Any monitoring(HP or third Party) tool to check the health of EVA?

[Fenny_1]

thanks guys for the timely replies.

wat about HP SIM, is it better then RSM?

The only thing i need to monitor is the hardware of EVA.

It really depends on your needs.

Basically command view will report events to windows. So the event notifier might be enough. WEBES can get command view event directly from there and can alert you too. IRSS is based on WEBES and can open a support case at HP additionally. SIM may be a bit oversized for monitoring this single device.

RSM is a framework for automating Business Copy and Continuous Access processes (Snapshots, Clones and replication). It has nothing to do with EVA monitoring.

IRSS (Insight Remote Support Standard) is a solution if you don't (want to) use HPSIM and WEBES is only one module of IRSS.

IRSA (Insight Remote Support Advanced) is kind of a 'plugin' for HPSIM. Again, WEBES is a module of IRSA.


HPSIM+IRSA is the most advanced solution and gives the best feature sets. You can enter you warranty contract+ carepack numbers for the EVA, servers and other components and can even verify your entitlements against HP's database. That way we've found a wrong serial number registration _before_ the customer had a hardware problem and we could fix that in advance!! As far as I know, that feature is not available on IRSS.

I agree with Torsten that it might be overkill for just one device, but once you're familiar with it you can always add other components later.

Hi guys,

Actually am accessing command view EVA using IP and web browser, i don't have commanf view isntalled on a server.

so which one of your suggested tools work best in my case.

I hope am not asking too much

[Torsten.]

According to the release notes IRSS supports the array based management on EVA 4400 with Command view 9.1 minimum.

Hi,
Sounds like you are using the ABM feature of the WOCP.
You can also set up SNMP tramps via command view as well to send to SIM.

Hi mark,

Yes am using WOCP to access the command view...... and i dont want to install command view on a separate server just for the monitoring purpose.

So i would like to know which tool is the best in my scenario

Hi Fenny,
I think the suggestions / links already supplied by Uwe and Torsten are probably what you require.
You will now need to investigate them further to see if they provide what you require.

Hi Mark,

I have installed command view9.1 and HPSIM6.1 on same hosts.

In EVA server options i have given the IP of the command view EVA machine. Now i want to know how can i configure HPSIM to discover EVA and only show critical alerts on SIM.

If there's any manual for this please send me the link
