ManageX Integration

The ManageX and HP NetStorage 6000 integration pack provides a means
for ManageX to detect operational problems with the HP NetStorage 6000.
It utilizes the Web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM) support
capability of ManageX. The HP NetStorage 6000 can send its traps to the
ManageX message reader for event management. The system
administrator can go to the HP NetStorage 6000 web-based management
page directly from the ManageX console. The system administrator is
notified immediately of problem events, such as RAID disk drive failure or
space over-utilization.

The trap notification uses SNMP and Windows Management
Instrumentation (WMI). WMI is the Microsoft implementation of the
WBEM technology, which ManageX supports. The HP NetStorage 6000
integration includes:

n

WBEM policy designed to forward HP NetStorage 6000 enterprise-
specific traps to ManageX.

n

Capability to open the HP NetStorage 6000 management page in the
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) along with ManageX
