1 Management Pack operations The HP PolyServe Management Pack integrates with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007. The Management Pack reports state information and any outstanding Alert messages for HP PolyServe objects. The monitored HP PolyServe objects include clusters and the individual servers and monitors within each cluster. HP PolyServe filesystem attributes are also reported but the health of the filesystems is not monitored.
When the Import Management Packs window appears, click Import to complete the installation.
The HP PolyServe Management Pack does not immediately appear in the list of Management Packs on the Operations Manager 2007 console. Click Refresh to update the display. This step may take a few minutes. Configure Operations Manager 2007 for the Management Pack To enable the Management Pack to monitor HP PolyServe clusters, you will need to take these steps: • Set the Agent Proxy for each server in each cluster. • Assign the appropriate user account for accessing the HP PolyServe clusters.
Set the Agent Proxy The HP PolyServe objects (clusters, servers, monitors, and filesystems) are discovered on the cluster nodes instead of the Operations Manager 2007 server. To enable this discovery method, open the Administration Pane on the Operations Manager 2007 console and select Agent Managed. Locate the entry for a server in the HP PolyServe cluster, right-click, and select Properties.
You will need to set the Agent Proxy on each server in the cluster. NOTE: If the discovery does not work within several minutes, restart the OpsMgr Health Service service on the cluster nodes to be monitored. Configure “Run As” account When accessing an HP PolyServe cluster, the Management Pack must run as an account with rights to read the cluster. The Local System account on each cluster node has read permission and should be adequate for this purpose.
If necessary, change the Run As account to an account that has read permission on the cluster. Monitor HP PolyServe clusters The HP PolyServe Management Pack provides several objects that can be monitored on the Operations Manager 2007 console. The objects correspond to cluster hardware components such as servers and networks and to HP PolyServe Software components such as filesystems, virtual hosts, and service and device monitors. The status reported is typically whether the component is up or down.
Object Description PolyServe Filesystem Reports status for PolyServe filesystems, including mount points/drive letters, filesystem size, and disk usage PolyServe Managed Objects A group associated with all PolyServe Managed objects PolyServe Matrix File Share Reports status for Matrix File Shares PolyServe Matrix Virtual File Share Reports status for Virtual File Share monitors PolyServe Network Interface Reports current state and configuration for all network interfaces PolyServe Virtual Host
Select the target to be included in the view and click OK.
Next, on the Properties dialog, you can assign a name and description for your custom view and select the criteria to be included in the view. NOTE: Be sure to select “with specific Cluster” from the Criteria list. Then, on the Cluster pop-up, specify the name of your cluster. This is the name that was specified when the cluster was configured. It also appears on the title bar on the HP PolyServe Management Console.
The HP PolyServe Event View shows all Alert messages for the monitored clusters. The Status Dashboard, shown below, shows state information for the monitored clusters, including individual servers and monitors. It also shows filesystem attributes.
Alert Views and state information are also available for clusters, servers, and virtual services (monitors) only. By default, the Management Pack performs discovery every 120 seconds. If you would like to see updates at a different interval, you can change the discovery interval on the Operations Manager 2007 console.
NOTE: If the HP PolyServe Management Console does not start, log out of the Windows Server, log in again, and then restart the console. This step adds the path for the Management Console to your system environment path, enabling the console to open properly. Open issues The following open issues affect the Management Pack.
