23 Storage device monitor

The following information describes how to add and modify monitors for storage devices, and how to

view the monitor reports.
APM supports common storage device monitors and HP MSA P2000-specific application monitors. An
HP MSA P2000 application monitor supports more monitoring functions than a common storage device

application monitor.

Common storage device application monitor

APM use common storage device application monitors to monitor the storage devices that support the
SMI-S standard.
The SMI-S implementation varies by storage device vendor. APM might not be able to obtain some

information of a monitored storage device due to SMI-S implementation differences.
The following information describes how to add and modify a common storage device application
monitor, and how to view the monitor report.

Adding a common storage device application monitor

When you add a common storage device application monitor, follow these guidelines:

Add the storage device to be monitored to the IMC platform.
For a storage device managed in the IMC platform, APM obtains and displays network connection

information of the storage device and its access devices in the application topology. For more
information about adding storage devices to the IMC platform, see H3C IMC Base Platform

Administrator Guide.

Contact the storage device administrator to obtain the username and password of a user with the
monitor privileges and the access rights to HTTPS/HTTP and SMI-S. The username and password

are required for adding the application monitor.

To add a common storage device application monitor:

1.

Click the Resource tab.

2.

Enter the Add Application page in one of the following ways:

{

From the navigation tree, select Application Manager > Add Application.

{

From the navigation tree, select Application Manager > Application Monitor. In the application
monitor list, click Add.

The Add Application page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.

3.

Click Common Storage Device of the Storage Device Monitor class.
The page for adding a common storage device application monitor appears.

4.

Configure the following parameters:

{

IP Address—Enter the IP address of the storage device to be monitored. APM automatically
checks the IP address and associates the application monitor with the storage device if it is

already managed in the IMC platform. To monitor a storage device that is already managed in
