HP® StorageWorks™ HSV SNMP Intelligent Event Module™

Intelligent Event Module Basics

The HP StorageWorks HSV SNMP Intelligent Event Module (IEM) enables you to automate real-time monitoring of HP® StorageWorks™ HSV SNMP and capture the critical information you need for effective enterprise management.

Note: You must obtain a license for the HP StorageWorks HSV SNMP IEM prior to using the module. To obtain the license, contact your TDi sales representative (sales@tditx.com).

Events

The HP StorageWorks HSV SNMP IEM provides ConsoleWorks® with a watch-list of all the text messages, including error codes, system warnings, and status alerts, produced by unsolicited SNMP traps sent from StorageWorks HSV controllers. ConsoleWorks uses these messages, called Events, as the targets that it scans for in the data streams of your managed devices.

When ConsoleWorks detects an Event, it alerts you to the Event as it is happening, records the circumstances surrounding the Event, and automatically performs the default or customer-configured responses associated with that Event.

Scans

IEMs come with Events pre-arranged in logical groupings, called Scans™. Working with a Scan—or a combination of Scans—instead of hundreds of individual Events simplifies managing Events across your enterprise.

Using the HP StorageWorks HSV SNMP IEM

To use this IEM, download it from the TDi web site, import it into ConsoleWorks, and then associate Scans from the IEM with a StorageWorks HSV controller.

When you associate Scans with a controller, you are specifying that ConsoleWorks monitor the data streams of this controller for the Events contained in those Scans.

Associate the Scans

Associate the Scans with controllers you want ConsoleWorks to monitor. ConsoleWorks offers you the following options for associating Scans:

•Associate individual Scans with one or more controllers.
•Associate multiple Scans with one or more controllers.

•Create a Scan containing only the Events you want monitored and associate this customized Scan with one or more controllers.

Note: While you can associate any Scan with any application, system, or device, only associate a Scan with the application, system, or device appropriate for that Scan. For instance, associate only Cisco Scans with Cisco switches and McData Scans with McData switches.

For detailed instructions on associating Scans, please refer to the ConsoleWorks Admin/User Guide.
