A.05.80 HP Insight Remote Support Advanced Managed Systems Configuration Guide (June 2013)

Managed Systems Configuration Guide
Chapter 21: SAN Switch Configuration
1. Log on to the CLI interface with Telnet, or use Fabric Manager.
2. Use the CLI commands config t and snmp-server host <IP> traps version 1 public udp-port
162 commands to add the CMS IP address as a trap destination.
3. Choose to have all events returned as traps.
4. If you choose a non-standard trap community name (i.e. a name other than public), make sure this
name is included on the CMS internal settings page.
5. Enter the IP address of CMS into one of the trap destination settings. This configuration can also be
done with the Cisco Device Manager.
6. Enter the details into the managed systems page of the CMS and select the system type as C-series
FC switch for Cisco branded switches.
Testing Cisco Switch Configurations
Note: Do not pull a redundant FRU to test the configuration for supported switches.
Cisco has recently introduced a CLI test command to validate the device end-to-end event connectivity.
1. From the CLI prompt, issue the following command:
test pfm test-SNMP-trap power
2. This will cause the Cisco switch to send a bad power supply test event to the CMS. If everything
is configured correctly, this event results in an incident viewable at HP.
Note: You can also use test pfm test-SNMP-trap fan, but the temp type event, if used, will be
ignored.
Note: The first Cisco test trap will be forwarded by WEBES to HP, but subsequent test traps will be
suppressed for 24 hours before another test trap can be forwarded to HP.
Configuring a McData Fibre Channel Switch
(M/Series)
The DCFM 10.3.0 server is a PC appliance with the DCFM application installed. The application was
formerly known as HAFM or EFCM. Only DCFM version 10.3.0 or higher has the ability to send events to
the CMS. The application provides an interface for operating and managing the M/Series FC switch, and
can forward switch event data to the CMS using HTTP. Follow these steps to configure DCFM and
connect the DCFM server to the CMS:
1. Discover the McData switch within DCFM Discover → Setup menu.
2. Access the Call home configuration menu Monitor → Event Notification → Call home.
3. Select the McData switch(es) under the product list, and add them to HP LAN section of the Call
Home pane.
