HP Insight Remote Support 7.0.9 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.
Fulfill Configuration Requirements
To configure Command View TL TapeAssure and your Tape Libraries to be monitored by Insight RS,
complete the following steps:
Note: In future releases these configuration steps will be simplified.
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.
