1 Preparation
HP P6000 Command View implementation
HP P6000 Command View can be implemented in two ways: IMPORTANT: HP P6000 Command View (formerly HP StorageWorks Command View EVA) supports all HP P6000/Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) models, except for HP EVA 3000/5000 models. General references to HP P6000 Command View may also refer to earlier versions of HP Command View EVA. P6000 is the new branding for the Enterprise Virtual Array product family. Server-based management HP P6000 Command View is installed on a management server connected to the array, providing management of multiple HP P6000 EVA storage systems. All components of the software suite (HP P6000 Command View, HP P6000 Performance Advisor, HP P6000 Performance Data Collector, HP SSSU, HP SMI-S EVA), and HP Management Integration Framework are installed. Server-based management applies to all models, except for HP EVA 3000/5000s. Array-based management The EVA4400 and the P6300/P6500 arrays are shipped with HP P6000 Command View pre-installed on the management module in the controller enclosure. Only one component of the software suite (HP P6000 Command View) is installed. Array-based management applies only to the EVA4400 and P6300/P6500 arrays (see Updating the HP Command View software suite on the management module (page 19)).
NOTE: If you have an EVA4400 running HP P6000 Command View 8.0.x and want to move to array-based management, you can install HP P6000 Command View 8.1 or later on the EVA4400. For descriptions of the software suite components and details about the DVD contents, see HP P6000 Command View DVD Contents. For an explanation of acronyms and terms, see the Glossary. You will need the following documents to complete the installation: HP P6000 Command View Release Notes HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference
When you purchase HP P6000 Command View, you can choose to receive a software DVD or an E-Delivery kit. If you choose an E-Delivery kit, you will receive an email from HP with download instructions. IMPORTANT: For E-Delivery kits, be sure to save the HP mail with the download instructions. You will need them if you need to download the software again. The HP IT Resource Center (ITRC) has reached its end of life in June 201 The new HP Support 1. Center will provide you a more personalized online support experience with access to information, tools and experts to keep your technology running in the Instant-On connected world. 1. Sign-in to the HP Support Center (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc) with HP Passport (or register first for HP Passport if you have not already obtained one.) 2. Start your ITRC migration by clicking on the Profile Migration Feature in the home page on HP Support Center. 3. Provide your ITRC username and password. After the system verifies and confirms that you are the owner of the ITRC username and password, the migration will begin. You will get a confirmation from the system when the migration is complete.
Preparation
NOTE: If you used a single ITRC login (username and password) for multiple users, you will need separate HP Passport sign-ins for each individual on HP Support Center. An ITRC account can only be migrated once, and only to one HP Passport account on HP Support Center. We recommend that you discuss and identify within your team the individual you want to claim the ITRC account. This person will then need to create shares to enable others to obtain the important benefits of the linked entitlements. If you had a linked contract on ITRC which was shared with other ITRC users, these contracts are migrated to your HP Passport account and are now available to you on HP Support Center. Any members who shared the contract in ITRC will be part of the new share and will have access to the same services as on ITRC once they complete these same migration steps above. Note: It is not necessary that the owner of the share has to migrate first. Migration can be done in any order by the owner or any of the individuals who share the linked entitlement. 4. Start using HP Support Center or review your profile and contracts and warranties (including managing sharing).
To learn more about the features and benefits of the HP Support Center, see the HP Support Center Customer Presentation, HP Support Center Brochure or take a quick tour with the HP Support Center Overview Video. For more detailed instructions on the migration process, refer to the HP Support Center Customer Migration Presentation. For more details about ITRC migration in the updated HP Support Center, see the Frequently Asked Questions document. If you have questions or require additional assistance go to: http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/wwcontact_us.html and select your country/region.
Server-based management prerequisites

Ensure you have satisfied the prerequisites before starting your installation.
Software suite
Before you install the software suite: Read the HP P6000 Command View Release Notes for any installation or post-installation requirements specific to this release.
NOTE: To install HP P6000 Command View with HP P6000 Performance Advisor, the following free space is required:
Drive Installation System Minimum available free space 4 GB 1 GB
To install HP P6000 Command View without HP P6000 Performance Advisor, the following free space is required:
Drive Installation System Minimum available free space 1 GB 1 GB
To install the entire software suite, ensure that your environment includes the following: One or more arrays. A management server running a supported version of Microsoft Windows (see the HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference). The following: Management server with dual-core 1.86 GHz processor or above 4 GB memory More than 20 GB free space of hard drive
If your environment includes iSCSI or multifunction router devices, see the Manuals page on the HP Business Support Center website: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals For EVA Array iSCSI Connectivity Option documentation, under storage, select Options and Accessories and then select Storage Array Options under Options and Accessories for Storage. Finally, select Storage EVA Array iSCSI Connectivity Option. For MPX200 Multifunction Router documentation, under storage, select Storage Networking and then select HP MPX200 Multifunction Router under Routers/Gateways/Multiplexes.
If you use the VMware guest operating system, you must have a host running VMware 3.5 or later and a virtual machine connected to the VMware host running a supported version of Windows (the guest operating system on the virtual machine). See your operating system documentation for details about setting up a virtual machine. Installing, upgrading, and removing HP P6000 Command View on a virtual machine is the same as installing HP P6000 Command View on a management server (a physical machine). When using the VMware guest operating system, two methods are supported: Virtualized SCSI Mode: With this method, only the active path to LUN 0 of a single controller can be made visible to HP P6000 Command View on the virtual machine. Virtualized SCSI Mode is enabled by default when you install HP P6000 Command View 9.3 or later. VMDirectPath (PCI pass-through): Supported on HP P6000 Command View 9.3 or later. See Table 4.0, HP software deployment options, in the HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference for VMDirectPath hardware requirements. To
Preparation
configure VMDirectPath, see Configuring VMDirectPath I/O for HP ProLiant Servers, which is available on the VMware website at: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1025641 NOTE: Although this technical note indicates that the VMDirectPath configuration is experimental, HP and VMware have an agreement that this configuration is supported. IMPORTANT: Do not install HP P6000 Command View on a virtual disk. Because HP P6000 Command View is the sole management interface for the array, it must be available at all times. Installing HP P6000 Command View on a virtual disk can create a situation where a single failure could degrade not only the array but also the ability to manage the array to determine the problem. Verify that default Regional and Language settings are set to the appropriate language, English or Japanese, before initiating the installation. Attempting to install HP P6000 Command View on a non-English-or-Japanese system causes an error message and exit of the installation wizard. NOTE: If another instance of the HP P6000 Command View Software suite installer or uninstaller is running on the target machine, the installer/uninstaller exits with the following message: Setup has detected that an instance of HP Command View Software Suite uninstaller is already running. Setup will exit now. If the current user does not have administrator privileges, the installer/uninstaller exits with the following message: The current user does not have administrator privileges. Only a user with administrator privileges can run the installation/uninstallation. See the HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference for a list of supported operating systems. Configure the browser settings for any server that will be used to access the HP P6000 Command View user interface.
For information about upgrading from previous versions, see Upgrading HP P6000 Command View software (page 20). HP Management Integration Framework (MIF) is installed automatically when you install HP P6000 Command View. HP MIF is intended primarily for security administrators. HP MIF has two interfaces (Configuration and Security), which you can access from HP P6000 Command View, or you can browse to each interface directly. Accessing or browsing to either HP MIF interface requires an Adobe Flash Player plug-in on the browser. You may need to install Management Group digital certificates to access these HP MIF interfaces. You can install only HP MIF, if appropriate.
See the HP Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide for more information.
HP SMI-S EVA
NOTE: If you have layered applications requiring HP SMI-S EVA, you can install the HP SMI-S EVA component on any server that is either connected to the array/SAN or has access to HP P6000 Command View via the Ethernet. You can access the array-based version of HP P6000 Command View using the Discoverer tool. Before you install HP SMI-S EVA, note the following: HP strongly recommends that you install HP Insight Remote Support software to complete the installation or upgrade of your product. For more information, see HP Insight Remote Support software (page 12). You can install HP SMI-S EVA separately; it does not need to be on the same management server as HP P6000 Command View. However, if HP SMI-S EVA is installed on the same server, ensure that you are logged in to the management server as a local user with local administrative privileges (the user must be a member of the local Administrators group). Install SLP, which enables you to receive information about applications that are registered with it. For example, when CIMOM is registered with SLP, you can receive information about CIMOM, such as the CIMOM URL and attributes. You can install HP P6000 Command View and HP SMI-S EVA on the same server as the HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software.
Management server types

When using server-based management, you can install the software on the following servers: General-purpose serverA server that runs customer applications, such as file and print services Dedicated management serverA Windows host intended solely for HP storage software, such as HP OpenView Storage Node Manager, HP OpenView Storage Area add-on software modules, or HP array-integrated software HP X1000/X3000 Network Storage Systems and GatewaysA server similar to the general-purpose server, used to manage arrays in the SAN as well as traditional NAS-based applications
For hardware and software specifications, see the HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference.
Setting credentials
NOTE: The information in this section applies only to HP P6000 Command View server-based management. For array-based management, there is one admin account and one user account. The default user name for the admin account is admin; for the user account, it is user. By default, there is no password for either account. See the HP P6000 Control View User Guide for information about changing account information. The existence of groups and users during software installation ensures: Authentication of users by login to the underlying operating system Assignment of predefined privileges to users
10
Preparation
NOTE: In this section, unless a reference is made to the HP Storage Users group, user refers to anyone who can access HP P6000 Command View.
Management server
Groups are automatically created during the installation process. Alternatively, you can create them manually before initiating the software installation. The manual process for creating groups applies only if the management server is part of a domain or domain controller. This section describes the manual procedure. NOTE: In HP P6000 Command View 8.0 or later, HP SMI-S EVA, HP P6000 Performance Data Collector, HP P6000 Performance Advisor, and HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager use the same groups. Uninstallation does not delete groups created during installation. To create groups and users on the management server: 1. You must have administrator privileges. 2. Use the Windows operating system feature to create the following global groups: HP Storage Admins HP Storage Users
IMPORTANT: To ensure successful authorization of groups, you must create the group names exactly as described in this step. See your Windows documentation for instructions on creating groups and users. These groups are created for local authentication only. If the management server is part of a domain or domain controller, as administrator, you can create these groups manually and you can modify these group names during installation. These groups have the following default privileges: members of the HP Storage Admins group can view and perform all tasks; members of the HP Storage Users group can only view information. 3. Create users and assign them to groups by entering a name and password for each user and assigning each user to a group. IMPORTANT: Ensure that the User must change password at next logon option is not selected when creating users. For information on configuring HP P6000 Command View credentials, see Installing Management Group security certificates in the HP Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide.
Ensuring successful authorization

Windows accounts used for authentication must have the Access this computer from the network permission enabled. By default, this permission is granted to Everyone, but some systems have a more restrictive setting. With these systems, Everyone is removed and permission is enabled for application-specific groups; you cannot authenticate with valid credentials. To ensure successful authentication: 1. Access the Local Security Policy feature on the Windows operating system. The Local Security Settings window opens. 2. 3. 4. Select Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment. Double-click the Access this computer from the network policy in the right content pane. Click Add User or Group.
1 1
5.
Add the users you have created to this permission. See your operating system documentation for further instructions.
Array-based management prerequisites

Array-based management applies only to the following: An HP EVA4400, P6300 or P6500 A server running any supported operating system that you can connect to an EVA4400, P6300 or P6500 Read the HP P6000 Command View Release Notes for any installation or post-installation requirements specific to the latest release. Configure the browser settings for any server that will be used to access HP P6000 Command View. See Updating the HP Command View software suite on the management module (page 19) for the procedure to update management module software.
These arrays are shipped with HP P6000 Command View pre-installed on the management module.
HP Insight Remote Support software

HP strongly recommends that you install HP Insight Remote Support software to complete the installation or upgrade of your product and to enable enhanced delivery of your HP Warranty, HP Care Pack Service, or HP contractual support agreement. HP Insight Remote Support supplements your monitoring, 24x7 to ensure maximum system availability by providing intelligent event diagnosis, and automatic, secure submission of hardware event notifications to HP, which will initiate a fast and accurate resolution, based on your products service level. Notifications may be sent to your authorized HP Channel Partner for on-site service, if configured and available in your country. The software is available in two variants: HP Insight Remote Support Standard: This software supports server and storage devices and is optimized for environments with 1-50 servers. Ideal for customers who can benefit from proactive notification, but do not need proactive service delivery and integration with a management platform. HP Insight Remote Support Advanced: This software provides comprehensive remote monitoring and proactive service support for nearly all HP servers, storage, network, and SAN environments, plus selected non-HP servers that have a support obligation with HP. It is integrated with HP Systems Insight Manager. A dedicated server is recommended to host both HP Systems Insight Manager and HP Insight Remote Support Advanced.
To download the software, go to Software Depot: http://www.software.hp.com.

2 HP P6000 Command View software suite

This chapter provides information on how to install the HP P6000 Command View software suite on the management server (server-based management), how to remove it from the management server, and how to install it on the management module. For information on how to install HP P6000 Command View with HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager and HP P6000 Command View for Tape Libraries, see the latest version of the HP P6000 Command View Release Notes. HP P6000 Command View, HP Management Integration Framework, and HP Storage System Scripting Utility are always installed and removed together; HP P6000 Performance Data Collector, HP P6000 Performance Advisor, HP Management Integration Framework (which can be installed by itself) and HP SMI-S EVA (seen as HP SMI-S CIMOM during installation) are optional when installing HP P6000 Command View.
Installing the software suite on a management server

HP P6000 SmartStart installs the HP P6000 Command View suite installer that installs the following software components: HP Management Integration Framework (always installed in the default location) HP P6000 Command View HP P6000 Performance Data Collector HP SMI-S EVA (SMI-S EVA Provider and CIMOM) HP P6000 Performance Advisor HP SSSU
If you are using server-based management, you can install any combination of these components (typical or custom installation). To configure HP P6000 Performance Advisor, see the HP P6000 Performance Advisor User Guide.
13
IMPORTANT: Do not use Remote Desktop to install or upgrade the HP P6000 Command View software suite. HP recommends that you close all applications on the server before starting the installation. Upgrading HP P6000 Command View does not reboot the system after uninstalling the previous version.

4 HP SMI-S EVA
This chapter describes how to configure HP SMI-S EVA after installation of the HP P6000 Command View software suite. NOTE: If you have layered applications requiring HP SMI-S EVA, you can install the HP SMI-S EVA component on any server that is either connected to the array/SAN or has access to HP P6000 Command View via the Ethernet. You can access the array-based version of HP P6000 Command View using the Discoverer tool. See Configuring HP SMI-S EVA to discover arrays (page 27) for more information.
Configuring HP SMI-S EVA after installation

By default, the -Xmx value in the CxwsCimomService.cfg file is set to 1024m, but this may not always be the correct value. To determine the correct value for -Xmx, perform the following procedure immediately after installing the software suite. CAUTION: HP recommends that you exercise caution when modifying these parameters.
To adjust memory usage or other JVM options: 1. Check the default parameters in the CxwsCimomService.cfg file. This file contains the Java options (in the JAVA_OPTIONS section) used by CIMOM and is located at: <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\config\CxwsCimomService.cfg The default parameters in the CxwsCimomService.cfg file are: 2. -Xms128m (Minimum Heap Memory Usage in mb) -Xmx1024m (Maximum Heap Memory Usage in mb)
3.
On the command line, enter <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\jre\bin\java -Xmx1024m -version. If the Java version number is returned, the default value of 1024m for -Xmx is correct. If the Java version number is not returned, retry the command using lower values until the Java version number is returned. For scaled configurations (configurations that contain hundreds of Vdisks created and presented with frequent performance data collection), the value of 1024m for -Xmx is insufficient. To determine the Max Heap Space for the machine, enter the following command at the command line: <install_location>\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\jre\bin\java Xmx1600m version If the Java version number is returned, the value of 1600m is correct. If you try higher values and the Java version number is not returned, retry the command with lower values until the Java version number is returned. Then use the last value you entered.
4.
Add the value that returned the Java version number as the -Xmx value in the CxwsCimomService.cfg file located in the directory <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\.

5. 6.
After changing the CxwsCimomService.cfg file, restart the HP CIM Object Manager service. Verify that the following files are available: <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\EVAProvider\lib\hpEVA.jar <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\EVAProvider\lib\SALEva.jar <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\EVAProvider\lib\SALCommon.jar <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\lib-native\WindowsAuthenticator.dll <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\lib-native\WindowsEventLoggingUtil.dll <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\EVAProvider\lib-native\Indication.dll <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\bin\ccbgn.cfg <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\jre\bin\ccbgn.cfg
Configuring HP SMI-S EVA to discover arrays

HP SMI-S EVA includes a Java-based CLI Discoverer tool that enables discovery of arrays managed by both the array-based and server-based management implementations of HP P6000 Command View. Use the Discoverer tool to: Add or remove an array-based or server-based IP address to HP SMI-S EVA. Perform a custom installation of HP SMI-S EVA only. If you plan to install HP P6000 Command View later, you must still add a localhost address to complete the HP SMI-S EVA installation. View existing array-based or server-based IP addresses from HP SMI-S EVA.
The Discoverer tool lets you perform these tasks in both interactive and noninteractive modes. See Using Discoverer modes for more information.
Importing Single Sign-on trust certificates with the Discoverer tool

To import a Single Sign-on certificate with the Discoverer tool: 1. Enter the management server credentials. 2. Enter the management server IP address. The Single Sign-on trust certificate is automatically imported after the management server IP address is added to the Discoverer tool. If HP SMI-S EVA cannot connect to the management server IP address, the Discoverer tool adds the IP address to HP SMI-S EVA and the following warning message appears:
WARNING: IP is added into SMIS successfully but SSO certificate import to CV has failed. Please import the certificate manually.
If this message appears, import the Single Sign-on trust certificate manually to ensure that HP SMI-S EVA and HP P6000 Command View can communicate.
Configuring HP SMI-S EVA to discover arrays
27
Manually importing a Single Sign-on Trust Certificate

To manually import a Single Sign-on Trust Certificate: 1. Launch HP P6000 Command View from the server on which HP SMI-S EVA is installed. 2. Navigate to Management Options > Other application trust relationships. 3. Locate the Single Sign-on Trust Certificate in the following directory: <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\EVAProvider\config\HPSMISSSO.cert
HP SMI-S EVA caching and performance

Due to the time required for initial cache building, applications using HP SMI-S EVA do not have immediate access to configuration details after the management server IP address is added to the Discoverer tool. Data-completion time depends on the number of arrays and objects being discovered. Use the GetArrayRefreshStatus tool included with HP SMI-S EVA to retrieve the status of cache building. Due to initial cache-building time, frequently adding or removing the IP address is not recommended. See Using the GetArrayRefreshStatus tool (page 36) for more information. IMPORTANT: The Discoverer tool and the HP SMI-S EVA server do not recognize IP addresses that cannot be reached on the network. When an IP address is added to HP SMI-S EVA, HP SMI-S EVA will try to connect to HP P6000 Command View. If the IP address cannot be reached or if HP SMI-S EVA cannot find a management server to communicate with, HP SMI-S EVA will try to connect to the IP address three times every 30 minutes. Adding unreachable or invalid IP addresses to the Discoverer tool degrades performance on HP SMI-S EVA.
Using the Discoverer tool

The Discoverer tool has both interactive and non-interactive modes and is located in the following directory: <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\EVAProvider\bin
Using the Discoverer tool in interactive mode.

1. 2. To start the Discoverer tool, execute discoverer.bat. Enter the HP SMI-S EVA server details in the following format: http://IP_address:SMIS_HTTP_port_number For example, to have the Discoverer tool connect to HP SMI-S EVA running on local host port 5988, enter the IP address, the local host port number and click Enter as follows: http://15.154.59.192:5988 3. Enter your HP SMI-S EVA user name and password. NOTE: The password is masked, so nothing is displayed.
Once connected to HP SMI-S EVA, the following options are displayed:

1. 2. 3. 0. Add a CV IP: Remove a CV IP: Get the list of CV IPs: Exit
In the following example, the user chose option 1. Add a CV IP and responded to the following prompts:

Managing users in HP SMI-S EVA

By default, all HP P6000 Command View users are HP SMI-S EVA users. See Creating users on Windows (page 20) for more information.
CIM client connection to the management server

If you are using SSL mode, the SSL certificate on the management server must be made available on the HP SMI-S EVA client to establish a CIM connection with the management server. This is required only if your client application requires a secure connection over SSL and does not use a trust-all certificate manager. This certificate is available in client.pem and is converted as a trust file with the name hpSMIS.trust. All certificates are located in the following directory: <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom NOTE: Use the following procedure only if your client application requires a secure connection over SSL and does not use a trust-all certificate manager. By default, HP Storage Essentials and HP Systems Insight Manager use a trust-all certificate manager, but you can configure them to authenticate each connection against certificates in their truststore. For Java-based clients: 1. Copy the hpSMIS.trust file located in <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\ to the CIM client machine.

3.
Change the classpath variable to include the directory for the hpSMIS.trust file.
The non-Java-based clients must use client.pem to connect to the management server.
Importing the HP SIM SSL certificate for indication delivery

To deliver indications to an HP SIM central management server that is configured for indication delivery in CIMOM: 1. Copy the certificate from the HP SIM central management server to the system where the CIMOM is installed. 2. From a command window, navigate to the directory <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\bin. 3. Run the following script: importSIMCert.bat. Use the following syntax: prompt> importSIMCert.bat -cert SIM_CMS_certificate_name_with_path> [-alias <key_alias>] NOTE: The value of <key_alias> must be different for each certificate imported into the keystore.
Configuring CIM indications

For CIM, you can configure lifecycle and alert indications.
Lifecycle indication
You can modify the LifeCycleIndication.cfg file to configure lifecycle indications. The file is located in the directory <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\ SMI-S\EVAProvider\config. Table 4 (page 30) describes lifecycle indication configurable properties. NOTE: Long file names in the following table are arbitrarily wrapped. They contain no spaces.

You must configure HP SMI-S EVA to generate alerts using HP Insight Remote Support if either of the following situations occurs: You install HP Insight Remote Support and the HP P6000 Command View software suite on the same management server for the first time. You observe that events are listed in the HP Insight Remote Support user interface, but alert indications are not received through the HP SMI-S EVA client.
To configure HP SMI-S EVA to generate alerts using HP Insight Remote Support: 1. Open a command window (C:\) on the management server. 2. Change to the directory where HP Insight Remote Support is installed. (Typically, the directory is <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\svctools\common\bin.) 3. Enter the following commands at the system prompts:
<install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\svctools\common\bin> desta snmp off Do you really want to turn off SNMP service trap notification [Yes]: yes SNMP Service Trap notification is now disabled.
4.
Enter the following commands at the system prompts:

<install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\svctools\common\bin> desta snmp on Which host(s) should receive service traps for logged calls (comma-separated)[127.0.0.1]: 127.0.0.1 Which Trap type to use(Enter 2 or 3) [null]: 3 SNMP Service Trap notification is now enabled.
SMI-S supports both type 2 and 3 traps. The desta snmp command enables or disables support notification to management applications. All HP Insight Remote Support clients (such as HP Systems Insight Manager and HP OpenView Operations) using SNMP notification from HP Insight Remote Support will be affected momentarily when you execute the desta snmp off command. HP Insight Remote Support clients using other notification mechanisms (such as SMTP) will not be affected. For more information on notification mechanisms that will not be affected, see your HP Insight Remote Support documentation.

Additional tool information

This section contains additional tool information.
Using the CLIRefresh tool

This tool provides a CLI interface to update cache data. Any operation performed on arrays outside HP SMI-S EVA may not be reflected in the cache data until the next refresh. Use this tool to trigger the refresh immediately.
35
NOTE: If you make changes to any objects used between two storage systems (for example, changes in DR groups), you must refresh each storage system. The time required for a cache update depends on the array's size.
To update cache data: 1. Open a command prompt window (C:\). 2. Set the path to the specified directory, as shown in the following example: <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\bin 3. Execute the CLIRefreshTool.bat command script. Enter the host IP, user name, and password, and select the array when prompted. An example follows:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\bin> CLIRefreshTool.bat Enter the internet address of the host in the format- http://HOSTNAME:http://localhost Enter the username: UserName Enter the password: password NameSpace:/root/eva/
NOTE:
The password is not masked.
Sample output follows:

SELECT A STORAGE SYSTEM

You cannot configure the array when the icon is gray, which indicates a communication problem. A yellow triangle on the array icon indicates a condition that requires attention, such as a communication problem, a malfunctioning blower, or a cache battery problem. A red X on the array icon indicates a serious problem, such as a communication failure. To resolve the communication failure, see Troubleshooting (page 51). For a list and description of HP P6000 Command View icons, see the online help.
Configuring array access

NOTE: This section applies only to server-based management. If you are using array-based management, you have direct access to the array and the storage system password will be ignored. A password is an optional security feature that allows you to access specified arrays through an HP P6000 Command View session. If you decide to protect your storage system using management passwords, the password you enter in HP P6000 Command View must match the password specified for the array. You must set the array password first. If you have already set a password on the array, you must set the same password in HP P6000 Command View in order to manage that array. If the array password has not been set, you can use the Enable function to create the password; however, the password is not enabled until you set it on the array. The array password must meet the following requirements: Can be 816 characters Can include the letters AZ in upper or lower case Can include numerals 09 Can include the following characters: ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ ] ^ _ ` { | } Cannot include spaces or the following characters: ~ \

6. 7. 8.
Click Enable password. The Enable Password Access dialog box opens. Click OK. A status window opens, indicating success or failure. Click OK to return to the Storage System Password Access window.
To enable a password on a array-based management configuration: 1. Click Launch HP P6000 Control View on the Management Module Properties page to start the HP P6000 Control View. 2. To change the storage system password, select Configure Administrator login options. 3. Under Management Server Password, enter the new password in the Password box. 4. Enter the password again in the Confirm Password box. 5. Click Set Password.
Initializing the array

HP recommends that you use HP P6000 SmartStart to initialize your storage system to simplify your process. When you install an array, it appears as an uninitialized storage system. Uninitialized arrays will be visible in the Settings Point-of-View in the Single Pane-of-Glass. Initializing an array makes it ready for use, binds the controllers as an operational pair (for models other than the EVA4400, P6300 or P6500), and establishes preliminary data structures on the array. Initializing also sets up the first disk group, which is called the Default Disk Group. IMPORTANT: Before installation or upgrade, the time set on your system must be your local time. For instructions on ensuring that your system is set to local time, see the HP P6000 Command View Release Notes. NOTE: When initializing an array, ensure that you are using a local instance of HP P6000 Command View. The management server running HP P6000 Command Viewshould be connected to the array through a direct connection or Fibre Channel switches. Do not use an FCIP gateway between the management server and the array. If you are upgrading an existing version of HP P6000 Command View, the arrays remain initialized and any other existing components are retained.
45
NOTE: When you initialize (or reinitialize) an array, you must force a discovery cycle to restore the communication path. If the array is still not visible, restart the HP P6000 Command View service on any standby management servers. Run rediscovery, check the online help, or see the HP P6000 Command View User Guide for more information. When initializing an array, you must enter a name for the array. You can also perform the following optional tasks: Enter the number of disks to be included in the default disk group. Set the drive type. Set the array date and time. Enter a console LUN ID. Select a disk failure protection level. Enter comments.
See the online help for instructions for completing these tasks.
Licensing
NOTE: Array-based management users will have read-only access to HP P6000 Continuous Access features. Server-based management is required for full HP P6000 Continuous Access functionality. HP recommends that you use HP P6000 SmartStart to obtain your license key, to simplify your process. Once installation is complete, you must have access to a license key to use all HP P6000 Command View features. The product's License Entitlement Certificate provides instructions on how to obtain a license key. A temporary, instant-on license key is available on first installation of HP P6000 Command View so that you can immediately start using it. The instant-on license is not enabled by default for HP P6000 Command View array-based management, but is enabled by default when the software suite is installed on the management server (server-based management). The instant-on license is valid for all arrays managed by an HP P6000 Command View server, and it enables all features (HP P6000 Command View, HP P6000 Business Copy, HP P6000 Continuous Access, HP P6000 Performance Advisor, HP P6000 Performance Data Collector, and thin provisioning) with unlimited capacity for 60 days from first use. Upon expiration of the instant-on license key, the features are disabled. You must obtain a permanent license key to continue to use the features. Available license keys include: HP P6000 Command View General license keyRequired to manage drives and disk groups HP P6000 Business Copy license keyActivates snapshot, snapclone, and mirrorclone features. HP P6000 Continuous Access license keyActivates the data replication feature HP P6000 Command View upgrade licenseRequired for any of the following: Adding licensed capacity Upgrading to a different array type
HP P6000 Command View Data Migration licenseRequired to migrate data to a different array HP P6000 Performance AdvisorRequired to analyze performance data, collected by HP P6000 Performance Data Collector
When a permanent license is installed, it takes effect immediately for the array. The supported capacity for the array is determined by the specific license that is installed. If you remove the
permanent license during the instant-on license validity period, the instant-on characteristics (all features and unlimited capacity) are reinstated for the remainder of the 60-day evaluation period. Model upgrade and extended evaluation licenses are also available. License keys can be generated to cover the total raw capacity of each array. You can enter the license key before or after initializing the array. License keys are specific to an array and are not transferable. For information on licensing and obtaining keys, see the HP License Key Delivery Service at: https://webware.hp.com/Welcome.asp.

7 Troubleshooting
This chapter describes known issues and suggested resolutions for troubleshooting the software installation of HP P6000 Command View and HP SMI-S EVA, and use of the web browser.
HP P6000 Command View

This section describes troubleshooting for HP P6000 Command View on the management server (server-based management).
Antivirus software may degrade performance

To avoid HP P6000 Command View performance issues when antivirus software is installed on the same management server, HP recommends that you exclude from the antivirus software scan the log-related files that change frequently, including the following: \Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Sanworks\Element Manager for HSV\ cache \Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Sanworks\Element Manager for HSV\log \Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Sanworks\Element Manager for HSV\logs \Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Sanworks\Element Manager for HSV\ trace \Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\XFROOT\log
If HP 6000 Performance Advisor and HP P6000 Performance Data Collector are installed: \Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\EVA Performance Monitor\logs \Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\EVA Performance Monitor\cache
If HP SMI-S EVA is installed: \Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\logs \Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\EVAProvider\logs
Controller time zone reset to UTC after upgrading array-based HP P6000 Command View
After updating HP P6000 Command View in an array-based management configuration, the controller time zone is reset to UTC. To ensure proper event handling, set the time zone and time to the local time. The correct time can be set from HP P6000 Command View by selecting System OptionsSet time options.
Failed connection warning for uncabled controller host ports

If a host port is uncabled, the user interface displays an error. Specifically, the Connection state box on the Host Ports tab of the Controller Properties page displays Connection failed for an uncabled host port. This situation causes a persistent Attention indication in the navigation pane. To prevent this, pull the GBICs from uncabled ports on the controller. If the system is already initialized, removing the GBICs will generate an associated one-time controller event. See the HP P6000 Command View User Guide for more information about the user interface and events.
Failed to connect to discovery

If you see the warning message:
HP P6000 Command View
51
Failed to connect. The Management Group (MG) may not be installed. Please refer to help for more information. Install the Management Group Certificate in the browser and then restart the browser. See the HP Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide, version 1.4, or later, for more information.
Insufficient privileges prevents login

The following error message may be displayed during setup: Insufficient privileges Execute the following command on the server or management module on which you are installing HP P6000 Command View: C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\XF\bin\win-32>XfAppMgr register XFSecurity.cfg The following response indicates that login is enabled: Registered application roles and privileges using config file: XFSecurity.cfg.
Logon to HP P6000 Command View may require a fully qualified user name
When logging on to HP P6000 Command View on a machine that is not an authenticator for the HP Management Group of which the machine is a member, you may need to use a fully qualified user name (for example, user@ossecuritydomain). This is necessary if you used HP Management Integration Framework Security software to modify the default security configuration for HP P6000 Command View.
A machine is a management server running server-based HP P6000 Command View or a management module running array-based HP P6000 Command View. See the HP Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide for more information about HP Management Groups.
Management Integration Framework service fails to start

The following error message may be displayed during installation: The Management Integration Framework service has failed to start. Check that the server (or management module) where you are installing HP P6000 Command View has an active Ethernet connection. See the HP Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide, version 1.4, or later, or the HP P6000 Command View online help for more information.
Power failure during installation

If a power failure occurs during installation: 1. Use Add or Remove Programs to remove all installed components, including HP P6000 Command View, HP Management Integration Framework, HP P6000 Performance Advisor, HP P6000 Performance Data Collector, and HP SMI-S EVA. 2. Start the install process from the beginning.
Power failure during removal

If a power failure occurs during removal, use Add or Remove Programs to remove all components and the software suite one by one.

Troubleshooting
Running HP P6000 Command View and HP Systems Insight Manager on the same server
To run HP P6000 Command View and HP Systems Insight Manager on the same server and be able to discover and perform data collection on arrays, you must change certain settings for HP Systems Insight Manager during HP P6000 Command View installation. Perform the following steps: 1. Install HP Systems Insight Manager. 2. Install HP P6000 Command View. The installer will issue a message that Wbemport 5988/5989 is already in use. 3. 4. Change the default port to any available port in the range 60000 through 65536. Complete the HP P6000 Command View installation.
Restart the services or reboot the server, then perform the following steps: 1. Navigate to the directory C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\ config\cxws.properties. 2. Check the port details. Port information similar to the following is displayed: cxws.http.port=60001 cxws.https.port=60002 3. Navigate to the directory C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config\identification\wbemportlist.xml. Port information similar to the following is displayed:
wbemportlist port id="5989" protocol="https .................. port id="60001" protocol="https interopnamespacelist interopnamespace name="interop" / /interopnamespacelist /port /wbemportlis
4.
Restart the HP Systems Insight Manager service.
Web browser
When certificates are installed in browsers, troubleshooting is provided as part of the installation of HP P6000 Command View. For additional information, see the HP Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide.
HP SMI-S EVA
This section provides troubleshooting information for HP SMI-S EVA installation and configuration for server-based management. This section does not apply to array-based management.
Client connection for Provider

The Provider supports up to 32 client connections. When possible, schedule the use of Provider applications so that their system usage does not overlap.
Creating a pool results in disk groups created with a size different from requested size
When you create a pool of disks through HP SMI-S EVA, the size of the total created disk groups is less than requested. For example, if you create a pool of 300 GB, the size of the pool when created is approximately 253 GB. When creating a pool of nearline disks with the minimum size possible, the actual size of the pool might be more than the specified size.
Web browser 53
HP SIM data collection

When running HP SIM data collection, the following message may be displayed: This system doesn't have a SMIS - CIMOM installed If this message is displayed, run the getarrayrefreshstatus.bat file from the CIMOM local directory on the management server. Check the refresh status of the arrays and then try to run HP SIM data collection again.
HP SMI-S EVA fails to retrieve data

If HP SMI-S EVA fails to retrieve data, determine if: The array managed by the management server is active or passive. If the array is passive, access to the array is limited; data is populated only for the enumerate instance of the StorageSystem call. HP P6000 Command View and HP SMI-S CIM Object Manager services are running on the server: Select StartSettingsControl PanelAdministrative ToolsServices. If either service is not running, select the service and click Start. The user name and password are correct. If the user name and password do not match the information entered when the account was created, a CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED message appears. This error can also appear when the CFG file is missing in the CIMOM install path. See the Authentication section to correct. The trust certificate between HP SMI-S EVA and HP P6000 Command View has been imported correctly: 1. Select Management Options in HP P6000 Command View. 2. Select Other application trust relationships. 3. If this is a new installation, check that you have a trust certificate called HPEVA_SMIS_Provider. Otherwise, verify that the certificate location is as follows: <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\EVAProvider\config\HPSMISSSO.cert 4. If the certificate is not present, HP SMI-S EVA and HP P6000 Command View cannot communicate. You must install the HPSMISSSO.cert certificate: Select Install Certificate and specify the certificate name and location. The HPSMISSSO.cert certificate is located in the following directory: <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\EVAProvider\config\ Array details are not available through HP SMI-S EVA when the initial cache build is in process. The cache build occurs after: Starting the HP SMI-S EVA service Restarting the HP SMI-S EVA service Adding the management server IP address to HP SMI-S EVA
HP SMI-S EVA loses communication with array-based management system after management module software is upgraded
When upgrading an array-based management module, the HP SMI-S EVA trust certificates between HP P6000 Command View and HP SMI-S EVA are not maintained. The trust relationship must be re-established using the Discoverer tool after the management module has been upgraded.
54 Troubleshooting
HP SMI-S EVA service does not start

In the Services window, verify that the CIMOM service is running. If it is not running, select the service, and then click Start. If, after performing this step, the service does not start, check for port conflicts and reconfigure ports if necessary.
HP SMI-S EVA uses best management path to discover arrays

When two instances of HP P6000 Command Viewthat manage the same array are discovered using the Discoverer tool, the passive instance of the array is not discovered. Both active and passive instances of the array should be listed in HP SMI-S. When an array has been managed by HP P6000 Command View in IP1 and that array has been managed passively by another instance of HP P6000 Command View in IP2, and if both IPs are discovered in SMI-S SAL, the array in the active management path is always discovered by SAL. SAL uses the best management path to communicate with the array.
IPv6 enabled on a Windows system

When IPv6 is enabled and IPv4 is disabled on a Windows system, do one of the following: Add a line: 1. Add the following line to the file <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\config\cxws.properties: java.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true 2. 3. Restart the CIMOM service. Using the Discoverer tool, manually remove the IPv4 address if shown, and add the IPv6 address.
Append a flag 1. Append the flag Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true in <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\config\CxwsCimomService.cfg for the JAVA_OPTIONS property. 2. Restart the CIMOM service. 3. Using the Discoverer tool, manually remove the IPv4 address if shown, and add the IPv6 address.
Removing HP SMI-S EVA does not remove CIMOM-related folders

When you remove HP SMI-S EVA, files and folders related to CIMOM are not removed. To remove the related files: 1. Navigate to the directory <install_location>:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\config. 2. Delete the folder SMI-S\CXWSCimom\config. This deletes all CIMOM-related files and ensures that CIMOM functions correctly when reinstalled. 3. Reboot the server.
Ungrouping disks from a disk group is not supported

When you use CreateOrModifyStoragePool to remove disks from a storage pool, a return code of 0 is received. This return code implies that the storage pool has been dissolved and the disks have been ungrouped; however, the disks remain grouped. HP recommends that you not remove disks from a storage pool using CreateOrModifyStoragePool. No other method is available to remove disks from a storage pool.
