Chapter 16: Enterprise Virtual Array Configuration
Note: If Command View EVA is installed on the local host running discoverer you will also see
the IP address for the local host in this list.
5. Enter 0 to exit the discoverer utility.
After SMI-S has a connection to the ABM, HP SIM will discover the EVA4400 or P6000 array managed by
the ABM when it runs discovery against the server hosting the SMI-S service.
WEBES and EVA4400 and P6000
The release of Command View EVA 9.1 for ABM includes ELMC (WCCProxy) running on the ABM. This
provides WEBES with a connection point to the array event data.
WEBES retrieves Managed Entity information from HP SIM when operating on the Insight Remote
Support Advanced CMS. A key point to remember is HP SIM communicates to the array through the
WBEM protocol using the SMI-S provider and WEBES communicates to the array using a network
connection to ELMC (WCCProxy).
Complete these steps to setup HP SIM and WEBES to monitor the EVA4400 or P6000:
1. Setup the Command View EVA Protocol credentials in the WEBES UI first. This will insure the
correct ELMC protocol is selected when WEBES discovers the array and ABM.
2. The EVA4400 and P6000 ABM firmware does not include SNMP or WBEM agents to support HP SIM
communication for retrieval of hardware information. This requires the manual setting of certain fields.
The HP SIM System and Entitlement information is tightly coupled to the WEBES Managed Entity
information. WEBES detects the presence of HP SIM and populates the Managed Entity information
from what is found in the HP SIM defined for newly added systems or changes made to existing
systems.
3. The synchronization of this information has been found to cause the entity discovered by WEBES to
be left in an incomplete and unrecoverable state if any of the required fields are missing. This may
require deleting the Managed Entity from WEBES UI and re-discovering it once all the required
information is entered in HP SIM. Re-discovery is triggered by stopping and re-starting the DESTA_
Service.
Configuring EVA4400 and P6000 ABM in HP SIM
1. Discover the EVA4400 or P6000 array in HP SIM by performing a discovery to the server running
SMI-S that has been setup to connect to the ABM using discoverer.bat or a SMS running Command
View EVA and managing the array.
