IMPORTANT: To discover an XP P9500 array, you can either discover it with a CVAE server or
discover it with embedded SMI-S. Do not use both methods of discovery together because there
are chances for Data collection and WBEM subscriptions to fail.
Storage events
With HP SIM, administrators can monitor inventory and configure and manage hardware resources
and the system software that affects the systems.
HP SIM provides the administrator with a complete overview of the hardware status. Storage events
provide notification that a problem exists that might affect the availability of storage resources,
which can affect system and application availability. HP SIM receives detailed event messages
through WBEM events or SNMP traps. These events identify the system and the affected disk and
provide an error number for looking up details and a description of the problem. The event details
also contain links to the Command View server that generated the event. HP SIM associates a disk
or RAID subsystem with the controller managing these drives for internal storage.
