4 Monitoring and troubleshooting the storage system
The storage system provides several monitoring and troubleshooting options. You can access the
following troubleshooting alerts and solutions to maintain the system health:
• Notification alerts
• System Management Homepage (SMH)
• Hardware component LEDs
• EMU CLI SHOW commands
• HP and Microsoft support websites
• Microsoft Systems Center Operations Manager (SCOM) and Microsoft websites
• HP SIM 6.3 or later, which is required for proper storage system/HP SIM integration.
NOTE: Integration with HP SIM is only supported using the WBEM/WMI interfaces. Do not
attempt to configure HP SIM to use the ProLiant SNMP agents, because the configuration is
untested and unsupported. The ProLiant SNMP agents are enabled on the storage system by
default and should not be disabled as they are used for internal management functions. If they
are enabled for external client consumption, HP SIM must be configured so it does not attempt
to communicate with these agents.
NOTE: WBEM events for storage are logged into Windows Application logs and WBEM events
for Server and Enclosure are logged into Windows System logs.
If you are unable to resolve a storage system operation issue after using the various options, contact
HP Support. You must provide your SAID and your warranty and entitlement labels. See “Obtaining
the Service Agreement ID” (page 69) and “Locating the storage system warranty entitlement label”
(page 69).
Using notification alerts
When you receive an alert, open the System Management Homepage or HP SIM to obtain more
detailed information.
IMPORTANT: While the notification alerts report issues as they arise, it is still important to monitor
the storage system regularly to ensure optimal operation.
Configuring Alerts and Email
Configure Alerts and Email in ICT to send email notification of system events.
IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you configure Alerts and Email (and also install HP Insight
Remote Support) to ensure that you are proactively alerted to issues. Proactive notification enables
you to address issues before they become serious problems.
