HP Storage Management Pack Conflicts with Network Monitoring SNMP

The HP Storage management pack that I installed requires starting the Windows SNMP services, which creates a conflict with SNMP used for SCOM network monitoring. I am spinning up a second SCOM mangement server so I can split these functions. What would
you recommend to split these functions across the two management servers? Uninstall the HP Storage Management Pack, and install on the new server? Or move the network monitoring to the second server?
Thank you for your help!

Does the HP Storage pack support resource pools? What I've found with these 3rd party packs that implement connector services is they do not provide true HA via SCOM resource pools - they are standalone systems with a connector service. This is true for
the NetApp (DataONTAP) pack, and it's a huge disappointment.
Vendors do this because they have an API, and they think the only way to implement discovery and monitoring in SCOM is to create a service that accesses the API - and then the service is basically a collector in this case, and typically has a handful of
rules (sometimes just one rule) that scrape events on the management server and they are misinterpreted to be alerts coming from some instance.
I turn green when I run into this type of problem, because all this can be accomplished with native modules or managed code that are designed to work very well with SCOM.
I know this doesn't answer your question - it's more a way for me to express my distain for these type of packs.

HP Storage Management Pack v4.0 for Operations Manager

Hi everyone,
I've installed HP StoreFront Manager MP for Microsoft 4.0 (HP Storage Management integration with MS System Center) on a Ops Mgr 2012 R2 Server
The diagram view of the two P4500 G2 StoreVirtual Appliances are shown without issue.
However I cannot get any alerts, error alerts, events, warning events showing in the HP Storage or HP StoreVirtual Storage MP folders
I've created new alert/event view/criteria "show data related to: HP Storevirtual SNMP trape catcher rule ALL
But this also shows nothing.
I've followed the HPStorageManagementPackforSystemCenterUserGuide-4.0.pdf to no avail.
Any ideas most appreciated.

HP Storage Management Pack woes

I seem to be having an issue since I imported this management pack into my test environment. I'm running SCOM 2012 R2 with v3 of the Storage pack and installed the SNMP Collector on an agent managed server. However when I installed the management
pack (3PAR) and enabled the 3PAR SNMP Trap Catcher discovery I did it against the Windows Computer Class instead of the specific server I wanted to target. Now all computers running the service SNMP TRAP are showing as discovered inventory generating alerts
of OpsMgr failed to run a WMI Query for WMI events.
I tried to stop this by creating a new override for disabling the discovery and setting it to enforce. Then using the Remove-SCOMDisabledClassInstances cmdlet but it's made no difference.
I've also tried clearing the cache on individual agents.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I had exactly the same issue this week. My DB filled up with event logs. Once I realised I had targeted the whole Windows Computer Class, I removed the enable override for the SNMP Trap Catcher object discovery, but the events continued to pile in.
In the end I had to remove all of the HP Storage v3.1 MPs and start again.
Currently having new issues now with a P2000 that is reporting in via SCOM's Native Discovery, but won't appear under the HP Storage MP. Now looking to use a collection point for the traps that ISN'T one of the SCOM Management servers, as it appears there
is a known issue with this......
On page 123 of the HP Storage MP user guide:
Known Behavior
Unable to collect SNMP traps from HP Storage Management Pack for System Center. Microsoft has implemented a workaround from OpsMgr to move the SNMP trap collection server to a separate Management server which is not a part of Network Resource Pool/Discovery
Server. This will allow the SNMP Trap service to listen on port 162 and collect traps.
Sheeeesh..
And just realised that ther is now a new MP called HP StoreFront Manager 4.0 which seems to effectively be the latest version of HP Storage MP:

HP Storage Management Pack 3.0

Hello,
Is any one successful in getting diagram view of HP storage devices using HP Storage Management Pack 3.0 for SCOM 2012. I could successfully send SNMP test traps from storage nodes to SCOM server. My configuration is Gateway server in an untrusted
domain and have trouble connecting HP Storage Management Pack User Configuration Tool.exe
application to SCOM server from GW server domain. It is not clear which port is used by this tool/application to communicate with SCOM server. Any pointer in this regard is highly appreciated.

Installing Cisco E3000, conflict with Network Magic

I have replaced, for security reasons, my old Belkin with the Cisco E3000. The installation disk runs and then says will not configure router. I tried Cisco Router chat but they say it is a Network Magic problem, because the software in the install disk conflicts with Network Magic. I have checked my firewall (Sunbelt's Vipre) and did not see any problem. I am running XP SP3. I also uninstalled all the Belkin entries I can find, rebooted, and still it would not install. Somewhere, in Network Magic, has to be the process in which I need.
Information to help in diagnosis:
Network Magic version 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
Cable Connection
Cable modem is a Motorola, SB 5100
Router I am trying to install: Cisco E3000. Since it won't setup, I can't give you any info
Router Connection: Wired
Ethernet port is a PCI Card
Windows XP SP 3 with all updates
Firewall from Sunbelt software, the Vipre product versions 4.0.3904, updated 30 minutes ago
Vipre also applies to the Anti-Virus
My physical locating is Western PA, USA
I was able, with the router setting up, connect to the internet simply by plugging in the router to the modem and then PC. Plugging in the router to the cable modem was part of the setup procedure. Connecting to the PC was something I did via Network Magic. This did not set up the router.

SQL Management Pack Agent Job Unit Monitors

I am trying to utilize the SQL Agent Job Monitors included with the SQL Management Pack (page 81 of the MP guide), particularly the "Last Run Status" monitor. I have set an Override for "Generate Alerts" to True. The goal
is to have an email notification sent when any SQL Agent job fails on a specific group of computers. However, I am not familiar enough with what "Last Run Status" is actually monitoring and if it will do what I am looking for. Does this monitor
check the job status of any agent job on the target group? I tried setting up a job for it to fail, which it does fail, but it does not generate an alert. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

1) For monitoring SQL server job status, you can refer to the following blog
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2011/08/05/how-to-monitor-sql-agent-jobs-using-the-sql-management-pack-and-opsmgr.aspx
2) For troubleshoot: Make sure that your SQL agent job is discovered, you may find the discovered job under Microsoft SQL Server --> SQL Agent --> SQL agent job status. By default, the discovery is disabled and you should enabled the discovery by using
override.
Roger
Thanks. So I enabled Agent Job discovery for the systems that I want. It discovered those objects. Now, I still cannot get the alerting to work. I can see the Health State of the job change to a Warning, indicating "Last Run Status" equals Failed, but
it is not generating an alert. I set Overrides (Generates Alert = True) on a Group that included one of the job objects, nothing. I also set the same Override directly on the job object and I still do not receive an alert. Any ideas? I
noticed someone in the comments mentioned in the blog you linked, a similar issue, except with the Job Duration monitor. However, he was able to get alerts to generate by setting the Override directly on the Job object and noted that it is not a
feasible solution due to the number of jobs he wants to monitor. Again, I tried the same, but still could not get alerts. That solution would not be acceptable for me either because of the number of jobs that I would have to set individual Overrides for.

Do we need both management Pack and ADP for monitoring SOA suite 11g

Hi,
Do we need to Both management pack and ADP (OCAMM) Application Dependancy and Performance for monitoring SOA Suite 11g.
I was creating a monitoring template for SOA Composite and SOA Infrastructure and wanted to know if I need to install additional ( management packs, ADP and Middleware Plugins ) packs to get an effective template.

A management pack generally refers to the set of pages in EM Grid/Cloud Control which provide functionality for a given set of target types. Since EM Grid Control 11g, the ADP functionality has been part of the Grid Control release and the pages licensed via the Management Pack Plus for SOA or the SOA Management Pack EE.
To populate the ADP pages with data, additional steps must be performed in order to deploy an ADP manager and ADP agents. Doing this is optional, depending on whether or not you require the additional capability that those pages provide.
ADP data, however, are collected and stored separately from the core GC/CC metrics and are not related to the monitoring template functionality.

Custom (not HP's) EVA storage management pack

Hello,
I have found this management pack
http://www.systemcentercentral.com/pack-catalog/hp-eva-performance-management-pack-v3/ for monitoring HP EVA P6000, thanks for authors, but discoveries are not working, I have SCOM 2012 R2 and HP CommandView is on Win2008R2, I have imported both MPs,
installed agent on CommandView server, also checked registry entries, just in case restarted scom agent, but in the Monitoring pane there is not data about EVA disks, could you please help?

Hi,
did you read EvaPerf MP guide. You have some prerequisites?
1. You must create the c:\temp folder on the
HP StorageWorks Command View (EVAPerf) server
2. In the document under Optional Configuration see how to register friendly names for EVA.
3 Most important:
EVAPERF Discovery is disabled by default. It’s a seed (base) discovery for all other objects. You must enable this discovery with override to discover any other class instances that
are defined in in EVA Performance Management Pack v3.
So follow the guide and you should configure MP with no problems.
Hope it helps,
Janez
Hello, yes, before posting I did 1 and 3, but I did not specify friendly name, this is optional I think?

PCI USB2 Controller card conflicts with network card

I've installed a PCI USB2 controller card since my motherboard (IWill K266-R) only has support for USB1. However, the card seems to conflict with one of my network cards, because traffic on the internet-connected NIC is very slow, and often drops completely. Traffic to and from the other (local) NIC seems to work fine, though.
I have tried moving around all three cards in different PCI slots, I think I've tested almost every possible combination by now. I've also tried disabling as much as possible in BIOS, such as onboard sound, serial and parallel ports etc. I've tried lowering the FSB.
For now, I've removed the controller card, and is using the USB1 ports on the motherboard instead. This is very frustrating, though.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what I can try next? I've browsed forums, both this and others, but I haven't found any more hints on what to try. Could there be some setting in Arch that could affect these sorts of things?

"I guess the ATA100 card will work fine correct?"
If you mean large drive support, it may provide that or may require a firmware update to do so. You should check the manufacturer's web site for specifics. All ATA-133 cards do provide 48-bit LBA for large drive support. I'd return the Ultra ATA-66 card to the eBay seller, although many refuse to pay for return shipping, even when the mistake is their own, either through ignorance or deliberate misrepresentation. In cases such as this, it's sometimes more cost-effective to swallow the loss and keep the incorrect part.
"Will adding a jumper apply for a ATA100 card as well? I'll need a blue and gray ribbon correct?"
If you use an 80-conductor ribbon cable with color-keyed connectors, set the drive configuration jumper to CS and connect the drives to the cable as you wish (in terms of physical placement in the computer). If the ribbon cable doesn't have color-keyed connectors, set the jumper for the device connected to the end connector as Master and the drive (if any) connected to the middle connector as Slave.

How to use long capture filter with Network Monitor 3.4 command line

I want to exclude all traffic from a list of subnets in my capture. This makes for a rather long and complex filter. Is there any option on the command line to refer to a file describing this filter or can one only use the /capture "my extremely long
filter" command? So, I would have to make the entire thing into one line?

I suppose if it's longer than 2048 or 4096, there will be a command line length limitation. Maybe there's a way to work around it with a environment variable, but I think there will always be a limit. Perhaps there's an easier way to right your
filter? Can you use something like the subnet example in the library to shorten the filter.
Also, do you think your filter will affect capturing speed. The more complex the filter, the longer it takes to evaluate each incoming message. That means we have to buffer, and if the firehose is too much, we don't catch all the water :)
If the UI can keep up, then it shouldn't be a problem, but some firehoses are bigger than others. Plus, there driver filters which can filter faster for NMCap.
Moving forward, Message Analyzer (http://blogs.technet.com/blogs), is the replacement for Network Monitor, which can do the same most of the same kinds of capabilities, but using powershell. I think you'd
have more flexibility with variable lengths there. Plus you can script fancy things.

Scanning the network for devices with Network Monitor

At the moment there are no way to scan your network for devices. And I think there is a good reason for not doing so. If your users shut down their PC when their day is done - do you need an alert for that?
They way this is designed is for you to decide which devices is the most important, so much that it demands live monitoring.

Are they going to add the ability to scan the network for devices instead of having to manually add them? I've seen it in the inventory management but can't find a way to do it in the Network Monitor. I apologise if you can already do this but I haven't figured it out myself.
