I'm by no means an expert in this area, but might be able to point you down a path we can stumble through together. Most likely you will need to import the MIBs for the Cisco devices into ITA so it knows what they are.

I'm going to be doing this today for an HP system I'm testing in the lab related to this article -- http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/Managing+non-Dell+Servers+with+ITA

Look at the first reference PDF on that page, and it might be enough to get you started.

As you can see on the page, I'm at the same point as you. I've got the HP system in ITA, and I can see some detail, but it shows up as a gray question mark because ITA doesn't really know what it is yet.

I think the answer can be found in the following link... scroll to the bottom and read the "Event Source Import Utility" information.

The problem here is that people are required to create their own .txt file (room for error/confusion here) which can then be imported into OM... But i also read that Openmanage doesn’t support snmp version 2 traps... which adds to the confusion.

We are in agreement with the problem of creating your own txt files. Too much room for error. I'm evaluating several ways to attempt a conversion of the MIB files into a TXT file for use with the Event Source Import Utility.

I'm working on the HP MIBs right now, and once I get something working I can crack open the Cisco MIBs and see if the format is similar in the source file. Then maybe the same script/tool I write will work, or can easily be modified.

Thanks, I will be waiting for this much needed initiative.
By the way, same as for IBM Servers.
We need a documented way to have HP and IBM Servers/Storage integrated into ITA.
