HP B6960-96035 manual Integration with HP Operations Manager software, Snmp traps, Monitor

Integration with HP Operations Manager software

Functionality of the Data Protector OM integration

Data Protector integrates with HP Operations Manager software (OM). OM simplifies management of large networks by allowing the operator to monitor and administer the network and the applications from a single point. Once Data Protector is integrated in the OM environment, the network administrator can immediately see if anything is wrong during backup and react upon the information given. Data Protector messages can be displayed in the OM message window.

Functionality of the Data Protector Operations Manager Windows

The Data Protector Operations Manager on Windows (OMW) provides the following functionality:

•Data Protector writes all major and critical messages that occur during backup, restore or any other operation to the Windows Event Log. Operations Manager Windows (OMW) then uses these events and forwards them to the OMW console, so that an operator can react to them.

•Service monitoring

OMW monitors all Data Protector services running on the Cell Manager as well as any Data Protector client system. In case of failure of any of these services, OMW immediately alerts the operator. OMW can also be configured in such a way that it automatically attempts to restart the failed service.

SNMP traps

SNMP traps allow a Service Management application to receive and process an SNMP trap message when a Data Protector event occurs or when an SNMP trap is sent as a result of Data Protector’s checking and maintenance mechanism. For more information on Data Protector on configuring SNMP traps, see the online Help index: “SNMP, reports send methods“.

The monitor

The Data Protector monitor is a part of the Data Protector user interface and allows you to supervise and to take corrective action on currently running backup, restore, and media management sessions. Monitoring lets you view all sessions in a cell and shows you detailed messages and the current status of these sessions. In a multi-cell environment, you can view the sessions that run on computer systems in other cells.
