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
Console

Works

®

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. Console

Works

uses these

messages, called Events, as the targets that it scans for in
the data streams of your managed devices.

When Console

Works

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.

Associate the Scans

Associate the Scans with controllers you want Console

to monitor. Console

Works

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
