CommandView 8 and HPSIM not working too well

[Rob Buxton]

We have recently updated to CV 8.
I've changed the credentials to use the local account and things work - kind of.

The initial data discovery will work and I've successfully collected data for the EVA into HPSIM.
But subsequent data collections always fail.
We then seem to end up with some database locking on the HPSIM database.
Kill a couple of processes, data collections work and it all starts again.
HPSIM is latest version C.05.02.02.00

Anyone else using CV 8?

Bump!
No one using CommandView 8?

We are using CV8 for our EVA but I'm not having the issues you described. I'm not sure if your setup is like ours but ill describe our to you.

In sim we have an entry for our EVA system itself and also an entry for the management server (win2003). The Entry for the SAN is worthless as far as I can tell. If anything happens to the SAN (which it hasnt, but I test by pulling plugs) I get a message from SIM that lists the Management Server as the system that is issuing warnings or errors, not the SAN itself...

We are on SIM 5.1sp1 (but im upgrading to 5.2sp2 today)

The entry for the EVA in HPSIM shouldn't be worthless. If it's working you should be able to drill down and see capacity info including a nice pie chart at the bottom.

It also seems to have come right. I think there was some kind of database issue and there was some locking during the data collection runs. A few reboots etc. later and it's all settled down.

still getting locking in HPSIM, but I don't think it's CV8 related.
