Viewing additional information
You can view additional information for controller and controller termination events by clicking the
following links in the event description:

•
More details
Corrective action code
The corrective action code (CAC) shows you the recommended action to resolve the event. If the
event severity is informational, the CAC is 00 and there is no corrective action to take.
More details
Depending on the host operating system, the More details link directs you to open or save the
cveva00000x.txt
file. This file is generated by the controller and pulls descriptions from various
event logs, including the controller port number. For port identifiers, see the Enterprise Virtual Array
user guide for your storage system.
Configuring event notification
You can configure HP P6000 Command View to send an SNMP-compliant notification to any
vendor's SNMP-compliant management product such as Insight Manager, Tivoli, or EMC Patrol.
Event logs contain information about events that have occurred. In HP P6000 Command View,
you can configure:
•
Which EVA events (individually or by severity level) cause a notification to be sent
•
Which SNMP-enabled servers will receive P6000 Command View's notifications
•
Which SNMP protocol to use (SNMPv1, SNMPv2, or SNMPv3)
NOTE: For SNMPv3, 50005 is the default port for trap reception at HP Systems Insight Manager
(SIM). When discovering the port through HP SIM, use 0x800000e80450363030304356 as
the Engine ID. For more information on configuring SNMPv3 user and changing the default port
on HP SIM, see the HP SIM User Guide version 7.2 and HP SIM 7.2.1 Release Notes.
To configure SNMPv3 traps:
After selecting SNMPv3 protocol type, you must create a security user. The security user details
must be same as the user details provided in HP SIM while configuring SNMPv3 in HP SIM.
To configure SNMPv3 traps, specify port 50005. To configure SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 traps, either
specify port as SNMP or 162.
For instructions for creating your own event configuration file, see the documentation for your
SNMP-compliant product.
Configuring host notification
You can specify the hosts that receive the SNMP traps that the management server generates for
events. Any SNMP-enabled host in the same network as the array can be used.
You can enter individual hosts or you can apply a customized host notification list to HP P6000
Command View.
Entering hosts individually
To enter hosts individually:
1.
From the Initialized Storage System Properties window, click System options.
The System Options window opens.
2. Select Configure SNMP/event log notification.
