HP SIM not reporting hosts with EVA based storage

Matt_A — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:42:21 GMT

We have finally got our SIM to report on and collect data from our EVA environment. However, it doesnt report/collect on the associated hosts with the storage.

What are we missing?

Hi,

You are missing a Storage Essentials "plugin"

is this a plug in that requires SE purchase? It is my understanding that you can get this info from SIM

I am not sure about that. Maybe some custom tool which uses SSSU scripts would do the trick.

it was my understanding (via a HP StorageWorks conference) that this was an option to gather at least host names without the SE plug in. Thanks for your help.

I've not got the EVA collection to display the hosts - they all show up as Unknown. It would be nice to see it from a single point.

So you're only going to be able to see the host storage allocation from the hosts themselves.

Also it's complicated by the fact that some hosts (e.g. ESX ) can concurrently mount the same LUN.
