FibreCAT SX
1 Monitoring FibreCAT SX systems with ServerView Operations Manager
FibreCAT SX is an extensive Fibre Channel storage system that can be used both as a directly connected system and in Storage Area Network (SAN) environments. The advanced software functions permit uninterrupted operation with the very highest levels of availability and at the same time offer disaster protection.
The strengths of FibreCAT SX systems lie in their scalability and high levels of reliability. They enable tight integration and smooth interaction between servers and storage systems.
FibreCAT SX systems support an open, heterogeneous environment. This means that FibreCAT SX systems are versatile and can be deployed flexibly in distributed, multi-vendor environments and in computer centers. Upgrading capacity is a simple operation that can be performed online.
The ServerView Operations Manager (referred to simply as the Operations Manager below) allows you to monitor FibreCAT SX storage subsystems (referred to simply as FibreCAT SX below) and to query detailed information on the individual FibreCAT SX systems.
This document describes
– the preparations required to monitor FibreCAT SX systems with the Operations Manager:
See Preparing for FibreCAT SX monitoring.
– how to use the Operations Manager to monitor FibreCAT SX systems and query detailed information on the FibreCAT SX systems:
See Monitoring FibreCAT SX systems with the ServerView Operations Manager.

... preparations Monitoring with the Operations Manager
1.1 Preparing for FibreCAT SX monitoring
To be able to monitor FibreCAT SX systems using the Operations Manager, a number of measures need to be implemented on the management server and on the individual FibreCAT SX systems.
This section provides information on the following topics:
– Software requirements on the management server and the FibreCAT SX system
– Installing the software on the management server and the FibreCAT SX system.
– Activities after installation
6 FibreCAT SX
Monitoring with the Operations Manager ... preparations
1.1.1 Software requirements
The following software requirements apply for monitoring FibreCAT SX systems with the Operations Manager.
1.1.1.1 Software required on the management server (Windows)
– Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
The Windows SNMP services must be installed and configured.
– Sun Java Runtime Environment JRE
– ServerView S2 as of V4.50 or ServerView Operations Manager V4.70
– ServerView Storage Manager (StorMan) as of Version 1.3 or higher
1.1.1.2 Software required on the FibreCAT SX system
– Firmware: J110 or J200
– The SNMP service must have been set up for the storage processor.
You can set the SNMP parameters either at the Web interface or via CLI on the Management Controller:
Ê Under the Web interface, choose:
Manage – Event Notification – SNMP Configuration
or
Ê Enter the command set snmp-parameters at the CLI.

... preparations Monitoring with the Operations Manager
1.1.2 Installing the software
Proceed as follows:
1. Install the Sun Java Runtime Environment on your management server.
You will find the software on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite Software CD or you can download it at:
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/prim_supportcd/start.html
2. Install the ServerView Operations Manager on your management server.
You will find the software on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite Software CD or you can download it at:
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/prim_supportcd/start.html
3. Install ServerView Storage Manager (StorMan) on your management server.
You will find the software on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite Software CD or you can download it at:
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/prim_supportcd/start.html
4. Check the Release Notice to see what combinations of versions are supported for the ServerView Operations Manager and ServerView Storage Manager (StorMan).
5. Use the following commands to check the version and status of the Storage Manager (StorMan) installation on your management server:
C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\StorMan\bin>storinfo and C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\StorMan\bin>storcheck
I The SMI-S Provider is integrated in the storage processor (RAID controller) of the FibreCAT SX system. This means that you do not have to install the SMI-S Provider separately.
You can query the status of the SMI-S Provider using the graphical interface of the FibreCAT SX system.

1.1.3 Activities after installation
After you have successfully installed the software, proceed as follows:
1. Refer to the README file for ServerView Storage Manager (StorMan) for information on any last-minute changes.
2. Ensure that the StorMan service has been started.

Server list Monitoring with the Operations Manager
1.2 Monitoring FibreCAT SX systems with the ServerView Operations Manager
With FibreCAT SX systems, the ServerView Storage Manager (StorMan) software provides the necessary information to the ServerView Operations Manager to allow the information to be displayed in ServerView. A special storage subsystem icon indicates FibreCAT SX systems in the server list.
1.2.1 Integrating FibreCAT SX in ServerView alarm management
In order to allow SNMP traps from the FibreCAT SX system to be passed to the Operations Manager, you must configure the Event Monitor.
I The SMI-S Provider integrated in FibreCAT SX is automatically regis-tered in the StorMan database by the ServerView Operations Manager as soon as the Operations Manager has detected the FibreCAT SX system.
I You can specify what events are forwarded by specifying the error severity/error category. It is even possible to select individual events.

Monitoring with the Operations Manager Server list
1.2.2 Showing FibreCAT SX systems in the Operations Manager server list
This completes all preparations for monitoring FibreCAT SX systems using the ServerView Operations Manager.
To add a FibreCAT SX system to the server list, add one of the two storage processors (RAID controllers) for this system to the server list:
1. Open the Server Browser window in the Operations Manager.
2. Add the storage processor (RAID controller) to the server list:
a) Enter the IP address of the storage processor (RAID controller) in the Server Address tab.
b) Click the Search button.
c) Leave the remaining default settings unchanged.
d) Confirm your entries by clicking Apply.
3. If you also wish to add the second storage processor (RAID controller) to the server list (this is not required):
a) Enter the IP address of the storage processor (RAID controller) in the Server Address tab.
b) Click the Search button.
c) Change the name of the storage processor.
d) Leave the remaining default settings unchanged.
e) Confirm your entries by clicking Apply.
I It is necessary to change the name of the second storage processor because all objects configured for the server list must have unique names.

Server list Monitoring with the Operations Manager
The FibreCAT SX system is then shown in the server list:

1.2.3 Showing detailed information on the FibreCAT SX system
You query information on a FibreCAT SX system by clicking the FibreCAT SX system you require in the ServerList window. This opens the SV - Storage window, where you can view Status Overview.
I Note that when FibreCAT SX systems are displayed in the ServerView Operations Manager, vendor-independent terminology is used.
