HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager 6.1 User Guide

1. Enable HP SIM automatic discovery by selecting Options→Discovery. Discovery must be enabled to
discover servers within the environment.
2. Enable active event handling by selecting Options→Events→Automatic Event Handling→New
Task. This step launches a wizard to aid in the creation of a task.
3. Use the wizard to select a name for the event handler.
4. To monitor the selected CPU and memory-related failures, select the Profile Failover Trigger Events
event collection.
5. Select the systems that the event handler must monitor. You can select specific systems or a collection
of systems.
6. Step 4 of the wizard enables you to choose what actions the event handler must if one of the selected
systems generates an event. Select Run custom CMS tool, and then select VCEM Profile Failover
by Hostname.
7. If there is a specific time the event handler must be active, choose a time filter.
8. Review the selected events, systems, and actions for the automatic event handler.
VC Profile Failovers will now occur whenever any of the designated systems generate one of the events
within the event collection. When an event triggers a VC Profile Failover, a VCEM Failover job appears to
have originated from the administrator user account and will failover the system which generated the event.
