Configuring the Management Server 158
2. Discover the management server and include it in Get Details.
The Product Health menu option in Storage Essentials helps you to monitor and manage the
management server. Product Health lets do the following:
• Disk Space Monitoring - This feature keeps track of the management server’s use of disk
space. See ” Enabling Disk Space Monitoring ” on page 158.
• Database Alert Log - The Database Alert Log scans the management server for critical errors at
a specified interval and displays the information in its own chart. This setup frees up Event
Manager for monitoring other elements. See ” Enabling the Scanning of Critical Events of the
Management Server Database ” on page 164.
• Log Files - You can view and download product logs, as described in
• Scheduled RMAN backups - This feature lets you schedule RMAN backups. See ” Scheduling
RMAN Hot Backups of the Database ” on page 204. If you see the buttons on this page
disabled, the product is set to no archive mode. See ” Setting the Archive Mode ” on page 212
for more information about changing the archive mode.
• Advanced - This feature lets you modify advanced settings so you can configure the product to
run optimally in your environment. See ” Modifying Java Memory Settings ” on page 159 and
” Customizing Properties ” on page 160 for more information.
Enabling Disk Space Monitoring
You can configure the management server to monitor itself just as it would any other element. This
feature lets you monitor the amount of free space the management server has left. The management
server uses disk space for many of its operations, such as when it collects performance data,
gathers element properties, generates events, and creates a backup.
IMPORTANT: To obtain information from Product Health, you must have already discovered the
management server and obtained element details from it. See ” Step 1 - Discovering Your Hosts and
Master Backup Servers ” on page 93 for information on how to discover a host.
1. Make sure you have already performed Get Details/Discovery Data Collection for the
management server. Discover the management server in the same manner as you would
discover a host.
2. Click Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health in HP Systems Insight
Manager.
3. Click the calendar icon, .
4. In the Time field, type the time in 24-hour format with the hour and minutes separate by a colon,
for example, 22:15. Click the date on which you want to run the monitoring. Today’s date is
highlighted in pink. Click Set.
The date and time appear in the Next Scheduled Run field in the yyyy-mm-dd hh:min format.
If you change the date in the field to a date that does not exist in a month, the software
automatically calculates the date to the next month. For example, if you enter 2003-11-31, the
software assumes the date is 2003-12-01.
