The HP P6000 Command View Software Suite kit contains the following components.
• HP P6000 Command View Software (server-based)
• HP P6000 Performance Advisor Software
• HP P6000 Performance Data Collector Software
• HP P6000 Control Panel Software
• HP P6000 SmartStart Software (Windows)
• HP EVAInfo
• HP Management Integration Framework Software
• HP SMI-S EVA CIMOM
• HP Storage System Scripting Utility (multi-platform)
• HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager Software (server)
• HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager Software (host agents)
• HP P6000 SmartStart Software (Linux)
• EVA to 3PAR Online Import
• Documentation
For descriptions of software suite components and details about DVD and CD contents, see the HP
P6000 Command View Software Suite Kit Contents or “ HP P6000 Command View Software Suite
components” (page 40). For an explanation of acronyms and terms, see the “Glossary”.
You will need the following documents to complete the installation:
• HP P6000 Command View Software Suite Release Notes
• HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference
If you plan to migrate EVA data to a 3PAR storage system, you will also need the EVA to 3PAR
Online Import Migration Guide.
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.

6 Preparation
 The HP IT Resource Center (ITRC) reached its end of life in June 2011. The new HP Support 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.

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 the HP Support Center. An ITRC
account can only be migrated once, and only to one HP Passport account on HP Support
Center. HP recommends that you identify an individual within your team 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, this contract is migrated to your HP Passport account
and is now available 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 the migration steps above.

NOTE: The owner of the share does not have to migrate first. Migration can be done in any
order by the owner or any of the individuals who share the linked entitlement.

4. Use HP Support Center to review your profile, contracts and warranties (including managing
sharing).
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.

NOTE: HP P6000 Command View supports a limited ASCII character set in the object name and
comment fields, no matter which Windows language is used. See “Illegal characters in names and
comments ” (page 42) for a list of characters illegal in names.

8 Preparation
TIP: The HP P6000 Command View Software Suite GUI is only localized to English and Japanese.
Running the HP P6000 Command View Software Suite on a German, French, Spanish, Italian, or
Portuguese operating system displays GUI content in English, or Japanese, if a Japanese localized
copy is used.
1. To install the entire software suite, your environment must include 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 for supported versions).
• Management server with dual-core 1.86 GHz processor or above.
• 4 GB memory.
• More than 20 GB free space on the hard drive for the HP P6000 Performance Advisor
database.
• If your server is a domain node, to install HP P6000 Command View, the logged-in user
must have read and execute permission at the OS drive and user-installation drive levels.
• Adobe Flash Player plugin is required when using the browser to access HP P6000
Command View. (See Adobe Flash port configuration details at http://www.adobe.com;
search for configure ports for specific information.)
• If using firewalls, take the ports in “TCP ports summary” (page 63) into consideration.
• If using firewalls and if fixed ports are required in the MIF process, consult the HP
Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide to configure them.
• If the time set on your system is not your local time, the installation may fail. Check the
time set on your system to ensure it is set for local time.
2. If your environment includes iSCSI or multifunction router devices, see the Manuals page on
the HP 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.
3. 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. For information on

Server-based management prerequisites 9

 VMDirectPath support and to 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

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.

4. See the HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference for a list of supported
operating systems.
5. Configure the browser settings for any server that will be used to access the HP P6000
Command View user interface. See “Browser configuration” (page 65) for details on browser
configuration.
For information about upgrading from previous versions, see “Upgrading HP P6000 Command
View software ” (page 19).
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 plugin on
the browser.
• You may need to install Management Group digital certificates to access these HP MIF
interfaces.
• You can install HP MIF without Command View, if desired. For example, you may want to
install MIF to gain the ability to do single sign-on to HP Command View, MIF, and the Control
Panel.
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 13).
• 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.

10 Preparation
Management server types
When using server-based management, you can install the software on the following servers:
• General-purpose server—A server that runs customer applications, such as file and print
services
• Dedicated management server—A 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 Gateways—A 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 Command View Software Suite 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

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
The installation process creates Groups automatically. If the management server is part of a domain
or domain controller, you can create also create Groups manually before starting the software
installation.

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 whose members can view and perform all tasks
• HP Storage Users whose members can only view information

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.

Server-based management prerequisites 11

 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 where Everyone is removed and permission is enabled for application-specific
groups; on such a system, 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. Select Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment.
3. Double-click the Access this computer from the network policy in the right content pane.
4. Click Add User or Group.
5. Add the users you have created to this permission.

Array-based management prerequisites

Array-based management applies only to the following:
• An HP EVA4400, P63x0 or P65x0
• A server running any supported operating system that you can connect to an EVA4400, P63x0
or P65x0
Ensure that your environment includes the following:
• Adobe Flash Player plugin is required when using the browser to access HP P6000 Command
View. (See Adobe Flash port configuration details at http://www.adobe.com; search for
configure ports for specific information.)
• If using firewalls, take the ports in “TCP ports summary” (page 63) into consideration.
• If using firewalls and if fixed ports are required in the MIF process, consult the HP Management
Integration Framework Administrator Guide to configure them.

IMPORTANT: When first setting up array-based management, connect directly to the Ethernet
port to configure the array-based management IP address.

TIP: Whenever a Management Integration Framework configuration is changed, the user

is prompted to restart the MIF ports; it can take up to a minute to restart the array-based
management system.

12 Preparation
 These arrays are shipped with HP P6000 Command View pre-installed on the management module.
• Read the HP P6000 Command View Software Suite 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 25)
for the procedure to update management module software.

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. 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 supports server and storage devices, is optimized for
environments with 1-50 servers, and is 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 provides comprehensive remote monitoring and proactive
service support for most HP servers, storage, network, and SAN environments, and selected
non-HP servers with a support obligation with HP. It is integrated with HP Systems Insight
Manager. HP recommends that a dedicated server host both HP Systems Insight Manager
and HP Insight Remote Support Advanced.
For more information or to download either HP Insight Remote Support Standard or HP Insight
Remote Support Advanced, go to: http://www.hp.com/go/insightremotesupport.

E HP SMI-S EVA configuration
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 Software Suite over 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 50) 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:
• -Xms128m (Minimum Heap Memory Usage in mb)
• -Xmx1024m (Maximum Heap Memory Usage in mb)
2. 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.
3. 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. After changing the CxwsCimomService.cfg file, restart the HP CIM Object Manager
service.
6. 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

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.

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

50 HP SMI-S EVA configuration

 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 58) 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. To start the Discoverer tool, execute discoverer.bat.
2. 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. Add a CV IP:
2. Remove a CV IP:
3. Get the list of CV IPs:
0. Exit
In the following example, the user chose option 1. Add a CV IP and responded to the
following prompts:
Please enter your choice :1

Enter the IP address of CommandView :xx.yyy.zz.abc / 15.154.59.220

Enter the CommandView username :usrname

Enter the CommandView password :pswd

Operation in progress....Please wait....

Operation successful!!

Managing users in HP SMI-S EVA

By default, all HP P6000 Command View users are HP SMI-S EVA users.

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.
2. On the CIM client machine, specify the following options to connect to the HP SMI-S EVA
server using SSL mode:
java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=jks
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=hpSMIS.trust
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.

52 HP SMI-S EVA configuration

Configuring CIM indications

HP SMI-S EVA supports lifecycle indications for the following array elements:
• Vdisk—Modeled as CIM_StorageVolume. Supports lifecycle indications for creating, modifying,
and deleting instances.
• Array—Modeled as CIM_ComputerSystem. Supports lifecycle indications for instance
modification.
• FCPort—Modeled as CIM_FCPort. Supports lifecycle indications for instance modification.
To customize lifecycle indication
Customize the lifecycle indication features using the configuration file.
To enable lifecycle indication
By default, lifecycle indication is disabled (LifeCycleIndication.Enable is set to FALSE).
To enable lifecycle indication, set its value to TRUE.
To disable lifecycle indication for Vdisk, Array, or FCPort
By default, LifeCycle Indications for Vdisk, Array and FCPort are enabled (set to FALSE). To disable
lifecycle indication for the supported elements, set the value for each to TRUE:
• LifeCycleIndication.Disable.Vdisk=TRUE
• LifeCycleIndication.Disable.Array=TRUE
• LifeCycleIndication.Disable.FCport=TRUE
To configure the Polling Interval
Polling is done at 10-minute intervals by default. To change the interval, set the value for
LifeCycleIndication.PollingInterval in minutes. For example, to set the polling interval
for 1 hour, set the value as follows: LifeCycleIndication.PollingInterval=60

Configuring CIM indications 53

Alert indication
NOTE: Alert indications are not supported for array-based management.
Use the file Indication.cfg to configure alert indications. This file is located at:
<Install_Location>:\Program
Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\EVAProvider\config.
Table 11 (page 54) describes the configurable properties in Indication.cfg.

SnmpAgtIps Controls the source IP address of the SNMP trap. Use the comma (,) to set
more than one IP address. If this property value is blank, SNMP traps are
accepted from any IP address.

For example, the following line in the file Indication.cfg produces debug logs:
LogLevel=2

Configuring HP SMI-S EVA to generate alerts using HP Insight Remote

Support
After installing HP Insight Remote Support, you must configure HP WEBES to forward SNMP events.
Use the desta tool to add the host to the HP Insight Remote Support SNMP list; then run the
commands desta SNMP off and desta SNMP on.
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
54 HP SMI-S EVA configuration
 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.

Configuring HP SMI-S EVA logging using the dynamic log-level setting tool
The dynamic log-level setting tool enables you to change the log levels of both the CIMOM and
HP SMI-S Provider without restarting the service.
NOTE:
• The log levels are ALL, DEBUG, ERROR, INFO, WARN, OFF.
• The log levels are case sensitive. Specify the desired log level using only uppercase characters.
• After you change the log level, it may take a few minutes for the changes to take effect.
To change the log level:
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. Enter the Set_LogLevel command, as shown in the following example:
cscript Set_LogLevel.vbs <loglevel>
After you enter the CIMOM and HP SMI-S Provider Set_LogLevel command, the log level
is set to the desired log level. A message similar to the following is displayed:
Log Level Set to: log level
For example: if you enter the following:

Using the CLIRefresh tool
CLIRefresh is a CLI interface for immediate cache refresh, if needed, as operations performed on
arrays outside HP SMI-S EVA may not be reflected in cache data until the next refresh.
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 array size.
To update cache data:
1. Open a command prompt window (C:\).
2. Set the path to the specified directory, for 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. For example:
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

Using the GetArrayRefreshStatus tool

Use the GetArrayRefreshStatus tool to obtain the following values:
• Cache initialization state
• Cache refresh status
• Cache refresh completion percent

NOTE: The HPEVA_ArrayRefreshStatus class uses only arrays that are in a good state
when calculating refresh percentages.
To obtain the values using GetArrayRefreshStatus:

58 HP SMI-S EVA configuration

 1. Open a command prompt window (C:\).
2. Set the path to the specified directory, as shown in the following example:

In Windows environments, you may not be able to achieve the proper Internet Explorer settings
on a management server with Microsoft's IE ESC or other policy-enforced preconfigured settings.
If you are browsing from an IE ESC-configured management server, you must remove IE ESC and
manually configure Internet Explorer with the required HP P6000 Command View browser settings.

For array-based management

You must configure the server you are using to access HP P6000 Command View with the browser
settings noted in this section.

Configuring Internet Explorer for single sign-on 65

 Table 15 (page 66) describes the browser settings for Internet Explorer. The settings are not
all-inclusive; only those settings that apply to HP P6000 Command View are listed. If a setting

Mozilla browser settings

Table 16 (page 68) describes the browser settings for Mozilla. The settings are not all-inclusive;
only those settings that apply to HP P6000 Command View are listed. If a setting appears in bold,
you must configure the setting as described.
The recommended settings generally enable the browser to display HP P6000 Command View
fonts and page layouts correctly. Many UNIX environments, however, do not handle fonts and
page layouts consistently, so you may want to make adjustments to obtain the most readable HP
P6000 Command View page layouts. For example, setting your browser for large fonts may cause
the HP P6000 Command View property tables to appear crowded and unreadable. If this occurs,
reduce the font size for your browser.
