Executive summary
Many businesses today face similar infrastructure challengesunder-utilized server and storage
capacity, a great deal of time and money spent on managing the infrastructure, and a relentless
demand to meet changing business needs. And with each passing year, the costs associated with
the management of the server and storage infrastructure take a larger chunk out of the data
center budget.
This white paper describes the integration of HP SIM with HP CV EVA. Key benefits of a unified
server and storage management infrastructure follow:
Provides a central point of integration to simplify and consolidate management of the entire
server and storage infrastructure. It also reduces deployment time and costs, and facilitates
collaboration between traditional islands of server and storage management.
Provides centralized event notifications in HP SIM for servers and storage. This is especially
beneficial when there are multiple CV EVA servers in the environment. You can simplify andimprove response times when managing server-storage infrastructure alerts.
Provides more detailed information about EVA events through Insight Remote Support, ideal
for both small and large environments that need to integrate remote support capabilities
with a centralized management platform. It also provides faster notification and subsequent
resolution of server and storage system events in your network.
Provides a high-level summary of storage utilization for EVA.

Centralizing eventnotifications
HP SIM can receive events by using SNMP or WBEM.
SNMP
1. In HP CV EVA, configure the following under System Options:
SNMP event notification: Select all events or specified events to be notified, and save the
changes.
SNMP host notification: Add the IP address of the HP SIM server, and save the changes.
2.
Ensure that SNMP services are running on both the HP SIM and HP CV EVA servers. You canuse Windows Service Manager to check for SNMP services that include SNMP Service and
SNMP Trap Service. If you do not find these two components in Windows Service Manager, go
to Windows Control PanelAdd or Remove Programs, and click Add/Remove Windows
Components. In the Windows Component Wizard that appears, select Management and
Monitoring Toolsand install it. If HP SIM and HP CV EVA reside on a single server, check for
SNMP services only on that server.
3.
In Command View, go to System OptionsConfigure SNMP/event log notificationConfigure
events for SNMP/event log notification. Click Get MIBto download and save the MIB files for
the required EVA types. The MIB file is saved with a .mib.idiextension. Remove the .idi
extension, and then save the file with only the .mibextension. SeeFigure 5.
Figure 5: Locating the MIB file in HP CV EVA
4. Copy the saved MIB file to the following location on the HP SIM server:

The following sections explain how to set up HP SIM and WEBES to monitor the array.
Remote Support Advanced (RSA)
First, you must set up the Command View Protocol credentials in the WEBES UI. This enables the
correct ELMC protocol to be selected when WEBES discovers the array and ABM.
The ABM firmware does not include SNMP or WBEM agents to support HP SIM communication for
retrieval of hardware information. Therefore, certain fields must be set manually. The HP SIMSystem and Entitlement information is tightly coupled with the WEBES Managed Entity
information.
WEBES detects the presence of HP SIM. Then, it populates the Managed Entity information based
on what is defined in HP SIM for newly added systems or changes made to existing systems. For
more information about WEBES, IRSS, and IRSA, see the manuals available on the following
webpages:
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/svctools/webes/index.html
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/insight-remote-
support/index.html
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/insight-remote-
support/supportpack/index.html
The synchronization of this information causes the entity discovered by WEBES to be left in an
incomplete and unrecoverable state if any of the required fields are missing. You may have to
delete the Managed Entity from the WEBES UI and rediscover it after all required information is
entered in HP SIM. To trigger rediscovery, stop and restart the DESTA service.
To set up the EVA 4400 and ABM in HP SIM:
1.
Discover the EVA 4400 array (managed by ABM) in HP SIM by performing a discovery to the
server running SMI-S that has been set up to connect to the ABM by using
discoverer.bat, or an SMS running SMI-S and managing the array. (SeeConfigure HP
SIM and HP CV EVA on a single serverfor information about using discoverer.batto set
up SMI-S to connect to ABM.)
2.
Edit the System Propertiesin HP SIM for the discovered EVA array, including theContract and
Warranty information, Site Name, and Primary Contact. These fields are required for HP SIM
to present this entitlement data to the WEBES Managed Entity. TheCustomer-Entered Serial
Numberand Customer-Entered Product Numbersettings are not required for the EVA 4400
array because WEBES retrieves this information from the array for the EVA Managed Entity.
3.
In HP SIM, discover the ABM by providing the IP address of the ABM module, and set the
System Nameto be the fully qualified domain name for the ABM. This is required for the
WEBES Managed Entity to correctly detect and add the ABM as a connection for the EVA.
4.
Edit the System Propertiesin HP SIM for the discovered ABM. This is a placeholder in the HP
SIM System List, but there are fields required for WEBES to create a Managed Entity and pass
the RSE list check. Complete the following fields:
o System type= Storage Device
o System subtype = Storage
o Product model= EVA ABM

The WEBES Managed Entity UI should now display the EVA 4400 array and the ABM module.
Remote Support Standard (RSS)
WEBES cannot obtain the entitlement information from HP SIM because it is not installed on the
RSS. The Managed Entity information is entered manually using the WEBES Managed Entity UI.
To add the EVA 4400 array:
1.
Add the ABM module to the WEBES Managed Entity UI using the fully qualified domain name.
The orange-bar status indicates that the ABM entity requires information. SeeFigure 12.
Figure 12: WEBES Managed EntityStep 1
2. When you select the ABM entity name, the Entitlement Serial Numberand Entitlement
Product Numberfields are displayed. SeeFigure 13.

Sample WBEM events
Each WBEM event name on the Event Detailspage is prefaced by WBEM. SeeFigure 18.
Figure 18: WBEM events
Using WEBES instead of SNMP is advantageous because WEBES provides a higher-quality event as
an alert indication. If WEBES is configured to send Type 3 traps, the SMI-S provider includes event
severities in alert indications sent to HP SIM.

Configuring a trustrelationship for HP SIM in HPCV EVA
Currently, the SSO feature is disabled for HP CV EVA in HP SIM. However, the following procedure
explains how to configure SSO in HP SIM for HP CV EVA. This feature is enabled in HP SIM 6.0 and
HP CV EVA 9.2.
Adding a trust relationship enables you to automatically log in to HP CV EVA from HP SIM. This
feature is sometimes called SSO. HP CV EVA imports a certificate from a trusted source, such as
HP SIM. Users who are authenticated by HP SIM are then allowed to automatically authenticate by
using HP CV EVA without logging in again.
If you prefer to have HP CV EVA users log in each time, do not create the trust relationship. Click
Uninstall Certificatesto remove the trust relationship and require each user to log in to HP CV EVA.
1.
Launch HP CV EVA. Go to Server Options, and then click SIM/RSM trust relationships.See
Figure 21.

Configuring HP CV EVA andHP SIM on a single server
Port settings
The default port assignment of 5989 for WBEM/WMI and SMI-S has created an issue for several
versions. The following sections describe the changes that address the port-assignment issue and
provide a solution for setting up HP SIM with Command View SMI-S on the same server.
The installation sequence for HP SIM and Command View SMI-S on a CMS affects the default port
settings. The current Best Practices suggestion is to install HP SIM first and allow the WMI Mapper
to use the default port 5989. The subsequent Command View installation can detect if port 5989
is in use, and can redirect to a different port.
To obtain a snapshot of the customer environment for the currently assigned ports, in a commandwindow, execute the following command:
C:\ netstat -anb >netstat.txt
Configuring HP SIM
This section describes how to install HP SIM for the first time. It also explains how to correct an
existing HP SIM installation.
Installing HP SIM for the first time
When installing HP SIM for the first time, the First Time Wizard includes a step to configureWBEM/WMI Mapper Proxy. SeeFigure 25.
Figure 25: WBEM/WMI Mapper ProxyFirst Time Wizard
Keep the default setting of port 5989. After you complete the installation of HP SIM, add the port
that Command View SMI-S will use to the .xmlfile shown in step 1 of the following procedure.

Follow these steps to identify the port that HP SIM will use to connect to SMI-S. In this example,
port 60000 is used for the SMI-S HTTPS connection to the interopnamespace.
1.
Open the following file:
C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight
Manager\config\identification\wbemportlist.xml
2.
Add the following lines of text to the end of the file:

3.
Save the changes.
4. Restart the HP SIM service.
Correcting an existing HP SIM installation
Important: Do not use the following procedure if this is a first-time installation of HP SIM. Use this
procedure only if HP SIM has already been installed and the WMI Mapper port has been changed to
something (for example, 6989) other than the default (5989).
To restore the WMI Mapper port to the default port:
1.
Stop the Pegasus WMI Mapper service.
2.
Open the following file:
C:\Program Files\The Open Group\WMI Mapper\cimserver_planned.conf
3.
In the line that includes httpsPort=6989, change the port number to 5989.
The port number may have already been set to something other than 6989; it is used here as
an example only.
4. Save the file.
5. Restart the Pegasus WMI Mapper service.
6.
Execute the netstatcommand, and verify that the change has been made.
Note: The changes made in the cimserver_planned.conffile will be applied to the
cimserver_current.conffile after the service is restarted.
An example of a cimserver_planned.conffile follows:
enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=true
enableHttpsConnection=true
enableHttpConnection=false
sslCertificateFilePath=C:\hp\sslshare\cert.pem
sslKeyFilePath=C:\hp\sslshare\file.pem
httpsPort=5989

HP CV EVA
The HP CV EVA installation kit includes SMI-S as a component. At installation time, SMI-S assigns
the following as default ports if they are available:
HTTP port=5988
HTTPS port=5989
If one or both of these ports are in use, a screen appears on which you can change the port
numbers. The SMI-S installer suggests port 60000 if that port is not in use. SMI-S retains port
5988 if it does not conflict with another port number. SMI-S uses these ports when the HP CIMOM
process starts.
Note: This screen appears only if a port conflict is detected, which is why HP recommends
installing HP SIM before installing Command View.

Figure 28shows an example of SMI-S installation on an RSA host that already has HP SIM installed
with WMI Mapper.
Figure 28: Installing SMI-S on an RSA with HP SIM
After the ports are set, you can verify them by executing the netstatcommand as described in
Port settings.The following output is displayed:
TCP 0.0.0.0:5988 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1712 [JavaWrapper.exe]
TCP 0.0.0.0:5989 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 460 [WMIServer.exe]
TCP 0.0.0.0:60000 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1712 [JavaWrapper.exe]
In this example (Figure 28), SMI-S is set up to use ports 5988 and 60000.
To reset the port numbers if Command View is already installed:
1.
Open the following file:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-
S\CXWSCimom\config\cxws.properties
2.
Locate the cxws.http.portand cxws.https.portentries and set them to the
following values:
cxws.http.port=5988
cxws.https.port=60000
3. Restart the HP CIMOM service.

Command View on the EVA 4400
The SMI-S provider cannot be installed on the ABM. SMI-S must be installed elsewhere in the LAN
to serve as a proxy connection to the array.
The Command View installation kit enables SMI-S to be installed on a server independently. SMI-S
can be installed on the HP SIM CMS or any other server in the LAN.
SMI-S includes a utility named discoverer.batfor setting up the connection to the array ABM
This allows SMI-S to pass connection requests to the array by having the IP address and
credentials for the target ABM. To invoke this procedure, double-click the following file:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-
S\EVAProvider\bin\discoverer.bat
A command window opens. SeeFigure 29.
The first line of text showshttp://localhost:5988defined as the default path to where SMI-S is
running. This HTTP port may have been changed if it was operating on the CMS, as described in
Port settings.
The second and third lines require the credentials of the account that was set up for HP StorageGroup access. After you enter the credentials, the menu is displayed. SeeFigure 29.
