Re: "Tape Drive Status Change" alerts from 7.0 Insight Agents
We're experiencing the same annoying "offline/online" storage status messages, snmp traps, etc. on two new DL380 servers connected to SSL 1016 autoloaders.

Re: "Tape Drive Status Change" alerts from 7.0 Insight Agents
We followed up with the Storage Works folks, and got this reply:
"...[since] these are direct SCSI attached, you can disable the SCSI Info from the HP Management Agents. This can be accomplished by going to control panel, HP management, then select SCSI Info then Remove. This will put SCSI Info in the deactive window on the right side. We don't recommend stopping the storage agent because there are other agents that will restart it, like the foundation agent. This was a problem in the 6.40 agents as well.
Hp Storage Engineering is aware of this and I expect a more permanent solution will be forthcoming."

Re: "Tape Drive Status Change" alerts from 7.0 Insight Agents
I am having the same exact problem. If anyone hears about a fix for this please let me know and I'll do the same.
Thanks!

Re: "Tape Drive Status Change" alerts from 7.0 Insight Agents
- disable the storage agents if it bother you
- no we won't fix it for you
- we are planning a fix for mid 2005 when we change the agents architecture.
This is unacceptable for us and I would suggest that everybody with the same problem calls their HP contacts and asks for a more "responsable" answer.
This is not an answer for a company that wants to deliver enterprise class support.

Re: "Tape Drive Status Change" alerts from 7.0 Insight Agents
In the SIM online help in this same area it says:
Enable Trap Handling - Most traps are enabled. Trap handling gives you control over the volume of messages. Turn off nuisance messages, such as unnecessary informational messages, or repeated trap messages for an event that has not been corrected.
Isn't this what we're trying to do?
Thanks.

Re: "Tape Drive Status Change" alerts from 7.0 Insight Agents
What version of the agents are you running? Since we upgraded to PSP 7.1, I get these errors occasionally, always during very heavy backup periods when our library is working overtime, but I'm no longer flooded with false alarms. Is it possible that there is an actual problem with your SCSI connections or subsystem?

Re: "Tape Drive Status Change" alerts from 7.0 Insight Agents
Most of ours are Fibre attached through and NSR. So it's not soley a SCSI based issued.
There is an HP article, customer advisory EX040107_CW01 which descibes the insight management agents generating event ID 1192 during a backup. I suspect it's also the same issue causing the flood of message in SIM.
To the agents in appears that the library is going offline, then online again.
The fix in the article is to upgrade to 7.1 version of the agents.
My temporary fix is to disable that portion of the SNMP agent. You can still have the SCSI agent enabled on the server to trap SCSI errors of another nature, but through SIM disable the status change portion of the MIB. I believe that the trap numbers 5018 & 5019. (May be a few others also)

Re: "Tape Drive Status Change" alerts from 7.0 Insight Agents
We're running everything from 5.5 to 7.0. I did notice that none of the 5.5 backup servers generate this error but 1/2 of the 6.4 servers do and all of the 7.0 backup servers do.
No, I don't believe there are problems with the SCSI subsystems. I believe, like others have stated, that these annoying errors only occur during backups when the device is busy when it is queried and so SIM reports it as offline and then 10 minutes later it reports it OK.
BUT, my point of joining this thread is to find out why (either what I'm doing wrong, or to correct my understanding)configuring the SNMP Settings for the traps to NO - under the Enable Trap Handling option does not work as advertised in the online help.
I am glad, however, to hear you get these annoying messages less with 7.1.
Thanks.
