Fiber Channel cards monitoring through SIM

kkpro — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:55:20 GMT

Hi,

I have two Proliant DL380 G7 with hp snmp agents (RHEL 6), and monitoring was OK. Now I added two Fiber Channel cards (HP 82Q 8Gb), then enabled cmafcad agent (was disabled), restarted snmp agents and hp system management homepage. And still see no any traces of the these FC cards in web page.

Must I do something else ?

Hello,

If you use a Gen8 or newer server you need to install Agentless Managment Agent software and configure SNMP on the ILO. The software you use is software that works on Gen7 and below.

Look for AMS in this forum and you should find info how to configure the ILO4.

Oh sorry, my bad. These two servers are G7, not Gen8.

Don't know, what was the reason, but after serveral server reboots FC cards begun to appear in "External Storage Connections" subsection of "Storage"
