HP Storage Essentials NAS Manager Software - Manual (Page 442)

Event Management 412
1 Not all events that show up in the webtool appears in Event Manager.
2 Not all events that show up in EFCM will appear in Event Manager.
3 Need to configure the switch or proxy to send traps to the management server.
4 Also applies to Sun StorEdge switches.
5 Also applies to EMC Connectrix switches.
6 To receive events from NetApp filers, you must add the management server address as an SNMP
trap host on the NetApp filer.
7 CIM alerts from HP EVA storage systems are unsupported in HP SIM since HTTP is unsupported in
HP SIM and changing the HP SIM configuration to use HTTP is untested and the results are
unknown. However, HP SIM and the management server do support SNMP events from HP EVA
storage systems. CIM alerts are only reported by the management server if the connection is HTTP
and not HTTPS, which is the default setup for HP EVA storage systems.
1. Start Command View EVA in a Web browser.
2. Select the EVA storage system from which you want to receive events.
3. Click the System Options button.
4. Click Configure Event Notification.
5. Check the box next to “All events” and then, click the Configure button.
6. Click the Notify All button.
7. Click Save Changes.
Keep in mind the following:
• By default the management server displays events from all of the elements, except those from
itself. If you want to view events from the management server
• Select the All or option from the Show
Element Type drop-down menu. See ” Selecting an Element Type for Events ” on page 423
for more information about the menu options.
• Click the Customize button next to the Show Element Type drop-down menu in Event
Manager. Select the management server and then click OK.
When you are asked if you want to apply your changes, click Yes. Then, click the Apply Filters
button.
• The management server provides separate event notification for every event that is reported from
the devices it is monitoring. Excessive notification could delay provisioning, as the providers are
busy notifying the management server of the events. If you do not want the management server
to be notified of every event, modify the event threshold of the devices to filter out some of the
events. Refer to the documentation accompanying the device for more information about setting
the threshold.
• To receive events from Sun StorEdge or QLogic switches, verify the SNMP trap community string
is set to public in SANbox Manager or through telnet. Also, make sure the SNMP traps are
configured to be sent to the management server.
