLiant servers and BladeSystem enclosures.
HPE ProLiant and BladeSystem management packs deliver the ability to quickly respond to events and alerts presented in the native SCOM format. They provide targeted integration for monitoring and root cause analysis with graphical characterization of HPE ProLiant servers, BladeSystem enclosures and subsystems from the SCOM console.
Please refer to the individual product User Guides at www.hpe.com/info/ovsc/docs for detailed instructions on installing and using the management packs.

Hi Ajay,
can you please provide more details regarding the servers?
Usually you need to leverage a management pack from HPE for that, but I can tell you which one after I have the details.

Hi Stoyan,
Thanks for picking this up.
Actually we currently have servers only from Gen1 till Gen9 and also would like to tell you that earlier one of previous colleague had setup the monitoring.
But i can see that only some of the servers approx. 20 are getting monitored out of 200 servers (including Windows and Unix)
I would like to know on how the setup to be configured as i see earlier the monitoring was setup by HP Insights Management Agents v(8.60,8.70,9.30,10.60) and also HP Insights Management WBEM providers v(9.1,10.20,10.40,10.60,10.61)
This seems to be totally confusing so trying to understand on this as we have this to be priority request.
Also we have HP SIM application installed and not sure if this is required for this as we are missing with the login credentials of it
