Monitoring MSA's

Hi,

I have a problem, I need to monitor the disk status of some MSA 2000's using NPM. Does any one have any experience of this and can point me in the right direction? i.e. I need to know as soon as one fails.

Hi Rohop--

You'll need to use NPM's Universal Device Poller (UnDP) along with the correct OID to poll the device for when it fails.

HP provides the MIB files w OIDs for MSA2000 as a download:

Also, see the "Monitoring MIBS with Universal Device Pollers" section (physical page 235) of the Solarwinds Orion Network Administrator Guide for information on creating a UnDP.

Finally, check out this thread for more information.

Hi RoHop--

Another thing to try is our Profiler product, which is designed specifically for storage management. Click on the link for more information and a demo.

Hope you don't mind if I go in reverse order. Unfortunately I have already tried profiler, only to go to support and find that msa 2000's aren't supported by profiler, which was quite disappointing.

What I did was just to set up a rule for the traps so that when the msa sends out a trap it will alert send out a mail. As far as I know dothill (who hp bought to get the MSA 2000 family) never released an oid to monitor disk status, but if it works on traps then it is all good!

Thanks!
