Prerequisites for Monitoring HP StorageWorks EVA

OpManager Plus monitors HP EVA based on the Command View EVA(CV EVA) version installed in the your environment.

A) SSSU Installation Instructions

OpManager Plus uses SSSU (Storage System Scripting Utility) available as part of HP StorageWorks Windows Kit for Enterprise Virtual Array installation.

• This needs to be installed in the server where OpManager Plus is installed and running
• Ensure that "SSSU.exe" is included in the PATH environment variable in the server in which OpManager Plus is installed. (You can check this by executing SSSU.exe in a command prompt which will print the version) .

Note: In case your current SSSU version is higher (say 5.0) , you need to download SSSU.exe (Version 4.0) and include it in the %PATH%. For this you may follow the steps below,

1. Open the HP software download URL, HP Software Download Page
2. Click on "HP StorageWorks Command View EVA V4.0 Media Kit". This will open a page which lists the supported Operating Systems
3. Click on the operating system corresponding to the server running OpManager Plus (Example: Windows 2003)
4. Click on the "Download" button corresponding to the "HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU) v4.0". This will download SSSU.exe

    Steps to add the HP EVA into OpManager Plus (using SSSU)

• After including SSSU utility in the %PATH% environment variable, restart OpManager Plus (shutdown & start). This is required for the Environment PATH settings to take effect.
  • In the OpManager Plus browser client go to Admin tab --> Manage Storage Devices option.
• In the "IP Address" field enter the Management_Appliance_IP_address (The IP address of the HP Management Appliance that is managing the HP EVA array)
• Choose Device Type as Raid
• Choose Vendor as HP
• Choose Model as "EVA(Below 6.0)"
• Provide the Administrator Username, Password and the Community String
• Click on Add Device.

B) EVA SMI Provider Installation Instructions

• OpManager Plus uses the HP SMI-S EVA Provider (SNIA standard) to monitor the HP EVA (Command View EVA version 6.0.2 and above)
  The HP SMI-S EVA Provider is integrated with Command View EVA.
• Install the necessary software from the OEM website.
• Ensure that EVA firmware version is compatible with the installed SMI-S provider
• Check the SMI service say like, HP StorageWorks SMI-S CIMOM or HP StorageWorks CIM Object Manager is listed in Windows Services of the Command View EVA Host.
• Now start the service

    Steps to add HP EVA into OpManager Plus(using SMI-S)

• Ensure that SMI provider is properly started and is listed in Windows Services Panel
• Restart OpManager Plus(shutdown & start). This is required for the Environment PATH settings to take effect.
• In the OpManager Plus client go to Admin Tab -->Manage Storage Devices
• Provide IP Address of the host  in which SMI-S Provider is running
• Choose Device Type, Vendor and Model as RAID, HP and EVA(Above 6.0) respectively
• In Username field enter the EVA Provider username
• In the Password field enter the EVA Provider password
• Provide the Port number at which the CIM Agent is running(5989 or 5988)
• Choose whether the SSL should be Enabled(https) or Disabled(http)
• Provied the name space (by default root/eva)
• Change the Timeout if needed.
• Click on Add Device

Note : If the Ping option is disabled for the device, then please uncheck 'Ping the given IP' field.
Note : In case the device is not discovered, then the probable reasons for non discovery are displayed in the client. Please go through the instructions and try readding the device. 

C) evaperf Installation Instructions

For Performance monitoring, evaperf utility needs to be installed in the server running OpManager Plus.

Ensure that, the evaperf utility installed host and the CommandView EVA running host are connected via Fibre Channel.

1. Include evaperf in the PATH environment variable
2. Ensure that the installed EvaPerf utility is compatible with EVA firmware version.
3. Ensure that evapdcs (EVA Performance Data Collection Service) is installed along with evaperf by executing the command "evapdcs -v"
   • If it prints "evapdcs is currently installed" , you may check its startup status in the Windows "Services" menu . This service is registered with the name "HP EVA Performance Data Collector". (If the status is "disabled", it indicates that it is in an improper state and you will need to restart the host server once and then check the above again)
   • In case the above command prints "evapdcs not installed" , install evapdcs via the following command evapdcs -i -m
4. The server running OpManager Plus needs to be registered to the Command View EVA server via , "evaperf fnh [hostname] [username] [password]"
   hostname - CVE host name , username - CVE username , password - CVE password
5. OpManager Plus uses EVA name (known as friendly name in EVA terminology ) to issue evaperf commands. For this the EVA name - WWN mapping needs to be registered via "evaperf fn" command
6. If the EVA is password protected, the EVA password needs to be registered for the respective EVA WWN via "evaperf spw array_WWN array_Password" command
7. You can check if evaperf is able to fetch valid data by entering the following command in the OpManagerPlus/ directory ,
   • evaperf all -sz <EVA Name> -csv -nots (This will automatically start evapdcs service, if it is not started already) . This should print all the EVA performance statistics (for Array, VDisk , Disk etc). 
   • The sample output should look similar to the one given below : CPU %,Data %,Ctlr,Serial,Node
     82,81,A,V8398ADVBP2003,5065-1FD1-5021-8781
     94,99,B,V8398ADVHV200D,5060-1FF1-5031-8582
