Documentation Center provides the documentation set for Storage Essentials, including the PDFs, online help, release notes, and support matrix. Figure 3 Accessing the Documentation Center To manage and monitor your elements in Storage Essentials, discover your elements in HP Systems Insight Manager or HP Storage Essentials. This product provides two types of discovery: • Discovery from HP SIM - Lets you perform all of your discovery tasks within the framework of Systems Insight Manager.
Storage Management Terms • CIM - A common data model of an implementation-neutral schema for describing overall management information in a network/enterprise environment. • Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) - An initiative based on a set of management and Internet standard technologies developed to unify the management of enterprise computing environments. • Storage Management Initiative (SMI) - A SNIA standard for implementing data storage management using CIM.
• CIM Extensions - A CIM Extension gathers information from the operating system and host bus adapters. It then makes the information available to the management server. For more information, see the following in the glossary. Refer to the Installation Guide for information on how to install the CIM Extensions. • (Optional) Module for managing Microsoft Exchange Server - Management software for Microsoft Exchange lets the administrator actively manage the data storage requirements for Microsoft Exchange.
• File System Viewer - File System Viewer does a recursive lookup on the file system and stores the information in an embedded database. File System Viewer can scan files very quickly because of its structure in the database and because it uses a multi-threaded process. More than one process can be used at a time to scan the files. Refer to the File Servers Guide for more information. • Event Manager - Event Manager lets you view, clear, sort and filter events from managed elements.
• Left pane - Displays the status light. If you are using HP the Storage Essentials workflow, you can view the buttons for the management server's utilities in the left pane. • Right pane - Displays the output of a feature, such as the topology in System Manager. About the Top Pane The menus and button in the upper-right corner of the Home page (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home) provide the following functionality.
Table 2 Status Light Settings Include infrastructure details NOTE: When the status light is orange or red, you may want to click the text to the left of the light to access discovery logs quickly (Tasks & Logs > View Storage Essentials Log). About the Left Pane The left pane displays the buttons used to access the management server's main utilities.
automators available to you depend upon your release. See ”About the Business Tools” on page 655. • Chargeback Manager - Chargeback Manager helps you manage ownership by department, track costs and assemble business reports. You can view data gathered by Chargeback Manager by element, department and enterprise-wide. You can show the data Chargeback Manager gathered to upper-management through reports, which can be e-mailed on a regular schedule.

Table 3 Icons on the Home Page (continued) Feature Reporting Description Where to Find More Information Reporting provides reports using data collected by the management server. Some of these reports give you enterprise views of your hosts, switches, storage systems or applications while others give you an at-a-glance analysis based on assets, ownerships, chargeback or performance information. ”Running Reports” on page 485 • The type of license you have.
This executable installs the Sun JRE on your computer. The Java plug-in for your Web browser is available in the following file: $JRE_HOME/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so where $JRE_HOME is the directory containing the JRE installation. 3. Set the executable permission of the downloaded file: chmod +x downloaded_file_name 4. In a terminal window, go to the $HOME/.mozilla/plugins directory. Create a plugins directory if it does not exist. 5.
• For customers to receive a trusted certificate, they need to purchase a certificate from a trusted entity (most browsers have trust relationships set up for Verisign, Entrust, and Thawte, among others.) with the Common Name (CN) set to the name of their management server. Also note that the Common Name in the certificate must match the name in the URL. Installing the Certificate by Using Microsoft Explorer 6.0 1.
where machinename is the name of the management server. 2. When the security alert message appears, click the Accept this certificate permanently radio button. 3. Click OK.
3. To delete the original certificate, enter the following at the command prompt: perl generateAppIQKeyStore.pl del The original certificate is deleted. NOTE: If you see an error message when you enter this command, a previous certificate may not have been created. You can ignore the error message. 4. To create a new certificate containing the DNS name of the management server, enter the following at the command prompt: perl generateAppIQKeyStore.pl 5.
4. Enter the following at the command prompt for the status of the management server: /etc/init.
2 Discovering NAS Devices, Tape Libraries, Switches and Storage Systems Before you can use the management server, you must make the software aware of the elements on your network. An element is anything on the network that can be detected by the management server, such as a switch. This is done through the discovery process. Discovery obtains a list of discovered elements and information about their management interface and dependencies.

HP SIM. Credentials are passed from HP SIM to HP SE, so if you perform Discovery from HP SIM, the user names and passwords for discovering those elements appear in HP SE. • Multiple entries in SE may result when modifying username and password in HP SIM - If you use Discovery from HP SIM, the user name and passwords for those elements are forwarded HP SE. If you modify a user name for an element in Discovery from HP SIM, the modification is passed to HP SE as a new discovery entry for that element.
Selective Discovery Filter The Selective Discovery Filter provides the capability to selectively filter the devices that are passed from HP SIM to HP SE for discovery operations. The filter is a file created by the user that contains a list of the IP addresses that should (or should not) be passed to HP SE. The filter does not impact the device discovery operations within HP SIM. It only restricts the data that is sent from HP SIM to HP SE.
IMPORTANT: Because of subtle differences between discovery from HP SIM and HP SE, HP strongly recommends you do either all of your discovery steps in HP SIM or HP SE. See ”Differences Between HP SE and HP SIM Discovery” on page 18 for more information about the differences between HP SIM and HP SE discovery. Discovery from HP SIM Steps Discovery of switches, storage systems, NAS devices and tape libraries consists of several steps: 1. Discover your switches by using HP Systems Insight Manager.
• After you discover an EMC Connectrix or McDATA switch, the IP address displayed next to the name of the switch is actually the IP address of the service processor for the switch in the Get Details/Discovery Data Collection screens. To find the IP address of the switch, click the link for the switch in one of the following screens: • Run Discovery Data Collection screen (Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Run Discovery Data Collection) for Discovery from HP SIM.
running Windows, this can be determined by looking in the Services window. EMC Solutions Enabler version 5.1 requires additional steps for discovery. See ”Discovering EMC Solutions Enabler 5.1” on page 65 for more information. NOTE: Before performing any provisioning operations that involve a Brocade switch you must perform Discovery Step 3 for any subset of elements that includes this Brocade switch.

connected through a switch and storage system. When you Get Details/Discovery Data Collection for Discovery Group 1, you also obtain details from the switch and storage system. • If the management server unable to obtain information from a UNIX host during Get Details/Discovery Data Collection as a result of a CIM Extension hanging, the management server places the access point where the CIM Extension is located in quarantine.
Then, set up the configurations for your applications on the management server. Some applications may require you to provide additional discovery information about the application. Finally, perform discovery and then obtain Get Details/Discovery Data Collection. Get Details and Discovery Data Collection takes some time. Perform this step when the network is not busy. More details about the steps mentioned above are provided later.
entering the following at the command prompt: lsnrctl status. If the listener is not running you can start it by typing lsnrctl start on command line. • Make sure you have all the necessary information before you begin the installation. Read through the following steps before you begin. To create the Oracle user for management server: 1.
Keep in mind the following: • Before you remove the APPIQ_USER account for an Oracle instance, make sure no processes are running APPIQ_USER for that Oracle instance. The management server uses APPIQ_USER to obtain information about the Oracle database. For example, a process would be using APPIQ_USER if someone was using Performance Manager to view monitoring statistics about that Oracle instance.
• Discovery from HP SIM - Select Options > Protocol Settings > Storage Essentials > Global Application Discovery Settings. The TNS Listener Port setting applies to all Oracle instances you monitor. 2. To assign a new port, click the Create button for the Oracle Information table. 3.

In the Server Name field, type the Oracle System Identifier (SID) of the Oracle database you want to monitor. e. In the Port Number field, type the monitored port. If you are not sure of the monitored port, check the listener.ora file of the monitored database application. You can find the listener.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Microsoft SQL server database is in “Mixed Mode authentication.” To switch to mixed mode authentication, see ”Switching to Mixed Mode Authentication” on page 128. Switching to Mixed Mode Authentication IMPORTANT: Do not make security changes to your Microsoft SQL Server installation unless you are familiar with the security requirements of your site. Microsoft SQL Server must be running in Mixed Mode Authentication. You can switch to Mixed Mode Authentication as follows: 1.
IMPORTANT: You must complete the following steps. 2. Verify you have the password to the SA user account. You are prompted for the password for this user account when you run the script. 3. Run the CreateSQLServerAct.bat script on Microsoft Windows on the computer with the SQL Server database. The script creates a user with login to master and select privilege on data dictionary tables on a managed SQL Server instance. NOTE: You can use a remote SQL Server isql to run this script. 4.
IMPORTANT: You must provide the host name in the Host IP/DNS Name field. You cannot use localhost or parenthesis. If you have name resolutions issues, your server may be discovered; however, your applications will not be discovered. You can addressed the name resolution issues by adding entries within the hosts file on the management server for the systems in question.
• Host IP/DNS Name: 192.168.2.10 • Database Server: SQLTEST • Port Number: 1433 • Database Type: SQLSERVER 6. In the Port Number field, type the port that SQL is using. If you do not provide a port number, the management server assumes the SQL server is using port 1433 (default). To determine the correct SQL Port Number that the SQL Server is using, follow these steps: a. Open SQL Server Enterprise Manager. b.
5. Type the password for the server administrator account. The account for APPIQ_USER is removed. The management server can no longer monitor the SQL Server databases on this host. Deleting SQL Server Information If you do not want the management server to monitor a SQL Server instance, you can remove its information, as described in the following steps: 1. Do one of the following: • Discovery from HP SE - Select Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Setup.
UNIX on the computer running the Sybase database you want to monitor. The account has create session and select dictionary privileges to be used with the management server. Keep in mind the following: • The script must run under SA user. • Obtain the Sybase server name before you run the script • Create APPIQ_USER account on Sybase Database you want to monitor. • You should have already installed the database for the management server.
Removing the APPIQ_USER Account for Sybase IMPORTANT: Before you remove the APPIQ_USER account for the Sybase databases on a host, make sure no processes are running APPIQ_USER for that Sybase database. The management server uses APPIQ_USER to obtain information about a Sybase database. (Discovery from HP SE) One of the ways to make sure APPIQ_USER is not being used is to temporarily remove the host running Sybase (Discovery > Topology).
desktop. Refer to the documentation for HP Systems Insight Manager. Select a target, and then, click Run Now. 2. Click the Create button for the Database Information table. 3.

• Discover the application. Adding Microsoft Exchange Domain Controller Access To obtain information about your Microsoft Exchange servers, you must provide the user name and password for at least a primary domain controller, in addition to a DNS name, as described in the following steps. IMPORTANT: The hosts should recognize the management server by name, as a reverse look-up is required by operating system security as well as Microsoft Exchange.
• Discovery from HP SE - Select Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Setup. Then, click the Applications tab. • Discovery from HP SIM - Select Options > Protocol Settings > Storage Essentials > Global Application Discovery Settings. 2. Click the button, corresponding to the domain controller you want to remove. 3. Perform Get Details/Discovery Data Collection for your changes to take effect.
Discovery is complete when the software displays the DISCOVERY COMPLETED message in the Log Messages field. Keep in mind the following: • If DNS records for your Microsoft Exchange Servers are outdated or missing, the discovery of Microsoft Exchange may fail because Microsoft Exchange is dependant on Active Directory, which is dependant on DNS. Since Active Directory is dependant on DNS, Active Directory replication and Active Directory lookups may fail or contain errors if DNS records are not accurate.
• Discovery Data Collection/Get Details takes some time. You might want to perform this process when the network and the managed elements are not busy. • During Get Details/Discovery Data Collection the topology in System Manager is recalculated. While the topology is being recalculated, the loading of the user interface in Storage Essentials may be slow. It may also take more time to log into the management server during a topology recalculation.
IMPORTANT: If the management server cannot communicate with an application, it labels the application as “Discovered”. The management server could find the application, but it could not obtain additional information about it. 4.

Using Active Directory/LDAP for Authentication The management server supports external authentication through Active Directory (AD) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory services. When you configure the management server to use external authentication, user credentials are no longer stored in the management server database.
1. Before switching to Active Directory (AD) authentication mode, the management server needs to be configured with a designated Active Directory user and other AD specific credentials. At startup, the designated Active Directory user is mapped to the built-in “admin” user and overrides it with the Active Directory user information. IMPORTANT: Make sure the administrator account has already been created in Active Directory before you add it to the login-handler.xml file. a.
where • 192.168.10.1 is the IP address of the primary Domain Controller server running Active Directory. • 389 is the port on which Active Directory is running on the server. 6. Replace directory2.hp.com with the IP address or the fully qualified DNS name of your secondary Domain Controller server, if available. 192.168.10.2 where 192.168.10.2 is the IP address of the secondary Domain Controller server running Active Directory. 7.
com.appiq.security.server.
When you are done with your changes, the login-handler.xml file, may resemble the following: domain\primaryuser com.appiq.security.server.
NOTE: If you want to go back and forth between internal and external (AD/LDAP) authentication, rename the login-handler.xml file before you modify it. This way you can easily switch back to internal authentication by changing the file name back to login-handler.xml. b. In the login-handler.
The login-handler.xml file contains two sets of tags: one for Active Directory and one for LDAP. Make sure you change the value of the tags that are children of the tags. 8. Provide the LDAP search base in which you want the management server to look up AD/LDAP user attributes. Allow no spaces between commas and put in all components of fully qualified domain name, for example, hds.usa.com would be DC=hds,DC=usa,DC=com.
com.appiq.security.server.LdapLoginHandler LDAP IP address or DNS name of LDAP server
