Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 What's New New Supported Platforms Brocade SAN Switch DataDirect Networks (DDN) Dell PowerVault TL2000 and TL4000 tape libraries Hitachi HDS Disk Arrays IBM DS6000, DS8000 Disk Arrays IBM TS3100 tape libraries IBM TS3200 tape libraries IBM v7000 Disk Arrays Fujitsu-Siemens PRIMERGY servers running VMware Fujitsy-Siemens Serverview Miscellaneous A new additional configuration property is available to disable a specific connector for a managed element in rsm.properties: Disable Connectors (net.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.disabledConnectors.=connector1.hdf,connector2. hdf,connector3.hdf). 10 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 On HP Blade Chassis monitored using SNMP, the product now excludes temperature sensors that do not have a valid temperature value (and thus also an invalid threshold) or a valid status. The product now supports multi-tier authentication schemes for WBEM connections, and notably connections to VMware ESXi hosts that require an authentication through VMware vCenter. A temperature sensor with the status of "N/A" (i.e. one that only has a numeric value) was not being interpreted correctly, leading to the entire sensor's status being reported as "unknown" rather than a status based on the numeric temperature. Changes and Improvements Improved Platforms Support Dell servers with iDRAC7 or later: The KM now supports Dell's new iDRAC7 management card, which provides full hardware information about Dell server. Dell PowerEdge M1000e Chassis: The MS_HW_DellCMC.hdf connector now monitors the overall status of each blade installed in the chassis and makes possible the collect of the ambient temperature sensor in most recent versions of the Dell CMC firmware. Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER: The product provides enhanced support for Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER servers running Solaris. The “sun4us” hardware class is now supported as the “sun4u” class. Hitachi HDS Disk Arrays: This version of the KM provides a new connector specifically designed and optimized for Hitachi HDS Disk Arrays. It adds new parameters and significantly reduces resources needed to monitor a Hitachi Disk Array. This connector replaces the SMI-S Compliant Disk Arrays connector which is therefore withdrawn from the productwhich no longer needs to be used for Hitachi storage systems. IBM Blade Chassis - The connector for IBM Blade Chassis has been improved to: add a status parameter for Fan Modules collects an accurate Power Consumption add monitoring of 3rd and 4th Fan Modules in chassis with 4 Fan modules Monitor second temperature sensor for BladeCenter HT chassis IBM DS6000/DS8000 Disk Arrays: The product provides improved monitoring for IBM DS6000/ DS8000 Disk Arrays. It adds new parameters, provides more details, better identifies the different components in the system and significantly reduces resources needed to monitor an IBM DS6000/ DS8000. Oracle servers: The KM now provides support for Oracle servers (formerly known as Sun servers) through their ILOM card. Miscellaneous The product provides improved monitoring for network ports on a server running Solaris 11 and where the network port's Device Instance ID is not the same as its Link Assigned Name. (e.g. the physical port device ID is e1000g0 and the ifconfig name is net0). On HP ProLiant, the monitoring of the physical cards in a NIC teaming configuration is now performed by the regular connectors (MIB2, WMI, etc.). The “HP Insight Management Agent – Network” connector now monitors the status of the logical interface only. StorageTek StreamLine Tape Library: The status of the tape drives is now properly interpreted. Dell PowerEdge: The product will now use Dell's Location codes (Nexus) to identify disks. This Nexus identifier better represents the true location of the disk. The monitoring IBM VIO Servers has been significantly improved. The product: better recognizes and adapts to restricted and unrestricted shell interfaces when connecting to an IBM VIO Server. In an unrestricted shell interface, the standard IBM AIX connectors will be used instead of the specific IBM VIO Server connector 11 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 monitors Disk Controllers and LUNs (AvailablePathcount) provides an ErrorCount parameter for Physical Disks. Also, the Status parameter has been removed (No reliable physical disk status is available) The monitoring of recent versions of Linux (RedHat Enterprise Linux 6 a.k.a. RHEL6, SuSe Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 a.k.a. SLES 11 SP2, etc.) has been improved to allow support of the new output format used by the latest version of the multipath utility. BPM Express for Hardware now monitors HBAs in HP 9000 (PA-RISC) servers running HP-UX (link speed, link status and port status). Using the MS_HW_HPUXHBA.hdf connector requires root privileges. The PM provides enhanced support for Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER servers running Solaris. The “sun4us” hardware class is now supported as the “sun4u” class. The product now monitors Brocade SAN switches via Brocade's SMI Agent which provides information not available using SNMP, notably: Ports in Virtual Fabrics FCoE Ethernet Ports Fixed Issues Upgrading from version 2.7.27 to higher versions is now possible. In Cisco UCS blade chassis, the status of the blade servers was not properly reported when the blade had a specific user label configured. The following issues on HP ProLiant servers running VMware or Linux have been fixed: parameters for the network interfaces are now collected the LinkStatus of the network cards is now properly collected all network cards are now properly discovered 12 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 On IBM xSeries, the 6.3.2 version of the IBM Director agent reports voltage and temperature alert thresholds in a way that is inconsistent with the previous versions. The new connector takes into account this variation and support older and newer versions of the IBM Director Agent. CIn Cisco MDS and Nexus Switches, ports that were "Administratively Down" or "Out of Service" were previously reported as having a status of "Unknown". These ports will now report a status of "OK". The VMWare ESX Disks (Storage) and VMware ESX Disks (IPMI) connectors are now automatically deactivated if the SMI-S Compliant RAID Controller connector applies to the monitored system. Monitoring Sun/Oracle servers: when monitored through their ILOM card, voltage sensors no longer trigger false alarms. Also, when monitored through their ILOM card, the PredictedFailure parameter is now properly collected. The "Linux - Multipath" connector was wrongly activated on all Linux systems even though the system did not have any MPIO configuration and the multipath command line utility couldn't be found. The PM was unable to transfer and execute the embedded files, therefore connectors using the embedded files would not be used even though they pass the platform detection test. On IBM DS3000, DS4000 and DS5000 Series storage systems, physical disks with the status of "Bypassed" are now discovered and an appropriate alarm is generated. The HP Insight Management Agent–Server connector (MS_HW_CpMgServNT.hdf) triggered temperature alerts due to invalid thresholds. Some Sun SPARC systems do not report the color of the LED. Without the LED color, the product was unable to set the appropriate alert thresholds. BPM Express for Hardware now looks at the description of the LED to determine proper thresholds if the color is not available. On EMC Clariion and VNX storage systems, failed (or disabled, or removed) storage processors and controllers are now properly reported as such. On HP BladeSystem c7000 chassis, some temperature sensors were not properly discovered. IBM DS3000, DS4000, DS5000 Series Storage Systems: The name of the temporary file to store the output of the SMCLI command on the RSM was not generated properly. As a result, the monitoring failed with an “index out of range” exception. An issue leading to an infinite loop when trying to discover the Emulex HBA cards on servers running UNIX or Linux, prevented the product to collect hardware information and displayed the following message in the Application Collection Status parameter: "SentrySoftwareHardwareSentry-solution.Javaheapspace:SentrySoftware-SEN_HW_MAIN". The connector for Dell EqualLogic PS Series (MS_HW_Equallogic.hdf) no longer collects temperature values of zero, preventing alerts of type "Temperature: WARNING! (Problem: Although not yet critical, the temperature is abnormally high (0 degrees C))" from being generated. 13 Supported Platforms/Requirements BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Requirements for Managed Elements For BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware to collect information from a managed element, it requires specific instrumentation agents or system management tools to be present on the managed element. A specific hardware agent is often required on each managed element depending on its underlying components.

The vendor-specific instrumentation agents and system tools are generally provided with the servers and are available on the manufacturer website. Unless mentioned otherwise, these “agents” must be installed on the managed server for BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware to function properly. Please refer to the platform-specific guides available on the BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware page of the Sentry Software website. Please check our web site www.sentrysoftware.com to find the latest updates. Updates are in the form of patches for BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware. They are for free and do not need an upgrade of the PM itself, unless there are structural changes. 18 Getting Started BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware enables administrators to monitor the hardware of all their diverse servers on BMC© Portal. This is a single performance manager (PM) that is able to monitor the hardware of different server brands: IBM®, HP®, DELL®, Sun Microsystems®, NEC®, FujitsuSiemens® and many others. As this PM is specifically designed for the BMC Portal environment, it uses the Portal’s web-based interface and features for installing, managing and monitoring your Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. The full integration with BMC Performance Manager Portal provides a single customizable entry point for data from multiple sources and a single view that enables you to monitor the health and performance of your infrastructure Once installed, BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware requires no configuration and automatically detects the environment and starts monitoring the hardware: status of the disks and the RAID controllers, temperature of the system, speed of the fans, power supplies, network interfaces etc. For conv enience, BMC Performance Manager Ex press for Hardware is called BPM Ex press for Hardware within the product documentation (online and PDF formats) 20 Installation Guide BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 This chapter explains how to install and run BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware for BMC® Portal. As BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware is a performance manager specifically designed for the BMC© Portal environment, it uses the Portal’s web-based interface and features for installing, managing and monitoring your Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. The full integration with BMC® Portal provides a single customizable entry point for data from multiple sources and a single view that enables you to monitor the health and performance of your infrastructure. Once installed on one system in the Portal environment, you can add as many elements as you wish and BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware starts monitoring the hardware of all the connected systems within your BMC© Portal environment: status of the disks and the RAID controllers, temperature of the system, speed of the fans, etc. Targeted Computers BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware (called BPM Express for Hardware for short) is to be installed on the web-based BMC© Portal v2.5.00. Install on just one element within the BMC© Performance Manager Portal environment Ensure access to the Remote Service Monitor (RSM) program installed on a Windows system. The RSM program can be installed on the same system as the Portal if it is a Windows system. Once you install BPM Express for Hardware on one machine, you can then add as many elements (computers, servers, systems) as you require to your monitoring environment irrespective of whether they Windows, UNIX or Linux systems. Please note that BPM Express for Hardware v2.9.10 is not compatible with any version of BMC© Portal prior to v2.5.00.. Package The package for BPM Express for Hardware consists of just one PAR file. It is available on the BMC Software EPD site, as well as on the Sentry Software Website: BPM-Express-for-Hardware-.par This file is valid for installation on Windows and UNIX/Linux systems. Product updates and documentation in PDF and online formats are available on the Sentry Software Website. 22 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Note on RSM In general, an RSM is said to support the monitoring of 100,000 parameters. In the case of BPM Express for Hardware, it is difficult to calculate a precise number of parameters collected since this depends entirely on the element itself and the number of hardware objects: disks, fans, memory modules etc. discovered. On an average, between 2-5 parameters are collected for each object discovered. The number of hardware objects discovered, and the hence number of parameters collected, greatly varies from one managed element to another. The total number of parameters collected directly depends on the number of objects discovered on each element. The number of RSMs required would also depend on whether an RSM is dedicated to BPM Express for Hardware alone, or whether there are other PMs on the same RSM. It should be safe to assume that an RSM dedicated entirely to BPM Express for Hardware would be able to support approximately 150 elements, and an RSM shared by two or more PMs should on an average be able to support the monitoring of 80 to 100 elements. Installing Appropriate Hardware Agents In most cases, BPM Express for Hardware requires a third-party hardware instrumentation agent to collect information from the monitored computer. Each manufacturer develops platform-specific system management tools that collect hardware data and these tools are generally provided along with the server and are also generally available on the manufacturer website. Unless mentioned otherwise, the platform-specific instrumentation layer or system management tool must be installed on the managed systems for BPM Express for Hardware to function properly. Certain servers or systems could have more than one applicable “hardware agent”. You can refer to the Connector and Platform Reference Table to see which system tools/agents are required for your servers. The installation of the platform-specific “hardware agents” is to be done prior to the installation of BPM Express for Hardware. Additional information on the instrumentation agents for certain platforms may be found in platform-specific guides on the Sentry Software Website . Note on RSM 23 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Migration As part of the process of migrating to PM 2.7 from version 2.5.xx or 2.6.xx, all parameters will be removed and recreated for each element.  Only those parameters that are used will then be recreated (Unused, previously grayed out parameters will not be shown.)  Previous history for all parameters will be lost during this recreation process, however any previous events generated by those parameters will remain. BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.10 requires BMC© Portal v2.5.00 (minimum). It is fully compatible with the Portal v2.5.00 and upwards. Owing to structural changes from version 2.5.00, an automatic migration from previous versions (2.3.xx) of BPM Express for Hardware is not possible. Users of previous versions should remove the PM from all elements and completely uninstall the PM (v2.3.xx) before uploading and installing Version 2.9.10. If the previous version is not removed from the Portal and Version 2.9.10 is loaded, the two PMs will appear separately in the list of application classes, and the older version will continue to monitor elements. BPM Ex press for Hardware Version 2.9.10 is integrated with the new W MI collector patch of BMC Portal sdk. Installation of BMC’s W MI patch 2.5.00.033.zip (for Portal 2.5) or 2.6.00.004.zip (for Portal 2.6) is required before migration or installing Version 2.9.10. Installing BPM Express for Hardware Getting the BPM Express for Hardware PackageTo install BPM Express for Hardware on your Portal environment, you need: BPM-Express-for-Hardware-.par You can get this installation file by contacting BMC Software or by downloading it from the Sentry Software Website Prerequisites 1. BMC© Portal minimum version 2.5.00 2. At least one Remote Service Monitor program (RSM). See BPM Portal Management and Monitoring Guide for more details. 3. An account for BMC© Portal account with sufficient credentials Uninstall the previous version of the PM Owing to structural changes in the PM, no migration is possible from previous versions (2.3.xx) to v2.5.00 or higher. Once you install Version 2.9.10, the BPM Express for Hardware application class will Migration 24 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 not overwrite or merge with its previous versions (2.3.xx), but will instead appear in the list in addition to it, just like any other PM, and the previous version will continue to function. If you wish to use only Version 2.9.10 on all your elements, you need to completely uninstall and remove the previous version (2.3.xx) before installing Version 2.9.10. As part of the process of migrating to PM 2.7 from version 2.5.xx or 2.6.xx, all parameters will be removed and recreated for each element.  Only those parameters that are used will then be recreated (Unused, previously grayed out parameters will not be shown.)  Previous history for all parameters will be lost during this recreation process, however any previous events generated by those parameters will remain. Installation Procedure 1. Place BPM-Express-for-Hardware-.par file in a known location on your file system. No migration is possible from previous versions (2.3.xx) to v2.9.10 owing to structural changes. It is essential to uninstall the previous version (2.3.xx) from all elements before installing v2.9.10 as it will not overwrite or merge with the old version, but will instead just appear as an additional PM, and the old version will continue the monitoring.

An adapter for BMC Portal facilitates pulling of performance data from existing BMC Portal solutions into BMC ProactiveNet. Using an Adapter, you can import BMC Portal application classes (provided in a Performance Manager – PM) into BMC ProactiveNet. The Adapter periodically synchronizes the performance data collected by these application classes into BMC ProactiveNet.

We strongly recommend that you create a specific adapter for each PM you need to integrate into BMC ProactiveNet to enable the update of a single PM independently. Once created and imported, the Adapter will be displayed in the Devices folder of the BMC ProactiveNet Operations Console. Managing Baselines and Key Performance Indicators In order to facilitate the detection of abnormalities on your monitored environment, BMC ProactiveNet calculates baselines per parameter (metrics or attributes) based on values collected over a specified period of time to determine a normal operating range. When the collected values for these parameters are out of range, an alert is triggered. Some parameters are identified by default as Key Performance Indicators and therefore automatically included in the base lining calculation. Integrating with BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management 54 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Managing baselines The baseline is the expected normal operating range for a metric or attribute of a monitor. The baseline is calculated by collecting the values for a monitor’s attributes and metrics over a specified time period and establishing a low baseline value (consisting of the 10th percentile of all the values for a given time period) and a high baseline value (consisting of the 90th percentile of all the values for a given time period), taking a weighted average of these values over time. A higher weight is given to the latest data being factored into the baseline average. The accuracy of the baseline improves over time. Requirements for baseline generation For baselines to be generated for an attribute, that abnormality threshold means that the threshold exists and is not suppressed. Additionally, if the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) mode is active, only those attributes that have an active abnormality threshold and are also KPI attributes will have baselines generated for them. A bsolute thresholds (with "outside baseline") or signature thresholds do not satisfy these requirements. Managing Key Performance Indicators The KPI attribute of a parameter can be activated or deactivated manually through the BMC ProactiveNet Administration Console. In this PM, some parameters or attributes have been designated as important indicators of performance (KPIs). We do not recommend that these default settings are modified. However, advanced users may activate or deactivate KPIs from the BMC ProactiveNet Administration Console. To add or remove Key Performance Indicator (KPI) attributes for a monitor type 1. In the Administration Console, from the menu bar, choose Tools > KPI Administration. The KPI Administration dialog box is displayed. 2. From the Monitor Type list, choose the monitor type for which you want to add or remove KPI attributes. A list of attributes for the selected monitor type is displayed. 3. In the KPI column for the attributes that you want to add or remove as Key Performance Indicators: select the KPI check box to add the corresponding attribute as a KPI deselect the KPI check box to remove the corresponding attribute from the KPIs for that monitor type For complete and detailed information on this procedure, please refer to the BMC Proactiv eNet documentation av ailable from BMC W eb site. Parameters for which the system by default calculates baselines as well as parameters considered as Integrating with BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management 55 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 KPIs are respectively identified by the following icons: Baselining KPI Integrating with BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management 56 User Guide BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Prerequisites 1. BPM Express for Hardware is a PM for the Portal and therefore needs to be installed within the BMC© Portal environment. 2. As this is an agent-less performance manager for the web-based BMC© Performance Manager Portal, it can be installed on just one managed element equipped with the Portal. 3. Minimum version of BMC© Portal should be 2.5.00. 4. The RSM program should be installed on a Windows system (it can be the same as the Portal) 5. Install the vendor-specific instrumentation agents or system management tools on the managed elements to be monitored prior to installing the PM. See the platform-specific guides for details. 6. Download the product package i.e. a PAR file from BMC EPD or the Sentry Software Web site. How it Works BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware is a PM that enables BMC Portal to monitor computer hardware (disk status, temperatures, CPU, power supplies etc). It gathers hardware information from different sources such as manufacturer-specific agents, standard management technologies, SNMP, WBEM, etc., and displays this information within the Portal environment. In order to work properly, BPM Express for Hardware needs certain hardware information sources to be available. Depending on the platform, it relies on the manufacturer-specific instrumentation layer and/or on standard management technology such as WBEM or SNMP. On startup, BPM Express for Hardware automatically detects which hardware information source is available and then uses this to poll data on the hardware health of the computer. BPM Express for Hardware collects such data from each server and reports it in your Portal console. 58 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Monitoring ha rdwa re with BPM Ex pre ss for Ha rdwa re Overview of the mechanism of BPM Express for Hardware How it Works 59 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 The Siemens® ServerView® agent shows the temperatures, the fans, the power supplies and the voltages of the Siemens computer through SNMP The Mylex® GAM Server shows the status of the physical and logical disks of the Mylex RAID Controller through SNMP The Windows WMI provider shows the status of the physical disks attached to the standard SCSI controller through WBEM BPM Express for Hardware detects and automatically connects to all three information sources (Siemens ServerView, Mylex GAM Server and Windows WMI provider). BPM Express for Hardware gathers only useful hardware information from these sources and displays it within the Portal framework This is just an ex ample of the basic mechanism of BPM Ex press for Hardware and is applicable to IBM, NEC, HP and all other supported computers as well. Understanding BPM Express for Hardware within the Portal environment Here’s an overview of the basic outline of BPM Express for Hardware within BMC© Performance Manager Portal. The environment The BMC© Portal, is composed of a database, an application server, and a web server, and provides the access point for its utilities and modules. The BMC© Performance Manager Portal extends the features in the Portal, enabling you to leverage both agent-less technologies and the PATROL agent to monitor the availability and performance of your business infrastructure. BPM Express for Hardware is a based on agent-less technology, is designed for the Portal and uses the same web-based interface and Portal features common to all modules. The interaction BPM Express for Hardware is leveraged by the BPM Portal module that uses Remote Service Monitors (RSMs) to collect metrics about your infrastructure. An RSM is a computer on which you have installed the RSM program. Depending on the size of your environment, you can implement one or many RSMs. To know what to monitor on the specified infrastructure elements, the RSM uses PMs and therefore for hardware monitoring, it banks on the BPM Express for Hardware. All Performance Managers, and the application classes that they contain, are installed on the Portal, and saved in the Portal database when you select them from an installation CD or when you import them via the Portal user interface. Performance Managers that are installed on the Portal are available to all users on the Portal who have the appropriate user permissions. The figure below shows the interaction between BPM Express for Hardware and the Portal: How it Works 60 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Unde rsta nding BPM Ex pre ss for Ha rdwa re within the Porta l e nv ironm e nt Interaction between the PM and the Portal The above given data and diagram show you how remote monitoring of your hardware is possible on the Portal. Installation of BPM Express for Hardware on just one computer is sufficient for monitoring a heterogeneous infrastructure, as long as the vendor-specific hardware agents are installed on every managed element. Integrating BPM Express for Hardware BPM Express for Hardware is specifically designed for BMC© Portal and does not require any special integration process. Once properly installed within the BMC© Performance Manager Portal environment, the hardware information and status of the monitored elements should be available via the web browser used to access the Portal. Please refer to the Installation Guide for further details on the installation procedure. Understanding BPM Express for Hardware within the Portal environment 61 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 The Need for Vendor-specific Hardware Agents Often, the standard operating system layer is not a sufficient hardware information source and most computers require an additional manufacturer-specific agent for BPM Express for Hardware to function properly. In most cases, server vendors provide the required hardware monitoring agent for their server models. Depending on the platform, a single agent could monitor the temperatures, fans, voltages, power supplies and RAID systems, or, the platform may require separate agents for environment and disk monitoring. For example: The IBM Director Agent monitors and provides information about temperatures, fans, voltages, power supplies and the ServeRAID disks for IBM xSeries servers. On the other hand, the Siemens ServerView Agent only monitors the sensors on the motherboard of the server (temperatures, voltages, fans and power supplies) and so the Mylex GAM Server is required to monitor the Mylex RAID controller of the server. Please refer to the Connector and Platform Reference Table and the platform-specific guides for further details on vendor-specific agents required by BPM Express for Hardware. The Need for Vendor-specific Hardware Agents 62 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Monitoring with BPM Express for Hardware Once BPM Express for Hardware is installed on the elements, after having ensured that all pre-requisites are met, the hardware information is displayed automatically in Portal interface under: Element > Hardware () as shown below. Vie w of obje cts discov e re d by BPM Ex pre ss for Ha rdwa re Monitored components Depending on the managed system, BPM Express for Hardware monitors: Disks (RAID and non-RAID disks) Disk enclosures Fans Memory modules Network interfaces Power supplies Processors Temperature Voltage For details on which hardware components are detected on each sy stem, please see the Connectors & Platforms Reference Table in the Reference Guide and click on the Connector Name applicable to y our sy stem/ty pical platform. Monitoring with BPM Express for Hardware 63 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Inside BPM Express for Hardware Architecture BPM Express for Hardware is principally composed of a common hardware monitoring engine: BPMExpress-for-Hardware-.par containing the following files: SEN_HW_bcel-5.2-2.5.00_Build_214.jar SEN_HW_Hardware_2600-2.5.00_Build_214.jar. Detection Upon startup, BPM Express for Hardware tests each connector in order to detect which hardware information sources are available (vendor-specific hardware agents, standards instrumentation layers, etc.) This is called the detection process. Discovery Once BPM Express for Hardware knows which hardware information sources are available and can be connected to, it tries to discover the hardware environment by querying these selected hardware information sources, as described in the corresponding *.hdf files. This is called the discovery process. Collection Finally, when the detection and discovery processes are complete, BPM Express for Hardware starts collecting data about the discovered hardware environment (status, temperatures, voltages, etc.) by querying the detected hardware information sources as described in the corresponding *.hdf files. This is called the collection process. Here's a synopsis of the actions performed by BPM Express for Hardware: Action Description Activation Activates the main class Detection Tests each connector in order to detect which hardware information sources are available on the monitored element and can be connected to Detection is carried out when the Hardware class is added to an element and each time the RSM is restarted. Discovery Discovers the hardware environment by querying the previously detected hardware information sources Creates the other class instances (Temperature, Physical Disk, etc.) Discovery is carried out every hour. Collection Process Polls previously detected hardware information sources to gather data about the hardware environment Polling is carried out every 5 minutes. Inside BPM Express for Hardware 64 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 The Detection Process Once the BPM Express for Hardware class is added to an element, BPM Express for Hardware: 1. Gets the list of available connectors “*.hdf” files from %RSM_HOME%\RSMxx\server\rsm\tmp \deploy\tmpxxxxxSentrySoftware-HardwareSentry-solution-.par-native. 2. For each “.hdf” file found, BPM Express for Hardware tests the detection criteria (OS type, NT service, processes, SNMP request, etc.) 3. Marks the “.hdf” files as "detected" once all its detection criteria is successfully passed. There may be several connectors detected at one time (typically: one connector for the temperatures, voltages, etc., one for the RAID disk controller and one for the non-RAID disk controller) 4. Launches the discovery process Only one “.hdf” file can describe the computer model and manufacturer and only one icon for the computer will be created. The BPM Ex press for Hardware engine will ensure that only one “.hdf” describing the computer model will be marked as "detected". The Discovery Process The discovery process is launched just after the end of the detection process. It takes the following actions: Processes the "Enclosure.Discovery" section of the detected connectors (“.hdf”) that describe the computer model and create the main Hardware Sentry and computer icon (class: Enclosure). Most of other icons (environment, disks, devices etc) will be created under this computer icon. Launches the disk controller discovery that processes the "Disk Controller Discovery" section of each detected “.hdf” file and creates the Disk Controller icons. Launches the other discoveries (fans, temperatures, voltages, power supplies, logical disks, physical disks and other devices) that will process the corresponding sections of each detected “.hdf” file and create the corresponding icons. W ith a v iew to optimization, the discov ery process is as parallelled as possible. A ll independent objects are processed at the same time. The Collection Process Once the discovery process is complete, the collection process starts: Every five minutes, the BPM Express for Hardware spawns several paramlets that are responsible for the collection of information about a given device type. For example, the Fan paramlet will gather fan information from the different detected hardware information sources, as described in the corresponding “.hdf” Fan.Collect section. These paramlets are "attached" to the main BPM Express for Hardware icon (main class) and not to the corresponding classes and instances. When a device is marked as "missing" by the discovery process (i.e. had been discovered but is no longer discovered), the collection process no longer queries the hardware information source and simply sets the status of the object to alarm. Inside BPM Express for Hardware 65 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 The Connectors Each connector is an “.hdf” file that is dedicated to one source of hardware information. Each connector file describes how BPM Express for Hardware connects to the available hardware information source and what information is available through this source. For example, SEN_HW_Director41NT.hdf describes how to get information from the IBM Director 4.1 Agent and then monitor an IBM xSeries server. An “.hdf” file can tell the BPM Express for Hardware engine to do the following actions: Query a SNMP agent (get, get next, and tables) Execute a WBEM query (using WMI for Windows and the Pegasus implementation of WBEM for Linux) Execute an OS command (using TELNET and SSH) Each “.hdf” file uses a mix of these possible actions with some computing capabilities to make BPM Express for Hardware gather useful data in a given hardware information source. The “.hdf” files are deploy ed on the RSM at % RSM_HOME% \RSMx x \serv er\rsm\tmp\deploy \tmpx x x x x Sentry Software-HardwareSentry -solution-.par-nativ e. These files released by Sentry Software are encry pted and therefore cannot be updated or modified by the end-user. Monitoring Monitoring the hardware components with the BPM Express for Hardware is very simple. Once installed, as per the instructions given in the Installation Guide chapter, BPM Express for Hardware automatically detects all the various hardware components and displays them in the web-based interface. There is no configuration or setup to be done in order to monitor the hardware of your infrastructure. All you have to do is set/modify thresholds (if required) as per your specific requirements. This section gives details about all the components monitored by BPM Express for Hardware. The Basics BPM Express for Hardware requires no configuration to discover and monitor the hardware components within your BMC© Performance Manager Portal environment. Once the PM is installed after ensuring that all prerequisites have been as described in the Installation Guide (such as installing the manufacturer-specific hardware agents etc.), and the class is added to an element or Element Profile, an icon labeled Hardware () appears in the Portal interface and the PM discovers all the hardware components of the managed element. The discovered hardware components of the monitoring element are grouped under certain container Inside BPM Express for Hardware 66 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 icons. Here is a the structure of how the monitored elements are displayed in the Portal interface: Ha rdwa re Com pone nts Structure In the left pane of the Status tab, the hardware component icons are shortened as follows: Environment Fans - FAN Temperature - TEMP Power Supply - PS Voltage - VOLT Disks Logical disk - LD Physical disk - HD Disk Controller - CTRL Devices Monitoring 67 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Blade - BL Processors - CPU Memory Module - MEM Other Device - name of the actual "other device" as reported by the underlying instrumentation agent Network Interface - NET BPM Express for Hardware sets thresholds by default on all parameters, but you can modify the thresholds as per your specific requirements. The Reference Guide giv es details for each application class and their parameters. Monitoring the Enclosure On certain platforms, like DELL PowerEdge computers and IBM xSeries computers running Windows or Linux, BPM Express for Hardware can detect if the enclosure of the machine is open. This intrusion that is detected could mean that somebody has gained physical access to the machine, as well as its internal components, especially the physical disks with all the data. It is therefore quite helpful to monitor the enclosure status of servers. Depending on the platform, for each enclosure discovered, the Status, Power Consumption and Intrusion Status parameters are displayed. Monitoring the e nclosure Basically, the enclosure instance represents the computer's main chassis of the element. The Intrusion Status parameter, when available, raises an alert when the enclosure is opened. The Power Consumption parameter when available, displays the power consumed by the element in Watts. The Status parameter, if collected, represents the overall status of all the classes of monitored element. Monitoring 68 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Monitoring the Environment: Fans, Temperatures, Power-Supplies and Voltages BPM Express for Hardware automatically detects the information sources available on the monitored computer and displays the hardware information provided by those sources in the Portal interface. It is the Environment icon that regroups the icons created for each sensor found for Fans, Temperature, Power Supplies and Voltages. The icons are created automatically. In the left pane, click on an Element > Hardware () > Computer Type > Environment to see the discovered hardware components in detail in the right pane. Similarly by clicking on any hardware component in the left pane, you can see details about it in the right pane. For each monitored element, graphs & text reports are built by polling the parameter instances every five minutes. To view these graphs or text reports from the Status tab: Monitoring the Env ironm e nt: fa ns, te m pe ra ture s a nd v olta ge s 1. Click the parameter > click the corresponding History icon that appears in the right pane. 2. For parameters with numeric values or Boolean values such as: Temperature, Voltage, Speed, Speed Percent and Used Capacity, you can see the results either in Chart view (graph) or Table view (for parameters with text values) Alert Thresholds: Depending on the type of platform and sensors, and whenever possible, alert thresholds are automatically set by BPM Express for Hardware. When the parameter value breaches these thresholds, it is Status - a text parameter that displays the overall status for every instance, that triggers alerts, and a notification is sent out according to the options configured in the Portal. If a device appears to be missing, the Status parameter will trigger an alert. Alert conditions for Status describe in symbolic terms what occurs in the Status parameter when thresholds are breached: one exclamation mark triggers a warning; two exclamation marks raise an alarm. Example If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds for the device have been breached, the Status parameter will report for example: “WARNING! The fan speed is too low” or, Monitoring 69 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 “ALARM! This fan has stopped working” etc. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions. Fans To avoid temperatures that are too high, system manufacturers install fans on critical devices (processors, power supplies, etc.). Monitoring fans is important as they ensure a proper temperature for the system to work efficiently. Depending on the available information, the Speed and/or Speed Percent and/or Status parameters will be displayed for each detected fan device: The Speed parameter represents the speed of the corresponding fan in rotations/minute. An alert is triggered if the fan speed is too low for proper functioning. The Speed Percent parameter represents the speed of the corresponding fan in percentage of its maximal speed. The Status parameter represents the overall status of the fan. An alert is triggered if any of the parameters breach their respective thresholds. It is only Status that will trigger and display the alerts. When all is fine, Status shows “OK”, and when there is problem, it shows “WARNING!” or “ALARM!!” with a detailed description of the issue, its consequences and recommended actions. The alert conditions for Status are: “!”=WARNING; “!!”=ALARM . Example: “OK”, or, “ALARM!! This fan is not detected anymore”. Temperatures As with any electronic device, chips and other components of a computer stop working when the temperature rises too high (many unrecoverable errors, crashes and even hardware damage). Temperatures may rise too high when the device is abnormally overloaded, when a fan is not working properly or when the ambient temperature is too hot. Monitoring the temperatures of critical devices of your system allows you to take action before a crash occurs. Depending on the available information, the Temperature and/or Status parameters will be displayed for each detected temperature sensor: The Temperature parameter represents the current temperature reading in degrees Celsius (°C). The Status parameter represents the overall status of the temperature. An alert is triggered if the temperature rises to high, or i.e. if any of the other parameters breach their respective thresholds. It is only Status that will trigger and display the alerts. When all is fine, Status shows “OK”, and when there is problem, it shows “WARNING!” or “ALARM!!” with a detailed description of the issue, its consequences and recommended actions. The alert conditions for Status are: “!”=WARNING; “!!”=ALARM. Example: “OK”, or, “ALARM!!. The temperature is critically high”. Monitoring 70 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Power Supplies The power supply is the component that transforms the AC Line into electric power needed by the computer. Therefore the power supply is a highly critical device of a computer that should never fail. Due to this, many vendors build servers with redundant power supplies. Monitoring power supplies allows the operators to be alerted when a power supply fails, or even in some cases when a power supply is overloaded. Depending on the available information, the Used Capacity and/ or Status parameters will be displayed for each power supply or power unit device: The Used Capacity parameter represents the current power usage as a percentage. The Status parameter triggers an alert when the power supply’s maximum power output is reached. The Status parameter represents the overall status of the power supply. An alert is triggered if power output goes out of range, or i.e. if the parameter for breaches its thresholds. It is Status that will trigger and display the alerts. When all is fine, Status shows “OK”, and when there is problem, it shows “WARNING!” or “ALARM!!” with a detailed description of the issue, its consequences and recommended actions. The alert conditions for Status are: “!”=WARNING; “!!”=ALARM. Example: “WARNING! Problem: This power supply is in degraded state, or about to fail or “ALARM!! The power consumed by the system is out of the supported range". Voltages Power supplies convert the AC line power into voltages and currents needed by the motherboard of the computer. The stability of the motherboard (and therefore that of the overall computer) strongly depends on this power converter. Voltages that are too low or too high may lead to unpredictable system crashes. Monitoring the value of the different voltages needed by the motherboard will help in detecting unstable system instability. Depending on the available information, the Voltage and/or Status parameters are displayed for each voltage sensor on the motherboard: The Voltage parameter represents the voltage output in milliVolts (mV). An alert is triggered by the Status parameter if the voltage goes out of the proper range. The Status parameter represents the overall status of the voltage. It triggers an alert if the voltage output is too low for proper functioning or if it goes out of the proper range. It is only Status that will trigger and display the alerts. When all is fine, Status shows “OK”, and when there is problem, it shows “WARNING!” or “ALARM!!” with a detailed description of the issue, its consequences and recommended actions. The alert conditions for Status are: “!”=WARNING; “!!”=ALARM. Example: “OK” or “ALARM!! This voltage sensor is no longer detected". Monitoring Disks: Physical Disks, Logical Disks and Disk Controllers BPM Express for Hardware automatically detects the information sources available on the monitored computer and displays the hardware information provided by those sources in the Portal interface. It is the Disks icon that regroups the icons created for each sensor found for logical disks, physical disks, and disk controllers. If the components are detected, the icons are created automatically. In the Monitoring 71 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 left pane, click on an Element > Hardware () > Computer Type > Disks and see the discovered components in detail in the right pane. An icon is created for each storage-related device discovered: physical disks, logical disks and disk controllers. Each icon is labeled with a description of the device: ID, size, vendor, role, etc. By clicking on the disk in the left pane, you can see its details in the right pane. Monitoring disks: disk controlle r, phy sica l disks, logica l disks A n icon will be created for a disk controller only if its parameters discov er some v alues. If not, then the disk controller details will be mentioned in the "A ttached to" parameter of the logical/phy sical disk. Each of these disks also display which disk controller they are attached to. If a device appears to be missing, the Status parameter will trigger an alert. Status is a text parameter that describes the overall status of the corresponding device or sensor. It is the Status parameter that raises alerts when any of the other parameters for the device breach their thresholds. Alert conditions for Status describe in symbolic terms what occurs in the parameter when thresholds are breached: one exclamation mark triggers a warning; two exclamation marks raise an alarm. Example If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds have been breached, the Status parameter will report, for example: “WARNING! This disk is about to fail” or, “ALARM!! This logical disk is no longer detected” or as may be the case. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions. Physical Disks Physical disks must be monitored to avoid loss of data, unavailability and performance degradation. When available, the S.M.A.R.T. technology is used to warn of a disk failure before it occurs. Depending on the available information, the Predicted Failure, Error Count and Status parameters will be displayed for each discovered physical disk: Monitoring 72 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 The Predicted Failure parameter uses the S.M.A.R.T. technology to predict physical disk failures. An alert will be triggered by the Status parameter if it is predicted that the Physical Disk will soon break down. The Error Count parameter is incremented each time an error occurs on this physical disk. An alert is raised by the Status parameter from the first detected error. The Status parameter represents the overall status of the physical disk and an alert is triggered if the physical disk is not available for proper operation or if any of the other parameters breach their thresholds. The Status parameter represents the overall status of the physical disk. It triggers an alert if the physical disk is missing or not fully operational or if any of the other parameters have breached their thresholds. It is only Status that will trigger and display the alerts. When all is fine, Status shows “OK”, and when there is problem, it shows “WARNING!” or “ALARM!!” with a detailed description of the issue, its consequences and recommended actions. The alert conditions for Status are: “!”=WARNING; “!!”=ALARM. Example: “OK” or “ALARM!! This physical disk is no longer detected." The Attached to parameter states which disk controller the physical disk is attached to. The "Status" parameter reports an “A LA RM!!” if the "Error Count" parameter is greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset ev ery 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the Status parameter will automatically be cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism enables BPM Ex press for Hardware/Portal to report pure ev ent-driv en alerts with no need for manual acknowledgment from the operators. Monitoring 73 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Logical Disks RAID or advanced disk controllers expose several physical disks as a single logical disk to the operating system. The status of a logical disk typically corresponds to the status of a RAID array (on-line, degraded, rebuilding, etc.). For each logical disk discovered, the parameters displayed are: The Error Count parameter represents number of errors encountered by the Logical disk since the last counter reset. The error count is automatically reset every 24th hour (by default; this setting is configurable). The Status parameter represents the overall status of the logical disk. It triggers an alert if the logical disk is missing or if any of the other parameters have breached their thresholds. It is only Status that will trigger and display the alerts. When all is fine, Status shows “OK”, and when there is problem, it shows “WARNING!” or “ALARM!!” with a detailed description of the issue, its consequences and recommended actions. The alert conditions for Status are: “!”=WARNING; “!!”=ALARM. Example: “OK” or “ALARM!! This logical disk is no longer detected." The Attached to parameter states which disk controller the logical disk is attached to. For non-RAID disk controllers (as most of IDE controllers, for example), no logical disk will be displayed. The "Status" parameter reports an “A LA RM!!” if the Error Count parameter is greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset ev ery 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the Status parameter will automatically be cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism enables BPM Ex press for Hardware/Portal to report pure ev ent-driv en alerts with no need for manual acknowledgment from the operators. Disk Controller A disk controller is a card inside a computer that connects one or several physical disk drives to this computer. Some intelligent disk controllers (such as RAID controllers) manage several physical disks as a single logical disk which is the only disk exposed to the operating system. Monitoring both physical and logical disks is essential to ensure that storage is available. Depending on the system and the information available, the Battery Status and Controller Status parameters are displayed. The Battery Status parameter triggers an alert to predict that the disk controller battery will be unable to support the controller in the event of a power failure. The Controller Status parameter displays the status of the disk controller. The disk controller icon is displayed only if either/both of the parameters collect some values. If no values are collected, there will be no separate icon for the disk controller, but the logical disk and physical disk instances display the details of the disk controller the disks are attached to. A ll sy stems may not be able to prov ide this information. Monitoring 74 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Monitoring Devices: Processors, Memory Modules and Network interfaces BPM Express for Hardware automatically detects the information sources available on the monitored computer and displays the hardware information provided by those sources in the Portal interface. It is the Devices icon that regroups the icons created for each sensor found for the processors, memory modules, network interfaces. If the components are detected, the icons are created automatically. In the left pane, click on an Element > Hardware () > Computer Type > Devices and see the discovered components in detail in the right panel. An icon is created for each detected device. Each icon is labeled with a description of the device: ID, size, vendor, role, etc. Clicking the icon in the left pane, displays its details in the right pane. If a device appears to be missing, the Status parameter will trigger an alert if necessary. Monitoring de v ice s: CPUs, m e m ory m odule s, ne twork inte rfa ce s a nd othe r de v ice s Status is a text parameter that describes the overall status of the corresponding device or sensor. It is the Status parameter that raises alerts when any of the other parameters for the device breach their thresholds. Alert conditions for Status describe in symbolic terms what occurs in the parameter when thresholds are breached: one exclamation mark triggers a warning; two exclamation marks raise an alarm. Example If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds for the device have been breached, the status parameter will report for example: “WARNING! This network adapter has degraded” or, “ALARM! This network adapter is not detected anymore” or as may be the case. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions. Monitoring 75 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 The "Status" parameter reports an A LA RM if the "Error Count" and "Corrected Error Count" parameters report v alues greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset ev ery 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the "Status" parameter will automatically be cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism enables BPM Ex press for Hardware/Portal to report pure ev ent-driv en alerts with no need for manual acknowledgment from the operators. Processors Processors (also called CPU, Central Processing Unit) are obviously the most critical devices within a computer. While a processor fault may often lead to a system crash without a chance for a monitoring tool to catch the error, it can still be useful to monitor a server’s processors. In the case of a system crash due to a processor fault, the system reboots automatically. The reboot is either triggered by the operating system or by the motherboard itself. If a processor is no longer working, it is automatically disabled by the BIOS and, if there is one processor left, the operating system starts with one processor less. BPM Express for Hardware monitors each processor and checks that it is present and running. If a processor is missing upon reboot, BPM Express for Hardware will trigger an alert. On some recent or high-end servers, processors are able to correct some operation errors by themselves (like the ECC memory). If this information is available, it is displayed in the Portal by BPM Express for Hardware. In addition, if the processor is able to predict a failure, this information will be monitored by BPM Express for Hardware and reported in the Portal interface. Depending on the information available, the Status and/or Corrected Error Count and/or Predicted Failure parameters will be displayed for each discovered processor (CPU): The Status parameter represents the overall status of the processor. An alert is triggered if the processor is not available for proper operation (missing, disable by the BIOS due to a POST error, etc.) or if any if the other parameters breach their thresholds. The Predicted Failure parameter reports the predictive failure analysis, performed by the processor itself. This information is based on the rate of corrected errors. The Corrected Error Count parameter represents the number of errors that have been automatically corrected by the processor. This information can be very useful to predict a failure in the near future. Monitoring 76 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Memory Modules The main memory of a computer is actually as critical as the processors since almost all processor operations deal with the memory. A single memory fault will lead to severe computer crash with, potentially, data corruption. On servers, the memory modules (the devices where the memory data is actually stored) often include auto-correction features (ECC), and sometimes even better: RAID5-like memory configuration. These features and configurations allow the memory modules to report statistics on failures, to predict failures, to hot-replace a memory module upon failure, etc. Depending on the available information and the features provided by the motherboard and the memory modules, the Error Count and/or Predicted Failure and/or Status parameters will be displayed for each discovered memory module: The Error Count parameter reports the number of errors that have been detected by the memory module and then corrected. A steadily growing value means that the memory module is not reliable and that it could encounter errors that it is unable to correct and that will then crash the system. The Predicted Failure parameter is reported by the memory modules which try to predict if it is going to fail by analyzing the trend of the number of detected/corrected errors (thanks to the ECC technology). If this parameter goes into alarm, you should remove the faulty memory module and replace it with a new one. The Status parameter represents the overall status of the memory module. An alert is triggered if the memory module reports a failure (in a RAID5-like configuration), if it is missing after a computer reboot or if any of the other parameters breach their thresholds. Network Interfaces Network interfaces are devices that serve as a common interface for various other devices within a local area network (LAN), or as an interface to allow networked computers to connect to an outside network. It is therefore essential to make sure these devices are properly running and linked to the network. For each network interface discovered, the Status, Error Percent and/or Link Status parameters are displayed: The Status parameter represents the overall status of the network interface. An alert is triggered when the network interface is not responding, or any of the other parameters’ thresholds are breached. The Link Status parameter reports whether or not the adapter is properly linked to the network from a pure hardware cable perspective (it will not report a bad IP configuration for example). By default, the Link Status parameter raises an alert (through Status) only for previously connected network adapters that are no longer linked to the network. The Error Percent parameter represents the percentage of sent and received network packets that were in error. A high percentage of errors often means that the network link is improperly configured or that the network card is functioning poorly and thus needs to be replaced. Missing Device Detection The missing device detection mechanism of BPM Express for Hardware alerts operators when a device that was previously detected in the system is no longer found. This mechanism is especially useful when, for example, a non-redundant physical disk does not restart during a system reboot and therefore is no longer seen by the operating system and the monitoring Monitoring 77 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 software. When a device is no longer discovered, its Status parameter goes into alarm and its label directly shows that it is missing. Monitoring Connectors When a BPM Express for Hardware connector has been detected as applicable to the current platform, a corresponding instance is created under Infrastructure > Element > Hardware () > Detected Connectors and its status is monitored regularly to ensure that the underlying technology is still available. Example BPM Express for Hardware is running on a Dell PowerEdge server with Dell OpenManage Server Administrator. Upon startup, BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware detects Dell OpenManage Server Administrator and starts using the corresponding connector to discover the server hardware configuration and monitor the discovered devices. BPM Express for Hardware creates an icon representing the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator connector. Every 5 minutes, its Status parameter is updated. If, for some reason, the Dell agent stops working, an alarm is raised on the Status parameter and all the components discovered and monitored through this connector go off-line. Monitoring conne ctors This connector monitoring mechanism helps administrators detect hardware agent failures. It provides a higher monitoring accuracy by not confusing errors encountered by devices with errors caused due to failure of the monitoring tool. The parameters for the connector monitoring class are: Monitoring 78 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Test Report: This parameter describes the tests run to evaluate the availability of the technologies used by this connector to monitor the system. Status: This parameter displays the overall status of the connector and it is this parameter that triggers the alerts if any of the parameters of the class breach their thresholds. Reporting Ethernet/Fiber Port Traffic Report BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware enables you to generate a report showing usage statistics returned by a specific Ethernet/fiber port. The report shows the total number of received and transmitted bytes for the selected port. It can easily be customized to show the data that administrators can use to optimize network traffic. To generate an Ethernet/Fiber Port Traffic Report, click on the discovered Network / FC instance > “Reports” tab Select the data you wish to generate a report for: Received or Transmitted byte traffic Select the period that you wish the report to cover: number of days or hours Select the interval to apply to the report data: hourly or daily Re port – Ethe rne t/Fibe r Port T ra ffic Re port So from the above report you can see that 0.4759 GB were received and 0.5274 GB were transmitted on the 22nd. Whereas on the 23rd, 1.65 GB were received and 41 GB were transmitted. Monitoring 79 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Energy Usage Report Energy consumption has emerged as important concerns in systems and services management. In order to provide accurate and helpful information on the energy consumed by hardware components, BPM Express for Hardware provides an energy usage report that can be customized to show how the power is being consumed. To generate an Energy Usage Report, click the container Capacity Report > “Reports” tab. Select the data you wish to generate a report for: Energy Usage (kWh) or Power Consumption (watts) Select the period that you wish the report to cover: number of days or hours Select the interval to apply to the report data: hourly or daily Re port – Ene rgy Usa ge Re port From the above report you can see that the server have consumed 4 kWh of energy and 175 watts of Power on the 22nd. So calculating for a period of one week: Energy used: 27 to 28 kWh Power Consumed: 1225 watts Reporting 80 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Thresholds By default, BPM Express for Hardware automatically sets alert thresholds on the parameters of monitored elements. Depending on the computer it is running on - BPM Express for Hardware sets different thresholds for the different parameters (temperature, voltage etc.). How thresholds are set by BPM Express for Hardware BPM Express for Hardware dynamically sets the thresholds on all of its parameters, depending on the platform it runs on. It receives the threshold values from the underlying instrumentation layer of the element. This is why a summary table of alert thresholds cannot be provided - they differ from system to system. The alerts, i.e. the warnings and alarms are configured to be automatically raised via the Status parameter of each class. For example, a voltage instance has two parameters: Status and Voltage. When thresholds on the Voltage parameter are breached - by default the alert is displayed by the Status parameter icon, and not the Voltage parameter icon. T he Sta tus pa ra m e te r displa y s the a le rt W hen default thresholds are modified, the alerts are display ed by the icon of the parameter whose thresholds hav e been modified. See Modify ing Parameter Thresholds Parameters configured to trigger alerts It is only Status, the text parameter that shows the overall status of each monitored element and displays the alert conditions of warnings and alarms. For example, let's take the case of a network interface, which has the following instances under it: Link Status: Indicates whether or not the card is plugged Values: Plugged = OK; Unplugged (if previously plugged in) = Alarm Error Percent: Displays the percentage of errors detected Unit: %10-30 = Warning; 30-100 = Alarm Status: Displays the overall status of the instance Values: OK; Unplugged = Warning; Critical/Missing = Alarm If the network interface is unplugged, this information will be displayed by Link Status parameter icon in the History icon with all the details. However, only the Status icon will go into Warning. Similarly, if Reporting 81 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 the Error Percent parameter thresholds breach alarm levels, it is the Status icon that will trigger and display the alarm and not the Error Percent icon. Configuring Alert Conditions BPM Express for Hardware detects manufacturer-set thresholds for each element and assigns these pre-set thresholds to its symbolic conditions of exclamation marks. BPM Express for Hardware translates the regex of one exclamation mark "!" into a warning, and two exclamation marks into an alarm. By default, the alerts are triggered on the Status parameter. You can see these threshold symbols for any monitored element in the Configure tab, under Thresholds. Nevertheless, it is possible to modify these pre-set thresholds via the Configure tab in the Portal. You must however remember that you have to disable the thresholds for the Status parameter (which will otherwise continue to consider pre-set thresholds), and instead directly assign custom threshold values on individual parameters of the class. Starting with version 2.7.17, BPM Express for Hardware manages the display of parameters dynamically. This was rendered possible by creating separated parameter definition files for each parameter of an application class. Therefore, for application class that has more than one parameter, a combination of different parameters was created. This may result in the display of several occurrences of the same application class. For example, the Application class: Physical Disk has 3 parameters: Status Predicted Failure Error Count Therefore, 7 parameter definition files were created in order to define each parameter and the possible combination of all the parameters. That is:  Thresholds 82 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Status Predicted Failure Error Count Status, Predicted Failure Status, Error Count Error Count, Predicted Failure Status, Error Count, Predicted Failure Configuring a le rt conditions Consequently, we strongly recommend that you wait for all the hardware components to be discovered before setting threshold values for a hardware instance to avoid having to enter thresholds for each occurrence of the application class. Thresholds 83 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Se tting thre shold v a lue s Modifying Parameter Thresholds Whenever possible, BPM Express for Hardware automatically sets thresholds for parameters. These thresholds are retrieved from the element's instrumentation agents and in most cases they are apt for the system. Generally, there is no need to modify these thresholds but in case BPM Express for Hardware cannot obtain them, or if you prefer a more fault-tolerant monitoring, you can modify the thresholds of each parameter through the Configure tab > Edit Thresholds. 1. To modify the parameter thresholds of several hardware objects of an element, click on the Hardware () icon in the Configure tab > Thresholds, Properties and Credentials > Edit. or To modify the thresholds of a particular instance, click on the instance icon > Thresholds, Properties and Credentials > Edit. T hre sholds, Prope rtie s a nd Cre de ntia ls Click Edit to modify the thresholds Any modification to the thresholds or any other properties of elements created using the Element Profile mode is to be done using the Element Profile route or by clicking Override Profile 2.

Modify ing thre shold v a lue s Manually modify the thresholds on the parameter and activate the alerts 4. The "Success, changes have been saved" message indicates that the modifications have been registered. Alerts, if any, will be henceforth be displayed by the Temperature parameter icon, and not the Status icon as is the case when default thresholds are maintained. Alerts are displayed by the parameter whose thresholds are modified. Troubleshooting This section lists the most frequently asked questions: Enabling the Debug Mode BPM Express for Hardware Shows No Monitored Components Monitors Nothing other than Network Interfaces Note on RSMs Unable to See Any Disk Information Unable to Connect to WMI Enabling the Debug Mode By default, BPM Express for Hardware sends only the most critical information, warning and error messages to the Status parameter report. Most often, this information is accurate enough to ensure that BPM Express for Hardware is functioning properly. If you encounter an issue and wish to report it to customer support, you will be asked to enable the Debug Mode and provide the debug output to the support team. Thresholds 85 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. In the Configure tab > click the Element whose debug output you require. Scroll down to Application Classes > click Edit. Select Yes from the drop-down Debug Mode list > Save. Once the debug mode is enabled, delete the files sen_hw_database_hostname_*.dat stored at % RSM_HOME%\RSMxx\server\rsm\tmp\deploy\ or restart the RSM service (restarting the RSM will affect other PMs too). Deletion of the files or an RSM restart will allow BPM Express for Hardware to perform fresh detection, discovery and collection processes. By default, BPM Express for Hardware sends its debug output to: %RSM_HOME%/RSMxx/SEN_HW/ sen_hw_debug_hostname.log Wait for 30 minutes and then disable the debug mode by selecting No. Send the debug file to the support team. Pay attention to the file size -the debug output of BPM Express for Hardware could be very large if enabled for several days. BPM Express for Hardware Shows Nothing Even if BPM Express for Hardware is unable to detect any available hardware information source, it should create an icon labeled Hardware under the main computer icon. Checking the Application Collection Status This parameter has Boolean values: True or False True indicates that BPM Express for Hardware is functioning False indicates that it is not You first need to check whether the Application Collection Status has been set to true which means that at least one collect has been performed. As long as this parameter is not set to true, it means that BPM Express for Hardware has not finished (successfully or not) its collection for this server. You need to wait until Application Collection Status is set to true before investigating further. This parameter is created by default by the Portal for every application class that is added. Hence when you add BPM Express for Hardware on an element, this parameter should appear. Checking the Machine Status The second step is to check the Machine parameter which reports whether BPM Express for Hardware on the RSM was able to communicate with the targeted server with the credentials provided by the user. If so, the Machine Status parameter is set to “ is alive. Detected as a system”. Otherwise, this parameter will report that BPM Express for Hardware cannot communicate with this host. This can be due to several reasons: Troubleshooting 86 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 A firewall prevents communication between the RSM and the managed server The WMI layer has not been installed or is disabled (Windows only) Neither SSH nor Telnet connections are allowed on the managed server (UNIX and Linux only) The supplied credentials are incorrect The SNMP community string is wrong If the Machine Status is OK, you need to check which connectors are detected as valid for the targeted server, and compare them to the expected list of connectors (as described in the Installation Guide). Checking Connector Detection If one or several connectors are not detected as valid for the targeted server, you should enable the debug mode of BPM Express for Hardware, and send Sentry Software the debug output. The following reasons could cause BPM Express for Hardware to exclude connectors. Several reasons may prevent a connector from being used: The SNMP community string is wrong (only for SNMP-based connectors) The administrative/root credentials are missing or incorrect (only for connectors which need such root/administrative privileges) The corresponding hardware agent is not installed or running Some instrumentation drivers required by the hardware agent are missing Monitors Nothing Other than Network Interfaces This is typically an SNMP issue. Many manufacturer-provided hardware agents use the SNMP technology (DELL OpenManage, HP Insight Management, and Fujitsu-Siemens ServerView for example). Since BPM Express for Hardware gathers hardware information from these agents, you need to enable and properly configure the SNMP layer on the managed servers if an SNMP-based agent is running on them. However sometimes, like in the case of HP® (Compaq®) ProLiant® servers, the network interface is detected and displayed whilst no other hardware component is detected by BPM Express for Hardware – simply because it cannot communicate with the managed element. So enabling and authorizing the managed server to communicate through the SNMP protocol is essential. Configuring SNMP on Windows servers 2003, 2008 Starting with Windows Server 2003, the SNMP service is not configured to allow the "public" community by default. As a consequence, even if the SNMP service is properly installed and the hardware agent properly running, BPM Express for Hardware is not able to gather any hardware information from the SNMP agent. Therefore, on Windows Server computers that run an SNMP-based hardware agent (DELL OpenManage, HP Insight Management or Fujitsu-Siemens ServerView), you first need to install the SNMP service (not installed by default) and then configure it to allow a community to access the SNMP agent. Troubleshooting 87 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 1. In the Services administrative tool, right-click SNMP service > Properties. Click Security: T rouble shooting: SNMP Se rv ice - Prope rtie s 2. Click on the first Add button and enter a community name that will allow access to the SNMP agent (READ ONLY): T rouble shooting: SNMP Se rv ice Configura tion 3. Click OK. The new settings are taken into account immediately. 4. Next, you enter the community string for this server on the Portal: Log on as a user > Configure tab > Elements 5. Expand your infrastructure tree and select the element for which you need to enter the SNMP community string > Edit. 6. Scroll down to Application Classes section > Hardware () > Edit > Properties and Credentials. 7. Enter the SNMP community string in order to enable BPM Express for Hardware to monitor all hardware components of the element and not just network interfaces. On officially un-supported serv ers running W indows or Linux , BPM Ex press for Hardware will still be able to monitor network cards and internal non-RA ID disks. Troubleshooting 88 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Reinitializing Certain Parameters Due to the inner mechanism of servers, and that of BPM Express for Hardware, certain parameters have a tendency to trigger alerts far too frequently. Generally, these alerts do not indicate a grave problem, and are more of a nuisance to administrators who have to deal with them all the time. Error Count and Corrected Error Count are two such parameters. Reinitializing these parameters automatically reduces the triggering of such “ignorable” alerts. For this reason, BPM Express for Hardware has configured Error Count and Corrected Error Count to be re-initialized every 24hrs by default. This time-frame is customizable. Basically, here’s what happens: When BPM Express for Hardware detects the parameter Error Count for the first time, it notes the number of errors encountered, and keeps that “1st discovered” number as a base–count. After which, each time it discovers an Error Count greater than this recorded base-count (which becomes its “threshold”, it triggers an alert through the Status parameter of that class. This, as you can tell, happens far too often. It is the same with Corrected Error Count. Now, configured by default to “re-initialize” every 24hrs, it is programmed to take the last recorded Error Count/Corrected Error Count as the new “base-count or threshold” for the fresh round after reset. This is the inner mechanism, the display shows that on reset the count is zero, and if it increases to one, an alarm is triggered. Example Let’s say the very first discovered Error Count for Logical Disk is 40. Now onwards, every time, BPM Express for Hardware “discovers” the Logical disk, and it meets an Error Count of any value greater than 40, the Status parameter of that instance will trigger an alert. Remember it is programmed for reintialization every 24hrs. So, suppose during the last “collect” just before the reset takes place, the Error Count is ‘48’, BPM Express for Hardware will record ‘48’ as the “base-count” for the next round after re-initialization. Hence after 24hrs (or the time you set: 6hrs, or 1hour etc), the base-count/threshold for Error Count will be 48, and so on and so forth. Classes that contain “reinitializable” parameters: Error Count applies to: Troubleshooting 89 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Logical Disk Memory Physical Disk Corrected Error Count applies to: CPU Unable to See Disk Controller On some computers, the vendor-specific hardware monitoring agent is only responsible for the monitoring of the baseboard: temperatures, fans, voltages and power supplies. In this case, the disk monitoring is handled by the disk controller manufacturer. Therefore, you need to install additional software for your disk monitoring. Please contact your server vendor to know which software must be used with your disk controller. Unable to connect to WMI At times BPM Express for Hardware is unable to connect to WBEM. There could be two reasons for this: 1. A firewall blocks the WBEM protocol 2. The user does not have sufficient connection rights Firewall is blocking the WMI protocol In such a case, you are required to set the port for RPC/DCOM connections. WMI uses RPC/DCOM, so enabling the DCPM across the firewall should allow it to work. When WMI connects to a remote machine it uses port 135 for the initial negotiation, and then a random port is allocated for further connection. Stated below are two links that will help in setting a range of ports for the RPC/DCOM connection. Once you have set a range for RPC/DCOM communication, you can then configure the firewall to allow traffic through this range of ports. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;154596 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa389286(VS.85).aspx Insufficient connection rights This means that the user credentials provided are insufficient to access WMI.

Connectors are continuously monitored to ensure that the underlying technology used by BPM Express for Hardware to discover and monitor the hardware functions properly. If something goes wrong with the hardware instrumentation layer (but not with the hardware itself), an alert is raised by the Status parameter of the corresponding Connector instance. In this case, hardware components that were discovered and monitored through this connector will no longer be monitored. Check the Test Report parameter to have more details about the connector failure. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Status Displays the overall connector status Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Test Report Describes the tests performed to evaluate the status of the connector n/a n/a "Status" is a tex t parameter that giv es the ov erall status of the corresponding dev ice or sensor. A n alert condition describes in sy mbolic terms what occurs in the Status parameter when thresholds are breached: one ex clamation mark triggers a warning; two ex clamation marks raise an alarm. Example If BPM Express for Hardware detects that a connector has exceeded a manufacturer-specified threshold, the Status parameter will report "Alarm!!. This connector is not working anymore". On clicking the history graph, you can see the exact details of the problem, its consequences and the recommended actions. Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used. CPU Each instance of the CPU class represents a physical processor of the server. On high-range servers, the Status parameter will raise an alert "on the fly" as soon as a processor fails. On most servers however, a failed processor causes a server crash. Upon reboot, the processor is likely to be automatically disabled by the BIOS which will then raise an alert in BPM Express for Hardware because the processor is "missing". Application Classes 95 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 The Corrected Error Count and Predicted Failure parameters (available only for a few highend processors) help administrators intervene before such a crash occurs. The "Status" parameter will report an A larm if the "Corrected Error Count" parameter is greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset ev ery 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the "Status" parameter will be automatically cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism has been implemented to let BPM Ex press for Hardware/Portal report pure ev ent-driv en alerts with no need for manual acknowledgment from the operators. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Corrected Error Count Displays the number of detected and corrected errors Errors n/a Current Speed Displays the current clock speed of the processor in megahertz Megahe n/a rtz (Mhz) Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a Predicted Failure Triggers an alert through the Status parameter if a CPU failure is expected Values : n/a OK; Predict ed Failure Status Displays the overall CPU status. Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm For detailed information about n/a “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm B a se lining, see Managing Baselines and Key Performance Indicators. "Status" is a tex t parameter that describes the ov erall status of the corresponding dev ice or sensor. A lert conditions describe in sy mbolic terms what occurs in the "Status" parameter when thresholds are breached: one ex clamation mark triggers a warning; two ex clamation marks raise an alarm. Example If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds have been breached for a CPU, the Status parameter will report “Warning! Problem: This processor is degraded or about to fail." Or “Alarm!! This processor is not detected anymore", or as may be the case. On clicking the history graph, you can see the exact details of the problem, its consequences and the recommended actions. Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used. Application Classes 96 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 CPU Core The CPU Core class can only be a child of the CPU class. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a Status Displays the CPU Core status. Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Used Time Percent Displays the percentage of the CPU core usage. The "Used Time Percent" parameter is calculated as: (UsedTime - LastUsedTime) / (currentTime - lastTime) *100 Percent age (%) ≥ 50% Warning ≥ 100 % Alarm Disk Controller The purpose of the Disk Controller instance is to display the status of the disk controller battery and the status of the disk controller. In addition, some information regarding the disk controllers, like its brand, model or driver version, may be displayed. The Battery Status parameter triggers an alert to predict that the disk controller battery will be unable to support the controller in the event of a power failure. The Controller Status parameter displays the status of the disk controller. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Battery Status Triggers an alert to predict that the disk controller battery will be unable to support the controller in the event of a power failure. Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Controller Status Displays the status of the disk controller Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used. Application Classes 97 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Enclosure Basically, each Enclosure instance represents a box with some hardware components inside. This class is used to represents the computer's main chassis, but also external disk array enclosures or blade enclosures. The Intrusion Status parameter, when available, raises an alert when the chassis is opened. The Status parameter, if collected, represents the overall status. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Intrusion Status Triggers an alert if the enclosure is opened Example: "Alarm!! Problem: The enclosure is open or has been removed" Values “!!” = Alarm : OK ; Intrusio n Detecte d Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a Status Displays the overall status of the enclosure Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm "Status" is a tex t parameter that describes the ov erall status of the corresponding dev ice or sensor. Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used. Fan This class creates monitoring objects for each cooling sensor it discovers. Depending on the system and the data available, one or more parameters will be associated to the fan monitoring. Critical devices like processors, power supplies etc, have fans to avoid over-heating. Monitoring fans is important because they ensure a proper temperature for the system to work efficiently. Depending on the available information, the Speed and/or Status parameters will be displayed for each detected fan device: Application Classes 98 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 The Speed parameter represents the speed of the corresponding fan (in rotations/minute). An alert is raised through Status if the fan speed is too low for proper functioning. The Speed Percent parameter represents the speed of the corresponding fan in percentage of its maximal speed. The Status parameter represents the overall status of the fan. An alert is triggered if the fan stops spinning or does not spin fast enough. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a Speed Displays the speed of the fan Rotatio n Per Minute (RPM) n/a Speed Percent Displays the speed of the fan as a percentage of its maximal Percent n/a speed (%) of maximal speed Status Displays the overall fan status Example: “OK” or “Alarm!! This fan is not detected anymore” For detailed information about Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm B a se lining, see Managing Baselines and Key Performance Indicators. "Status" is a tex t parameter that describes the ov erall status of the corresponding dev ice or sensor. A lert conditions describe in sy mbolic terms what occurs in the parameter when thresholds are breached: one ex clamation mark triggers a warning; two ex clamation marks raise an alarm. Example If BPM Express for Hardware detects that a fan has breached manufacturer-specified thresholds, the Status parameter will report “Warning! This fan is degraded/is about to fail” or “Alarm!! This fan is not detected anymore", as may be the case. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions. Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used. Application Classes 99 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 LED The LED instances can only be children of the Enclosure class. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Color Color of the LED. n/a n/a Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a Status Led Status. Depending on the LED, On, Off or Blinking may mean OK, WARNING or ALARM. So, if "On" means OK, Status will be "On". But if "On" means "Degraded", Status will be "On!". And if "On" means "Critical", Status will be "On!!". Same for "Off" and "Blinking". Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Logical Disk This class creates instances for each logical disk discovered. Logical disks are often a group of physical disks, configured as an array (RAID 0, 1, 5, etc.) and exposed to the operating system as a single physical volume. The status of a logical disk typically corresponds to the status of a RAID array (on-line, degraded, rebuilding, etc.). For each logical disk discovered, the Status parameter is displayed. The Error Count parameter represents number of errors encountered by the logical disk since the last counter reset. The error count is automatically reset every 24th hour (by default; this setting is configurable). The Status parameter represents the overall status of the logical disk. An alert is triggered when the logical disk is not fully operational (degraded, rebuilding, etc.) or not available at all. It triggers an alert if the logical disk missing or if any of the other parameters have breached their thresholds. It is only Status that will trigger and display the alerts. When all is fine, Status shows “OK”, and when there is a problem, it shows “Warning!” or “Alarm!!” with a detailed description of the issue, its consequences and recommended actions. The alert conditions for Status are: “!”=Warning; “!!”=Alarm. Example: “OK” or “Alarm!!” This logical disk is no longer detected." For non-RA ID disk controllers (as most of IDE controllers, for ex ample), no logical disk will be display ed. The "Status" parameter will report an A larm if the "Error Count" parameter is greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset ev ery 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the "Status" parameter will be automatically cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism has been implemented to let the sy stem report pure ev ent-driv en alerts with no need for manual acknowledgment from the operators. Parameters Name Application Classes Description Unit 100 Alert Conditions BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Error Count Displays the number of errors encountered by the logical disk since the last counter reset (every 24hrs by default) Errors n/a Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a Status Displays the overall status of the logical disk Example: “OK” or “Alarm!! This logical disk is no longer detected” Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm For detailed information about B a se lining, see Managing Baselines and Key Performance Indicators. "Status" is a tex t parameter that describes the ov erall status of the corresponding dev ice or sensor.

Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Available Path Count Number of distinct paths available to the remote volume Paths When downgrades or fewer than expected = Warning 0 = Alarm Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a For detailed information about Application Classes B a se lining and K P I, see Managing Baselines and Key Performance Indicators. 101 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Main The Main class is responsible for the initialization of all the subclasses (i.e Fan, Logical Disk, CPU, etc). This class has just one parameter called Machine Status. Machine Status is a text parameter that reports whether the BPM Express for Hardware on the RSM is able to communicate with the targeted remote element. It detects whether or not the remote element is accessible for monitoring i.e. whether or not the remote element is up & running and can be monitored. Values for this parameter are: “OK” and “WARNING”. Example for OK “ is alive. Detected as . Protocols used: (SNMP/WBEM/ Telnet/SSH) If this parameter reports that the application cannot communicate with this host, it could be due to any of the following reasons: A firewall prevents communication between the RSM and the managed server The WMI layer has not been installed or is disabled (Windows only) Neither SSH nor telnet connections are allowed on the managed server (UNIX and Linux only) The supplied credentials are incorrect The SNMP community string is wrong None of the connectors match the platform of the remote element Some examples of possible “Warning!” alerts: The remote element is down. Example “ is down. Problem: Either the remote element is not currently running or the firewall is preventing access to the element.” The remote element is up and running, but none of the connectors match the platform of the remote element. Example “ is alive. Problem: None of the connectors match this platform.” The remote element is up and running, but the host platform cannot be detected. Example Application Classes 102 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 “ is alive. Problem: Host platform cannot be detected.” On clicking on the History icon, you can see the details about the problem, its consequences and the recommended actions. The warning "Machine Status" triggers in case of a problem, is not related to any hardware issue; all it indicates is that the BPM Express for Hardware cannot perform the detection, discovery or collection processes on this remote element. If one or sev eral connectors are not detected as v alid for the targeted serv er, y ou need to enable the debug mode of BPM Ex press for Hardware and check the debug output for the reason that led it to ex clude those connectors. Memory Each instance of the Memory module represents a memory module in the server. The Status parameter will raise an "on the fly" alert on servers that can dynamically handle failed memory modules or, most often, for modules that have been disabled by the BIOS upon reboot (the module is then flagged as "missing"). The Error Count parameter represents the number of errors that have been fixed by ECC-enabled memory modules. In some case, the Predicted Failure parameter is used to alert administrators that the memory module is about to fail. The use of the Error Count, or Predicted Failure parameter depends on the technology being used to report the health of memory modules. The "Status" parameter reports an A larm if the "Error Count" parameter is greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset ev ery 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the Status parameter will automatically be cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism enables BPM Ex press for Hardware/Portal to report pure ev ent-driv en alerts with no need for manual acknowledgment from the operators. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Error Count Displays the number of errors encountered since last counter reset (every 24hrs by default) Errors “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Error Status This parameter will trigger an alert if the number of memory errors reaches a threshold set by the manufacturer’s agent. Value set by memoryColl every 2 minutes. Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a Predicted Failure Raises an alert through the Status parameter if a memory failure is expected n/a n/a Status Displays the overall memory status. Values: n/a Application Classes 103 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Example: “OK” or “Warning! This memory module encountered an abnormal number of internal errors” For detailed information about OK; Warnin g; Alarm B a se lining, see Managing Baselines and Key Performance Indicators. "Status" is a tex t parameter that describes the ov erall status of the corresponding dev ice or sensor. A lert conditions describe in sy mbolic terms what occurs in the "Status" parameter when thresholds are breached: one ex clamation mark triggers a warning; two ex clamation marks raise an alarm. Example If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds for the memory module have been breached, the Status parameter will report “Warning! This memory module encountered an abnormal number of internal errors” or “Alarm!! An imminent failure is predicted on this memory module”, or as may be the case. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions. Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used. Network Each Network instance represents a network adapter in the server. The Link Status reports whether or not the adapter is properly linked to the network from a pure hardware cable perspective (it will not report a bad IP configuration for example). By default, the Link Status parameter raises an alert (through Status) only for previously connected network adapters that are no longer linked to the network. The Error Percent parameter represents the percentage of sent and received network packets that were in error. A high percentage of errors often means that the network link is improperly configured or that the network card is functioning erratically and thus needs to be replaced. The Status parameter displays the overall status of the instance. It raises an alert if any of the other parameters breach their thresholds. Alerts are triggered only through the Status parameter. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Bandwidth Utilization Percentage used of the available bandwidth.

"Status" is a tex t parameter that describes the ov erall status of the corresponding dev ice or sensor. A lert conditions describe in sy mbolic terms what occurs in the parameter when thresholds are breached: one ex clamation mark triggers a warning; two ex clamation marks raise an alarm. Example If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds for the network interface have been breached, the Status parameter will report “Warning! This network adapter has degraded”,or, “Alarm!! This network adapter is not detected anymore” or as may be the case. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions. Application Classes 105 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used. Other Device This class is typically used to monitor devices that do not relate to the other classes and can rarely be monitored on servers. The device definition is given by the connector file and the device is monitored just as any other in any other class. This represents hardware components that do not fall into other predefined categories i.e. other than processors, memory modules, temperature sensors, fans, voltage sensors, power supplies, network cards, disk controllers, physical disks and logical disks. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Status Displays the overall status of the "other device" Example: “OK” or “Alarm!! This device is no longer detected” Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a Usage Count Number of times the device has been used. n/a n/a "Status" is a tex t parameter that describes the ov erall status of the corresponding dev ice or sensor. A lert conditions describe in sy mbolic terms what occurs in the "Status" parameter when thresholds are breached: one ex clamation mark triggers a warning; two ex clamation marks raise an alarm. Example If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds for the “other device” have been breached, the Status parameter will report “Alarm! This device has degraded.” or “Alarm!! This device is no longer detected”, or as may be the case. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions. Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used. Application Classes 106 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Physical Disk Each instance of this class represents a hard drive detected on the platform by BPM Express for Hardware. Its purpose is to monitor the status of each hard drive and possibly detect an incoming failure. Physical disks must be monitored to avoid loss of data, un-availabilities and performance degradation. When available, S.M.A.R.T technology will be used to predict a disk failure before it occurs. Depending on the available information, the Predicted Failure and/or Status parameters will be displayed for each discovered physical disk: The Predicted Failure parameter uses S.M.A.R.T technology to predict physical disk failures. An alert will be triggered if it is predicted that the physical disk will soon break down. The Status parameter represents the current status of the physical disk. An alert is triggered if the physical disk is not available for proper operation. The Error Count parameter is incremented each time an error occurs on this physical disk. An alert is raised by the Status parameter from the first detected error. The Status parameter represents the overall status of the physical disk and triggers an alert is triggered if the physical disk is not available for proper operation or if any of the other parameters breach their thresholds. The Status parameter represents the overall status of the physical disk. It triggers an alert if the physical disk is missing or if any of the other parameters have breached their thresholds. It is only Status that will trigger and display the alerts. When all is fine, Status shows “OK”, and when there is a problem, it shows “Warning!” or “Alarm!!” with a detailed description of the issue, its consequences and recommended actions. The alert conditions for Status are: “!”=Warning; “!!”=Alarm The "Status" parameter reports an A larm if the "Error Count" parameter is greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset ev ery 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the "Status" parameter will automatically be cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism enables BPM Ex press for Hardware/Portal to report pure ev ent-driv en alerts with no need for manual acknowledgement from the operators.

A lert conditions describe in sy mbolic terms what occurs in the "Status" parameter when thresholds are breached: one ex clamation mark triggers a warning; two ex clamation marks raise an alarm. Example If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds for the physical disk have been breached, the Status parameter will report “Warning! This physical disk is degraded/is about to fail” or “Alarm! This disk is not detected anymore", or as the case may be. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions. Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used. Power Supply Each instance of this class represents a power supply in the system. It is used to monitor their status and to indicate when a power supply is malfunctioning and needs attention. Power supply is critical and should never fail, which is why servers often have redundant power supplies. Monitoring power supplies allows the operators to be alerted when a power supply fails, or in some cases when a power supply is overloaded. Depending on the information available, the Used Capacity and/or Status parameters will be displayed for each power supply or power unit device: The Used Capacity parameter represents the power supply’s power currently in use in percentage. An alert is triggered if the computer uses too much power than it can be supplied. The Status parameter represents the current status of the power supply. An alert is triggered if an error occurs with the power supply. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a Status Displays the overall status of the power supply Example: “OK” or “Alarm!! The power consumed by the system is out of the supported range" Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Used Capacity Displays the percentage of the power supply currently in use Percent age (%) n/a For detailed information about Application Classes B a se lining, see Managing Baselines and Key Performance Indicators. 108 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 "Status" is a tex t parameter that describes the ov erall status of the corresponding dev ice or sensor.

Temperature BPM Express for Hardware detects the temperature probes on the motherboard or devices and creates an instance of this class for each of them. Their location in the platform is described in the instance’s label if it is available. When a temperature reading can be performed, temperature thresholds are automatically set and an alert will be triggered if the temperature rises to a dangerous level. Even in the case that no reading can made, the Status parameter will display the condition of the temperature in the system. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a Status Displays the overall temperature status Example: “OK” or “Alarm!! The temperature is critically high” Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Temperature Displays the temperature reading Celsius degree s (C°) n/a For detailed information about B a se lining, see Managing Baselines and Key Performance Indicators. "Status" is a tex t parameter which describes the ov erall status of the corresponding dev ice or sensor. A n alert condition describes in sy mbolic terms what occurs when thresholds are breached. Example Application Classes 110 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds have been breached for temperature, the Status parameter will report “Warning! The temperature is too high (67°C)” or, “Alarm!! The temperature is critically high” or, as may be the case. There is a complete hardware health report for this temperature sensor. The actual temperature value (when available) is reported by the Temperature parameter but alert thresholds are not directly set on this parameter. The history graph will display details about the problem, its consequences and the recommended actions. Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used. Voltage The purpose of this class is to monitor power supply voltages. For each voltage sensor (+5V, +12V, -5V, etc.), an instance is created in a container with a label describing its type. If the computer’s configuration allows a reading of the voltages, the values will be available in the Voltage parameter and an alert will be triggered if they do not meet the automatically set thresholds. Otherwise, the Status parameter will inform you if a problem occurs with one of the voltages. Parameters Name Description Unit Alert Conditions Locator Helps to physically locate a component. n/a n/a Status Displays the overall status of the voltage Example: “OK” or “Alarm!! This voltage sensor is no longer detected" Values: OK; Warnin g; Alarm “!” = Warning “!!” = Alarm Voltage Displays the voltage reading megavo n/a lt (mV) For detailed information about B a se lining, see Managing Baselines and Key Performance Indicators. "Status" is a tex t parameter that describes the ov erall status of the corresponding dev ice or sensor. A lert conditions describe in sy mbolic terms what occurs in the "Status" parameter when thresholds are breached: one ex clamation mark triggers a warning; two ex clamation marks raise an alarm. Example If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds for voltage have been breached, the Status parameter will report “Warning! Although still not critical, the voltage level is out of the normal range." or “Alarm!! This voltage sensor is no longer detected", or as may be the case. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions. Application Classes 111 BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.7.28 Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used. Special Note on Application Collection Status This Boolean parameter shows the status of the application and its ability to collect data. A value of False means that the RSM cannot communicate with or collect information for the application class on the element. Thresholds BPM Express for Hardware dynamically sets the thresholds on all of its parameters depending on the platform it is running on. This is why a summary table of the alert thresholds of BPM Express for Hardware cannot be provided. It takes the manufacturer-set thresholds for each component and sets alert rules accordingly. As you have seen in the previous section, it is Status, the text parameter that displays alert conditions. BPM Express for Hardware assigns the pre-set thresholds to its symbolic conditions of exclamation marks. For instance, when a manufacturer-set threshold reaches warning levels, BPM Express for Hardware translates it to “Warning!” with one exclamation mark, which triggers a Warning alert in the Portal; and for an alarm-level breach, the Status parameter is set to “Alarm!!” with two exclamation marks, which triggers an Alarm alert in the Portal. When a problem occurs, it is the Status parameter that reports “WARNING!” or “ALARM!!” followed by a full description of the encountered problem, the possible consequences and the recommended action. Nevertheless, it is possible to modify these pre-set thresholds via the Configure tab. If you wish to modify pre-set thresholds of individual parameters, you must deactivate the thresholds for the Status parameter (which will otherwise continue to consider pre-set thresholds and trigger alerts accordingly), and instead, directly assign threshold values against individual parameters of the class. See the User Guide for details. Additional Configuration Properties This section provides detailed information on how to override the default property values used within BPM Express for Hardware. These values have to be defined in the rsmcfg.properties (%RSM_HOME% \ RSMxx\server\rsm\conf\properties\rsm\ rsmcfg.properties) file.
