5 1 Monitoring FibreCAT CX systems with ServerView Operations Manager FibreCAT CX is an extensive Fibre Channel storage system that can be used both as a directly connected system and in Storage Area Network (SAN) environments. The advanced software functions permit uninterrupted operation with the very highest levels of availability and at the same time offer disaster protection. FibreCAT CX is versatile and can be deployed flexibly in distributed, multivendor environments and in computer centers. Upgrading capacity is a simple operation that can be performed online. The ServerView Operations Manager (referred to simply as the Operations Manager below) allows you to monitor FibreCAT CX storage subsystems (referred to simply as FibreCAT CX below) and to query detailed information on the individual FibreCAT CX systems. This document describes the preparations required to monitor FibreCAT CX systems with the Operations Manager: see Preparing for FibreCAT CX monitoring. how to use the Operations Manager to monitor FibreCAT CX systems and query detailed information on the FibreCAT CX systems: see Monitoring FibreCAT CX systems with the Operations Manager.

9 Monitoring with the Operations Manager... preparations Activities after installation After you have successfully installed the software, proceed as follows: 1. Refer to the README files for EMC SMI-S Provider and ServerView Storage Manager (StorMan) for information on any last-minute changes to these products. 2. Modify the configuration of the SMI-S Provider: a) In the configuration file.\emc\symcli\storbin\emcprovider.conf for the SMI-S Provider, change the line OslProv/com.emc.se.osls.osl.StorApi.database.discover = true to OslProv/com.emc.se.osls.osl.StorApi.database.discover = false I By default, the configuration file is located under: C:\Program Files. b) Restart the service CIM Object Manager - EMC_SMI_Provider to activate the modified configuration. 3. Ensure that the StorMan Service is started, since you will need to use Storage Manager (StorMan) commands in the following steps. 4. Add the name or the IP address of the server on which the EMC SMI-S Provider is running to the Storage Manager (StorMan) database: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\StorMan\bin> storcfg cimom -add -name <name> bzw. C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\StorMan\bin> storcfg cimom -add -ip <ip> There are two different ways of proceeding from here: See The SMI-S Provider is connected to FibreCAT CX via Fibre Channel. See The SMI-S Provider is connected to FibreCAT CX via an IP connection. FibreCAT CX 9

10 ... preparations Monitoring with the Operations Manager The SMI-S Provider is connected to FibreCAT CX via Fibre Channel Proceed as follows: 1. Ensure that at least one LUN (virtual hard disk) is assigned to the server. 2. Check whether the SMI-S Provider has been started: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\StorMan\bin> storcfg cimom -show 3. Start detection of the FibreCAT CX systems connected via Fibre Channel in the CIM server: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\StorMan\bin> storcfg cimom -showr 4. Check whether the CIM server has detected the FibreCAT CX system connected via Fibre Channel: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\StorMan\bin> storcfg system -show I Start detection of any FibreCAT systems added subsequently in the CIM server as follows: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\StorMan\bin> storcfg cimom -discover 10 FibreCAT CX

11 Monitoring with the Operations Manager... preparations The SMI-S Provider is connected to FibreCAT CX via an IP connection Proceed as follows: 1. Check whether the SMI-S Provider has been started: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\StorMan\bin> storcfg cimom -show 2. Add the storage processors (SPs) of the FibreCAT CX system to the repository of the SMI-S Provider: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\StorMan\bin> storemc -hostname <SMI-S Server> -add -sp <SPA>,<SPB> -cxuser <user> -cxpwd <pwd> I For -hostname, you must specify the same name in the storemc command as you specified in the storcfg cimom command ), in other words the server on which the EMC SMI-S Provider is installed. (see Activities after installation, step 4). 3. Check whether the CIM server has detected the FibreCAT CX system: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\StorMan\bin> storcfg system -show I Add its storage processors to the repository of the SMI-S Provider to allow the CIM server to detect any further FibreCAT CX systems. This is done in the same way as described under step 2. FibreCAT CX 11

12 Server list Monitoring with the Operations Manager 1.2 Monitoring FibreCAT CX systems with the Operations Manager With FibreCAT CX systems, the ServerView Storage Manager (StorMan) software provides the necessary information to the ServerView Operations Manager to allow the information to be displayed in ServerView. A special storage subsystem icon indicates FibreCAT CX systems in the server list Integrating FibreCAT CX in ServerView alarm management In order to allow SNMP traps from the FibreCAT CX system to be passed to the Operations Manager, you must configure the Event Monitor using the Navisphere software. I You can specify what events are forwarded by specifying the error severity/error category. It is even possible to select individual events. 12 FibreCAT CX

13 Monitoring with the Operations Manager Server list Showing FibreCAT CX systems in the Operations Manager server list This completes all preparations for monitoring FibreCAT CX systems using the ServerView Operations Manager. To add a FibreCAT CX system to the server list, add both storage processors for this system to the server list: 1. Open the Server Browser window in the Operations Manager. 2.
