HP OneView for Microsoft System Center Enclosure Monitor Manager operational and usage issues

Page 50

State icon or alert state appears gray

Operations Manager displays a green check to indicate a healthy state, a yellow exclamation point to indicate a warning, and a red X to indicate an error. When one of these icons appears gray instead of its normal color, the managed server where the monitor service is running has lost connection with Operations Manager. To verify that the network connection is working:

1.Select AdministrationAgent Managed and right-click the target system where the monitor service is running.

2.Click Repair.

3.Follow the instructions to reset the server status.

A fan or power supply icon appears when no fan or power supply is installed in the bay slot

If a bay slot is empty, but a fan or a power supply is needed in the bay slot to maintain enclosure total health, a red or yellow fan or power supply icon appears on the Diagram and State views. After you make a configuration change to the enclosure, the Diagram and State views might not reflect the state change for up to one hour. The properties of the fan of an empty bay slot fan or power supply does not display the proper information other than the bay number.

Active Alert view displays only one alert when there are multiple device state changes

The event processing rules of this management pack are designed to consolidate similar events and to not repeat issues. The consolidated status appears by enabling the Repeat Count property in the Active Alerts view settings. If events are consolidated, the Alert Description in the Alert Details pane shows the first event that was generated only. To view the most recent similar alert, click View additional knowledge... from the Alert Details pane and select the Alert Context tab on the Alert Properties screen.

Management console displays the same enclosure multiple times

If an enclosure is registered to multiple monitor services, the management console might display the same enclosure multiple times. Register different enclosures under different monitor services to fix this issue.

Management console does not display alerts in the Active Alert view window when opened from the Enclosure State view

State view does not always map to alerts, and the Active Alert view window might be empty. This is according to the design of most Microsoft management packs and the HP BladeSystem Management Pack.

Health Explorer does not display Knowledge information for computers and certain Windows components

Knowledge bases are components of Microsoft Management Pack and display limited or no information.

HP Custom Data Manager cannot be used in the HP BladeSystem Management Pack

Although the HP Custom Data Manager (CDM) is accessible from the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Group on the Diagram and State views, CDM only supports servers for custom data management.
