Hp Openview Integration; Disk Array Events - HP Surestore Disk Array 12h - And FC60 System Administrator Manual

HP OpenView Integration

An OpenView client for AutoRAID is included with the AutoRAID Manager software, enabling full
integration with HP OpenView. This allows you to manage the SureStore E Disk Arrays on your network
from an OpenView console. If OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) is detected on the client during
installation of the AutoRAID software, the OpenView client for AutoRAID will be installed.
The OpenView client for AutoRAID communicates with the AutoRAID Manager SNMP agent running on
the server. Changes to AutoRAID status are immediately communicated to the client which updates the
AutoRAID icon status indicators.
SureStore E Disk Arrays are managed from OpenView in the same manner as other network resources. The
following tips identify ways in which you can use OpenView to manage your disk array most efficiently.
AutoRAID Manager can be launched by double-clicking an AutoRAID disk array icon on an
OpenView submap. The AutoRAID manager will open, displaying the status window for the disk array
icon that was clicked.
The AutoRAID OpenView client requires that ARMServer and the AutoRAID SNMP agent both be
running on the server
At OpenView initialization, the client discovers all AutoRAID disk arrays connected to NT systems,
then adds the associated AutoRAID icons to the server submaps.
The disk array submap layout is updated automatically once a day to reflect the addition or deletion of
devices. The submap layout is also updated manually if a server rescan is performed.
The SNMP configuration parameters used for each SNMP session opened by the OpenView Client for
AutoRAID can be set from the OpenView console.

Disk Array Events

Disk array events are logged to the NT Event Log by default. If SNMP is installed on the server, the events
can be passed to network management applications such as HP OpenView using the AutoRAID Manager
SNMP agent. The AutoRAID SNMP agent is installed during setup if SNMP is detected on the server.
All disk array events are listed in the online Help for AutoRAID Manager. In addition, an ASCII text file of
all the events message strings is included in the Program Files/AutoRAID/Doc folder (default
location). This file may be useful in creating filters and templates for network management applications.
