HSV SNMP Intelligent Event Module
Intelligent Event Module Basics
The HP StorageWorks HSV SNMP Intelligent Event Module
(IEM) enables you to automate real-time monitoring of HP
®
StorageWorks
HSV SNMP and capture the critical
information you need for effective enterprise management.
Events
The HP StorageWorks HSV SNMP IEM provides
ConsoleWorks
®
with a watch-list of all the text messages,
including error codes, system warnings, and status alerts,
produced by unsolicited SNMP traps sent from
StorageWorks HSV controllers. ConsoleWorks uses these
messages, called Events, as the targets that it scans for in
the data streams of your managed devices.
When ConsoleWorks detects an Event, it alerts you to the
Event as it is happening, records the circumstances
surrounding the Event, and automatically performs the
default or customer-configured responses associated with
that Event.
Scans
IEMs come with Events pre-arranged in logical groupings,
called Scans
. Working with a Scan—or a combination of
Scans—instead of hundreds of individual Events simplifies
managing Events across your enterprise.

Using the HP StorageWorks HSV SNMP IEM
To use this IEM, download it from the TDi web site, import it
into ConsoleWorks, and then associate Scans from the IEM
with a StorageWorks HSV controller.
When you associate Scans with a controller, you are
specifying that ConsoleWorks monitor the data streams of
this controller for the Events contained in those Scans.
Note: You must obtain a license for the HP StorageWorks
HSV SNMP IEM prior to using the module. To obtain the

Associate the Scans
Associate the Scans with controllers you want ConsoleWorks
to monitor. ConsoleWorks offers you the following options for
associating Scans:
Associate individual Scans with one or more controllers.
Associate multiple Scans with one or more controllers.
Create a Scan containing only the Events you want
monitored and associate this customized Scan with one
or more controllers.
Note: While you can associate any Scan with any
application, system, or device, only associate a Scan with the
application, system, or device appropriate for that Scan. For
instance, associate only Cisco Scans with Cisco switches
and McData Scans with McData switches.
For detailed instructions on associating Scans, please refer
to the ConsoleWorks Admin/User Guide.
