7.0.8 Insight Remote Support Monitored Devices Configuration Guide

Chapter 28
Configuring StoreEver Tape Libraries
HP’s physical tape libraries require a combination of their own web-based management interfaces and
aggregated HP Command View for Tape Libraries (TL) library management software to work with Insight
Remote Support (RS). Users configure each library to send SNMP traps for hardware events, such as fan
failures, directly to the Insight RS server. Users configure Command View TL to send TapeAssure events
over SMI-S such as poor drive margin. You need to discover Command View TL and the libraries
separately.
Note: Insight RS does not support standalone (non-library) tape drives.
To configure Command View TL TapeAssure and each library, complete the following sections.
Note: In future releases these configuration steps will be simplified.
Fulfill Configuration Requirements
Complete the following steps to configure your Tape Libraries to be monitored by Insight RS.
Task Complete?
Make sure Insight RS supports your tape library by checking the HP Insight Remote
Support Release Notes.
Configure Command View TL TapeAssure. Note that Command View TL supplies the
WBEMprotocol for configuration collection support.
Configure SNMPv1 traps on each tape library with the Hosting Device as the trap
destination.
Add the SNMP protocol to the Insight RS Console.
Add the WBEMprotocol to the Insight RS Console (for ESLand EML).
Discover the tape library in the Insight RS Console.
Verify the warranty and contract information in the Insight RS Console.
Table 28.1 Tape Library Configuration Steps
Configure Command View TL TapeAssure
In addition to managing the tape libraries, Command View for Tape Libraries supplies the WBEM protocol
that is necessary for Insight RS to gather collections on your tape libraries. During discovery of either the
tape libraries or the Command View TL server, a WBEM protocol must be created in the Insight RS
Console for the Command View TL instance on the server, and the managing server must be actively
managing the tape libraries for collections to be gathered.
