Monitoring HPE FlexFabric 5700

[TomasHamrle]

Hello, 

Customer have two HPE FlexFabric 5700 switches in his SAN. He would like to monitor the switch health, port statistics, performance etc. We have HPE OneView to monitor servers, but I found, that OneView supports only Cisco Nexus switches. Is there any free grafical tool, that can monitor 5700 switches?
Thank you.

Tom

Tomas,

There may be an HPE OneView Plug in that supports the Comware switches.   Might be worth a look.

Otherwise, Stanford University has built a pretty comprehensive web site of monitoring tools.  Both free and commercial are listed.  Check it out here...

While I cannot recommend one over another, a lot of sites are using the Nagios tool.  You'd have to take a look at it and see if it does what you need.

Regards,

David
