Release Notes for v2.9.20
BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
What's New LUNs can now be monitored on VMWare ESX5i / vSphere 5 host servers. Blade monitoring: A new parameter (Power State) has been added to the Blade application class to indicate whether a Cisco UCS blade chassis is currently On or Off.
New Connectors IBM AIX - usysfault: This connector reports the status of the System Attention LED and triggers an alert when this LED is turned on. The alert remains until an administrator manually acknowledges the status of the System Attention LED. IBM Hardware Management Console (HMC): This connector allows administrators to monitor the overall health of IBM AIX servers through the Hardware Management Console (HMC). It reports the status of the System Attention LED and triggers an alert if a hardware problem has been reported on each system since 0:00am. HDS USP/VSP Storage Systems: This connector more accurately reports on the status of Hitachi HDS USP/VSP Storage Systems. It requires direct SNMP access to each system.
Changes and Improvements The SMI-S Compliant HBAs connector has been modified to report on link speed and statistics. HP ProLiant Servers running VMware ESX: BPM Express for Hardware now collects a real time power consumption value from either the VMware ESX CIM agent or HP Insight Management Agent for VMware ESX. Cisco MDS9000 Series FC switches: BPM Express for Hardware now supports link speeds in Kbits/s. A bug in the SSH interactive client prevented management cards to be properly monitored. The property propertynet.sentrysoftware.bpm.hardware.disabledConnectors can now be applied to all hosts.
Fixed Issues Data Domain Storage Systems: Due to the structure of the Data Domain MIB, specific strings in a Physical Hard Drive's serial number could cause a disk to report an unknown status. Dell PowerEdge Servers: the physical disk instances were not attached to the proper disk controller instance. HP Servers Running ESX: Disk controllers and their batteries are now properly discovered even when no information on their model or serial number is available. IBM AIX Servers: The monitoring of the network cards could cause network delays. Power failures were not detected on IBM AIX servers. To solve this issue, the IBM AIX Common connector has been updated and two new connectors have been created: IBM AIX - usysfault and IBM Hardware Management Console (HMC).
10
BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
IBM x Series Servers: On rare occasions, duplicate processor instances could appear in your monitoring environment because the IBM Director Agent reported each processor twice. The IBM Director Agent 6.x - Linux and IBM Director Agent 6.x - Windows connectors have therefore been modified to properly identify these erroneous instances and excludes them from the monitoring. The port status for link down ports had been modified in VMWare ESX 5.5, which caused the VMware ESXi 4.x connector to falsely report port failures. Logical Disk (LUN) monitoring is no longer performed with the SMI-S HBA Connector to avoid duplicate LUN instances. The connection using the SNMP v3 protocol was not working properly. IBM TS3100/3200 and Dell TL2000/4000 Tape Libraries: Tape drive mounts were incorrectly reported as errors, which resulted in false alerts to be triggered on the Error Count parameters.

Installation Guide
BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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. 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..
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.

BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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 .

Installing BPM Express for Hardware Getting the BPM Express for Hardware Package To 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 2.9.20, the BPM Express for Hardware application class will 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 2.9.20 on all your elements, you need to completely uninstall and remove the previous version (2.3.xx) before installing Version 2.9.20.
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.

6. The “+” symbol next to BPM Express for Hardware indicates that there are several application classes within the main PM (Performance Manager). Expand the tree to see the platform-specific application classes of BPM Express for Hardware: Hardware (OpenVMS); Hardware (Switch); Hardware (Windows); Hardware (Other); Hardware (HP-UX); Hardware (AIX); Hardware (Tru64); Hardware (Storage); Hardware (Solaris); Hardware (Linux). The PM is built with separate platform-specific classes since the input properties required to activate the class vary from one platform to another. For details, see: Adding BPM Express for Hardware to an Element Profile.
Please note that although the expanded list shows Hardware (Switch) and Hardware (Storage) amongst other classes - these two classes are meant for monitoring storage devices, but will not function unless the Storage Add-on for BPM Express for Hardware is installed. This is a separate product for monitoring storage devices, and it is built as an add-on component for BPM Express for Hardware.

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.
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.
Absolute thresholds (w ith "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.

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.

User Guide
BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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 system 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. In the example below, BPM Express for Hardware leverages the IBM Director and MIB-2 Standard SNMP Agents to monitor an IBM Server running on Windows. While the IBM Director Agent shows the enclosure model, processors, memory modules, fans, power supplies, voltage sensors, temperature sensors, disk controllers, and physical and logical disks; the MIB-2 Standard SNMP Agent provides information about the network cards.

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:
Understanding BPM Express for Hardw are w ithin the Portal environment
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.
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.

BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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.

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_2920-2.5.00_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 Monitoring with BPM Express for Hardware
63
BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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.
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\SentrySoftware-HardwareSentry-solution-.par-native. You can force BPM Express for Hardw are to perform or ignore the detection process on specific connector files (see the Pre-selected Connectors, Disable Connectors, and Force Detection sections) .
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 w ill be created. The BPM Express for Hardw are engine w ill ensure that only one “.hdf” describing the computer model w ill be marked as "detected".
Inside BPM Express for Hardware
64
BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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 view to optimization, the discovery process is as parallelled as possible. All independent objects are processed at the same time.
The Collection Process Once the discovery process is complete, the collection process starts: Based on the collection interval configured, 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.
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_EMCDiskArray.hdf describes how to get information from the EMC Disk Arrays and then monitor the array. 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.
Inside BPM Express for Hardware
65
BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
The “.hdf” files are deployed on the RSM at %RSM_HOME%\RSMxx\server\rsm\tmp\deploy\SentrySoftw areHardw areSentry-solution-.par-native. These files released by Sentry Softw are are encrypted 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 icons. Here is a the structure of how the monitored elements are displayed in the Portal interface:

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.

68
BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
Monitoring the enclosure
Basically, the enclosure instance represents the computer's main chassis of the element. The Locator parameter to physically locate a component. The Status parameter, if collected, represents the overall status of all the classes of monitored 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..
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:

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, “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 Locator parameter helps to physically locate a component. 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 Locator parameter helps to physically locate a component. 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”.

BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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 Locator parameter helps to physically locate a component. 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 Locator parameter helps to physically locate a component. 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 left pane, click on an Element > Hardware () > Device 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 controller, physical disks, logical disks
An icon w ill be created for a disk controller only if its parameters discover some values. If not, then the disk controller details w ill be mentioned in the "Attached to" parameter of the logical/physical 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

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 following parameters will be displayed for each discovered physical disk: 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 Locator parameter helps to physically locate a component. 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 "Status" parameter reports an “ALARM!!” if the "Error Count" parameter is greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset every 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the Status parameter w ill automatically be cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism enables BPM Express for Hardw are/Portal to report pure event-driven alerts w ith no need for manual acknow ledgment from the operators.

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 (online, 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 Locator parameter helps to physically locate a component. For non-RAID disk controllers (as most of IDE controllers, for example), no logical disk will be displayed.
The "Status" parameter reports an “ALARM!!” if the Error Count parameter is greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset every 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the Status parameter w ill automatically be cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism enables BPM Express for Hardw are/Portal to report pure event-driven alerts w ith no need for manual acknow ledgment 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, the Controller Status and the Locator 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 Locator parameter helps to physically locate a component. 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.
All systems may not be able to provide this information.

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.
The "Status" parameter reports an ALARM if the "Error Count" and "Corrected Error Count" parameters report values greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset every 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the "Status" parameter w ill automatically be cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism enables BPM Express for Hardw are/Portal to report pure event-driven alerts w ith no need for manual acknow ledgment 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 following parameters will be displayed for each discovered processor (CPU):
Monitoring
77
BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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. The Current Speed parameter displays the current clock speed of the processor in megahertz. The Locator parameter helps to physically locate a component.
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 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. Based on the collection interval configured, 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.

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.
W hen default thresholds are modified, the alerts are displayed by the icon of the parameter w hose thresholds have been modified. See Modifying 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 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
Reporting
83
BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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: Status Predicted Failure Error Count Status, Predicted Failure Status, Error Count Error Count, Predicted Failure Status, Error Count, Predicted Failure 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.
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.

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
87
BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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, 2012 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.

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 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: Logical Disk Memory Network Physical Disk Robotics Tape Drives Corrected Error Count applies to: CPU
Reinitializing the PM To reinitialize the PM, you can: either restart the RSM. All the elements monitored by the RSM will then be automatically reinitialized or manually delete the file sen_hw_database__*.dat that corresponds to the element you wish to renitialize. This file is stored in %RSM_HOME%\RSMxx\server\rsm\tmp \deploy.
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 WMI. There could be two reasons for this: 1. A firewall blocks the WMI 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.

Connector Each instance of the Connector class represents a connector currently used by BPM Express for Hardware in order to discover and monitor the hardware components of the server. 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.

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-RAID disk controllers (as most of IDE controllers, for example), no logical disk w ill be displayed.
The "Status" parameter w ill report an Alarm if the "Error Count" parameter is greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset every 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the "Status" parameter w ill be automatically cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism has been implemented to let the system report pure event-driven alerts w ith no need for manual acknow ledgment from the operators.

BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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

“ 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 several connectors are not detected as valid for the targeted server, you need to enable the debug mode of BPM Express for Hardw are and check the debug output for the reason that led it to exclude 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 ECCenabled 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 Alarm if the "Error Count" parameter is greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset every 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the Status parameter w ill automatically be cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism enables BPM Express for Hardw are/Portal to report pure event-driven alerts w ith no need for manual acknow ledgment from the operators.

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.

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.

"Status" is a text parameter w hich describes the overall status of the corresponding device or sensor. An alert condition describes in symbolic terms w hat occurs w hen thresholds are breached.
Example 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.

"Status" is a text parameter that describes the overall status of the corresponding device or sensor. Alert conditions describe in symbolic terms w hat occurs in the "Status" parameter w hen thresholds are breached: one exclamation mark triggers a w arning; tw o exclamation 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.
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 preset thresholds via the Configure tab.
Application Classes

BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware Version 2.9.20
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.
