SNMP Trap for Disk Space

[EricL_1]

I'm new to SIM. Ive configured traps to send emails when critical events occur. But I am not getting anything when disk space gets low. Which event (trap) do I select for that to occur? I tried the Drive Polling but that doesn't seem to do what I need. My servers are all Windows 2000 (with a couple 2003). Thanks for any input.

Eric,
Did you configure disk thresholds?
You can do this from HP SIM
"configure --> disk thresholds" (for all servers) or from system management homepage on each server.

When I do this, SIM comes back and says 2 of my servers are "not WINNT or LINUX or IPX or OPENVMA: wrong Operating System..." but these 2 machines are running Windows 2000 Server (both are DCs). If I go ahead and exclude these 2 servers, i set the Critical Threshold to 90, reset Critial to 0, Warning usage at 85, reset warning at 0 and interval to 120. I schedule it to run periodically to Every 1 hour. I click on Done. It then comes back with an IE pop-up window saying Null.

Check that server have a read/write
(or read/create) community string defined in SNMP service properties.
Check that HP agent on server is configured with your SIM server as "trusted" (try "Trust all" for testing).
Check you have SNMP sets enable
(You can check this in System Management Homepage: Settings -> SNMP.

If you search the forum for "disk threshold falling alert", I've raised a query regarding disk threshold alerts (don't know how to attach a direct link to the forum posting). This has info on an hp customer advisory notice (ES050811_CW01) relating to threshold alerts not being generated.

I'd say though that you'd want to set your warning and reset levels to higher than zero (unless this is intentional), so that when the hoped for fix is released, the resets will occur without the disk being completely empty (i.e. zero).
