Executive summary

Many businesses today face similar infrastructure challengesunder-utilized server and storage

capacity, a great deal of time and money spent on managing the infrastructure, and a relentless

demand to meet changing business needs. And with each passing year, the costs associated with

the management of the server and storage infrastructure take a larger chunk out of the data

center budget.

This white paper describes the integration of HP SIM with HP CV EVA. Key benefits of a unified

server and storage management infrastructure follow:

Provides a central point of integration to simplify and consolidate management of the entire

server and storage infrastructure. It also reduces deployment time and costs, and facilitates

collaboration between traditional islands of server and storage management.

Provides centralized event notifications in HP SIM for servers and storage. This is especially

beneficial when there are multiple CV EVA servers in the environment. You can simplify andimprove response times when managing server-storage infrastructure alerts.

Provides more detailed information about EVA events through Insight Remote Support, ideal

for both small and large environments that need to integrate remote support capabilities

with a centralized management platform. It also provides faster notification and subsequent

resolution of server and storage system events in your network.

Provides a high-level summary of storage utilization for EVA.

The reader should be familiar with HP SIM and HP CV EVA, as well as the HP service tools, such as

Insight Remote Support and WEBES.

Centralizing eventnotifications

HP SIM can receive events by using SNMP or WBEM.

SNMP

1. In HP CV EVA, configure the following under System Options:

SNMP event notification: Select all events or specified events to be notified, and save the

changes.

SNMP host notification: Add the IP address of the HP SIM server, and save the changes.

2.

Ensure that SNMP services are running on both the HP SIM and HP CV EVA servers. You canuse Windows Service Manager to check for SNMP services that include SNMP Service and

SNMP Trap Service. If you do not find these two components in Windows Service Manager, go

to Windows Control PanelAdd or Remove Programs, and click Add/Remove Windows

Components. In the Windows Component Wizard that appears, select Management and

Monitoring Toolsand install it. If HP SIM and HP CV EVA reside on a single server, check for

SNMP services only on that server.

3.

In Command View, go to System OptionsConfigure SNMP/event log notificationConfigure

events for SNMP/event log notification. Click Get MIBto download and save the MIB files for

the required EVA types. The MIB file is saved with a .mib.idiextension. Remove the .idi

extension, and then save the file with only the .mibextension. SeeFigure 5.

Figure 5: Locating the MIB file in HP CV EVA

4. Copy the saved MIB file to the following location on the HP SIM server:

C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\mibs\


14/40


14 | March 2013

5.

Open a command window on the HP SIM server, and then enter the following path:

C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\mibs

6.

Execute the mcompile command (for example, mcompile

eva6400.mib).

The system generates a .cfgfile (eva6400.cfgin this example) and displays the

following output in the command window (Figure 6):

Figure 6: Compiling the MIBs in HP SIM

7. Execute the command mxmib -a (for example, mxmib a

evapamib.cfg). This registers the new CFG, , or replaces the data of a

previously registered MIB.

The following sections explain how to set up HP SIM and WEBES to monitor the array.

Remote Support Advanced (RSA)

First, you must set up the Command View Protocol credentials in the WEBES UI. This enables the

correct ELMC protocol to be selected when WEBES discovers the array and ABM.

The ABM firmware does not include SNMP or WBEM agents to support HP SIM communication for

retrieval of hardware information. Therefore, certain fields must be set manually. The HP SIMSystem and Entitlement information is tightly coupled with the WEBES Managed Entity

information.

WEBES detects the presence of HP SIM. Then, it populates the Managed Entity information based

on what is defined in HP SIM for newly added systems or changes made to existing systems. For

more information about WEBES, IRSS, and IRSA, see the manuals available on the following

webpages:

http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/svctools/webes/index.html

http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/insight-remote-

support/index.html

http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/insight-remote-

support/supportpack/index.html

The synchronization of this information causes the entity discovered by WEBES to be left in an

incomplete and unrecoverable state if any of the required fields are missing. You may have to

delete the Managed Entity from the WEBES UI and rediscover it after all required information is

entered in HP SIM. To trigger rediscovery, stop and restart the DESTA service.

To set up the EVA 4400 and ABM in HP SIM:

1.

Discover the EVA 4400 array (managed by ABM) in HP SIM by performing a discovery to the

server running SMI-S that has been set up to connect to the ABM by using

discoverer.bat, or an SMS running SMI-S and managing the array. (SeeConfigure HP

SIM and HP CV EVA on a single serverfor information about using discoverer.batto set

up SMI-S to connect to ABM.)

2.

Edit the System Propertiesin HP SIM for the discovered EVA array, including theContract and

Warranty information, Site Name, and Primary Contact. These fields are required for HP SIM

to present this entitlement data to the WEBES Managed Entity. TheCustomer-Entered Serial

Numberand Customer-Entered Product Numbersettings are not required for the EVA 4400

array because WEBES retrieves this information from the array for the EVA Managed Entity.

3.

In HP SIM, discover the ABM by providing the IP address of the ABM module, and set the

System Nameto be the fully qualified domain name for the ABM. This is required for the

WEBES Managed Entity to correctly detect and add the ABM as a connection for the EVA.

4.

Edit the System Propertiesin HP SIM for the discovered ABM. This is a placeholder in the HP

SIM System List, but there are fields required for WEBES to create a Managed Entity and pass

the RSE list check. Complete the following fields:

o System type= Storage Device

o System subtype = Storage

o Product model= EVA ABM

InFigure 10,EVAis required in the Product modeland Hardware descriptionfields for the RSE

check. ABM is included in this example as a way to differentiate between the ABM and the array in

the HP SIM UI.

Figure 10: ABM Module System PropertiesSection 1

InFigure 10,the Hardware description field has also been populated for the ABM. This is not

required, but it is a convenient location to add information presented in the HP SIM UI.

Entitlement Information:

o Customer-Entered Serial Number

o Customer-Entered Product Number

To obtain this information, select Command View UIrr y n meHardwareController

Enclosure.

The following fields are required for WEBES to set up the ABM Entity correctly:

Site name

Primary customer contact

The WEBES Managed Entity UI should now display the EVA 4400 array and the ABM module.

Remote Support Standard (RSS)

WEBES cannot obtain the entitlement information from HP SIM because it is not installed on the

RSS. The Managed Entity information is entered manually using the WEBES Managed Entity UI.

To add the EVA 4400 array:

1.

Add the ABM module to the WEBES Managed Entity UI using the fully qualified domain name.

The orange-bar status indicates that the ABM entity requires information. SeeFigure 12.

Figure 12: WEBES Managed EntityStep 1

2. When you select the ABM entity name, the Entitlement Serial Numberand Entitlement

Product Numberfields are displayed. SeeFigure 13.

Figure 13: WEBES Managed EntityStep 2

3.

Add the information required for the ABM entity in the Entitlement Serial Numberand

Entitlement Product Numberfields.


19/40


19 | March 2013

These fields are required for WEBES to set up the ABM entity correctly. The information

can be obtained through Command View UIrr y n meHardwareController

Enclosure. SeeFigure 14.

Figure 14: Controller e nclosure information

After the required information is added and saved, WEBES connects to the ABM module and

discovers the EVA 4400.

The Managed Entity information for the EVA 4400 array, including the serial number and model

number, has been completed by the WEBES discovery of the array, along with the WWN, UUID, and

path to the array. SeeFigure 15.

21 | March 2013

Sample WBEM events

Each WBEM event name on the Event Detailspage is prefaced by WBEM. SeeFigure 18.

Figure 18: WBEM events

Using WEBES instead of SNMP is advantageous because WEBES provides a higher-quality event as

an alert indication. If WEBES is configured to send Type 3 traps, the SMI-S provider includes event

severities in alert indications sent to HP SIM.

Configuring a trustrelationship for HP SIM in HPCV EVA

Currently, the SSO feature is disabled for HP CV EVA in HP SIM. However, the following procedure

explains how to configure SSO in HP SIM for HP CV EVA. This feature is enabled in HP SIM 6.0 and

HP CV EVA 9.2.

Adding a trust relationship enables you to automatically log in to HP CV EVA from HP SIM. This

feature is sometimes called SSO. HP CV EVA imports a certificate from a trusted source, such as

HP SIM. Users who are authenticated by HP SIM are then allowed to automatically authenticate by

using HP CV EVA without logging in again.

If you prefer to have HP CV EVA users log in each time, do not create the trust relationship. Click

Uninstall Certificatesto remove the trust relationship and require each user to log in to HP CV EVA.

1.

Launch HP CV EVA. Go to Server Options, and then click SIM/RSM trust relationships.See

Figure 21.

Configuring HP CV EVA andHP SIM on a single server

Port settings

The default port assignment of 5989 for WBEM/WMI and SMI-S has created an issue for several

versions. The following sections describe the changes that address the port-assignment issue and

provide a solution for setting up HP SIM with Command View SMI-S on the same server.

The installation sequence for HP SIM and Command View SMI-S on a CMS affects the default port

settings. The current Best Practices suggestion is to install HP SIM first and allow the WMI Mapper

to use the default port 5989. The subsequent Command View installation can detect if port 5989

is in use, and can redirect to a different port.

To obtain a snapshot of the customer environment for the currently assigned ports, in a commandwindow, execute the following command:

C:\ netstat -anb >netstat.txt

Configuring HP SIM

This section describes how to install HP SIM for the first time. It also explains how to correct an

existing HP SIM installation.

Installing HP SIM for the first time

When installing HP SIM for the first time, the First Time Wizard includes a step to configureWBEM/WMI Mapper Proxy. SeeFigure 25.

Figure 25: WBEM/WMI Mapper ProxyFirst Time Wizard

Keep the default setting of port 5989. After you complete the installation of HP SIM, add the port

that Command View SMI-S will use to the .xmlfile shown in step 1 of the following procedure.


28/40


28 | March 2013

Follow these steps to identify the port that HP SIM will use to connect to SMI-S. In this example,

port 60000 is used for the SMI-S HTTPS connection to the interopnamespace.

1.

Open the following file:

C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight

Manager\config\identification\wbemportlist.xml

2.

Add the following lines of text to the end of the file:

The following example shows the complete file after you add the port for SMI-S:


29/40


29 | March 2013

3.

Save the changes.

4. Restart the HP SIM service.

Correcting an existing HP SIM installation

Important: Do not use the following procedure if this is a first-time installation of HP SIM. Use this

procedure only if HP SIM has already been installed and the WMI Mapper port has been changed to

something (for example, 6989) other than the default (5989).

To restore the WMI Mapper port to the default port:

1.

Stop the Pegasus WMI Mapper service.

2.


C:\Program Files\The Open Group\WMI Mapper\cimserver_planned.conf

3.

In the line that includes httpsPort=6989, change the port number to 5989.

The port number may have already been set to something other than 6989; it is used here as

an example only.

4. Save the file.

5. Restart the Pegasus WMI Mapper service.

6.

Execute the netstatcommand, and verify that the change has been made.

Note: The changes made in the cimserver_planned.conffile will be applied to the

cimserver_current.conffile after the service is restarted.

An example of a cimserver_planned.conffile follows:

enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=true

enableHttpsConnection=true

enableHttpConnection=false

sslCertificateFilePath=C:\hp\sslshare\cert.pem

sslKeyFilePath=C:\hp\sslshare\file.pem

httpsPort=5989

Troubleshooting SIM connectivity to Command View SMI-S

If the discovery process fails to find the Command View server and gather information about the

EVAs, you can use the WBEMDISCO tool to determine if the SMI-S provider is responding and that

the credentials are correct. WBEMDISCO is installed automatically by SIM.

Using WBEMDISCO

WBEMDISCO is packaged with HP SIM. To use WBEMDISCO:

1. Open a command window.

2.

Enter the following path:

C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager

On a 64-bit version of Windows, the path is as follows:

C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Systems Insight Manager

3. Execute WBEMDISCO.CMDfrom the command line.


32/40


32 | March 2013

The following dialog box appears:

4.

In theProfile Namefield, enter a name for the profile (optional).

5. Specify the IP address of the server on which SMI-S is installed, and the port (either HTTP or

HTTPS) on which SMI-S is running.

6.

Specify the root namespace for CXWS CIMOM (interop) and the SMI-S user name and

password credentials.

7.

Click Run.


33/40


33 | March 2013

After WBEMDISCO has finished checking the SMI-S provider response and credentials, the

following output is displayed, listing the discovered EVAs:

If the credentials are not correct, WBEMDISCO displays a message similar to the following:

If this occurs, verify that the HP Storage Admins group on the CV EVA server contains the specified

4.

Save the changes.

5. Restart the HP SIM service.

6. Select OptionsIdentify Systems. Re-identify all WBEM/WMI systems in HP SIM to

correct the port reference.

HP CV EVA

The HP CV EVA installation kit includes SMI-S as a component. At installation time, SMI-S assigns

the following as default ports if they are available:

HTTP port=5988

HTTPS port=5989

If one or both of these ports are in use, a screen appears on which you can change the port

numbers. The SMI-S installer suggests port 60000 if that port is not in use. SMI-S retains port

5988 if it does not conflict with another port number. SMI-S uses these ports when the HP CIMOM

process starts.

Note: This screen appears only if a port conflict is detected, which is why HP recommends

installing HP SIM before installing Command View.

Command View on the EVA 4400

The SMI-S provider cannot be installed on the ABM. SMI-S must be installed elsewhere in the LAN

to serve as a proxy connection to the array.

The Command View installation kit enables SMI-S to be installed on a server independently. SMI-S

can be installed on the HP SIM CMS or any other server in the LAN.

SMI-S includes a utility named discoverer.batfor setting up the connection to the array ABM

This allows SMI-S to pass connection requests to the array by having the IP address and

credentials for the target ABM. To invoke this procedure, double-click the following file:

C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-

S\EVAProvider\bin\discoverer.bat

A command window opens. SeeFigure 29.

The first line of text showshttp://localhost:5988defined as the default path to where SMI-S is

running. This HTTP port may have been changed if it was operating on the CMS, as described in

Port settings.

The second and third lines require the credentials of the account that was set up for HP StorageGroup access. After you enter the credentials, the menu is displayed. SeeFigure 29.
