PMP 'ing my MSA

gstonian — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 11:39:56 GMT

Hi,

Been trying for a while now to get HP SIM & PMP to monitor a MSA we recently took charge of.

I can see the MSA1500 in the list (All Systems)in HPSIM alongside the server I have set PMP up on. When I go into Online Analysis I cannot see the msa or anywhere to tranfer or apply the license to the msa

I suspect it's because of something to do with the SMI-S as I cannot see the MSA when I run the wbemdisco command (see below).

I have already set up users etc via the UserAccountsManager.bat command so should have all the correct permissions

C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager>echo 23/01/2008 10:38:03.04
23/01/2008 10:38:03.04

C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager>echo off
WbemDisco 01.00.01
------------------
HOST = dc2prdhim01
PORT = 5989
NAMESP = root
USER = webem
PASSWD = *****
Connect to dc2prdhim01 in namespace root with SSL=true

Enumerating instances of CIM_RegisteredProfile...

C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager>

I've tried following the SMI-S Trouble shooting guide but it says I don't need any additional software to manage the msa.

The server the MSA SMI-S installed on is a ProLiant DL380 G2 Windows Server 2003 SP2 and Insight Manager is running on a ProLiant DL360 G4 Windows Server 2003 SP1. I'm pretty sure they are all compliant and supported so would appreciate any pointers in what I may be missing or doing wrong

Further to this I thought I'd try without SSL (in cim.properties on the Host SMI-S is installed on) and was successfull.

Question now is do I need to do anything from within Insight Manager to talk to this Storage Array ?

PMP depends upon SNMP (not SMI-S) to get all status of servers & MSA (if there is any connected to that server).

To get Online Analysis of MSA, you have to license the server (to which, it is connected) & start monitoring. You'll get 'redirect' icon on the left pane of the Online Analysis page of the server, which will navigate you to Online Analysis page of MSA.

Thanks.

Thanks

Had a breakthrough last night. It wasn't until I actually presented a disk to this server (was already zoned up and managing it via HP ACU) that I was able to see the msa disk,get the redirect option and then start monitorning the msa through PMP.
