HP OpenView Integration

An OpenView client for AutoRAID is included with the AutoRAID Manager software, enabling full

integration with HP OpenView. This allows you to manage the SureStore E Disk Arrays on your network

from an OpenView console. If OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) is detected on the client during

installation of the AutoRAID software, the OpenView client for AutoRAID will be installed.

The OpenView client for AutoRAID communicates with the AutoRAID Manager SNMP agent running on

the server. Changes to AutoRAID status are immediately communicated to the client which updates the

AutoRAID icon status indicators.

SureStore E Disk Arrays are managed from OpenView in the same manner as other network resources. The

following tips identify ways in which you can use OpenView to manage your disk array most efficiently.

•

AutoRAID Manager can be launched by double-clicking an AutoRAID disk array icon on an

OpenView submap. The AutoRAID manager will open, displaying the status window for the disk array

icon that was clicked.

•

The AutoRAID OpenView client requires that ARMServer and the AutoRAID SNMP agent both be

running on the server

•

At OpenView initialization, the client discovers all AutoRAID disk arrays connected to NT systems,

then adds the associated AutoRAID icons to the server submaps.

•

The disk array submap layout is updated automatically once a day to reflect the addition or deletion of

devices. The submap layout is also updated manually if a server rescan is performed.

•

The SNMP configuration parameters used for each SNMP session opened by the OpenView Client for

AutoRAID can be set from the OpenView console.

Disk Array Events

Disk array events are logged to the NT Event Log by default. If SNMP is installed on the server, the events

can be passed to network management applications such as HP OpenView using the AutoRAID Manager

SNMP agent. The AutoRAID SNMP agent is installed during setup if SNMP is detected on the server.

All disk array events are listed in the online Help for AutoRAID Manager. In addition, an ASCII text file of

all the events message strings is included in the

Program Files/AutoRAID/Doc

folder (default

location). This file may be useful in creating filters and templates for network management applications.
