HP Blade Enclosure Management Pack

The HP Blade Enclosure management pack monitors the hardware health of Hewlett-Packard ProLiant BL Server Blade Enclosures using SNMP queries.

This management pack does not discover or monitor the health of the individual blade servers inserted into the enclosure. HP does deliver a management pack that delivers this functionality. It is recommended that you download it from here:

Getting Started

1 Before importing the Management Pack

The management pack consists of two single files. Use the Import Management Pack function from the Administration pane of the Operations Console to import the management pack. Make sure you have all the management pack, the HP Blade Enclosure management pack depends on, imported as well. The import wizard will let you know if some are missing.

All dependencies are defined against management packs provided by Microsoft. If you can’t find them on your Operations Manager installation media, you should be able to download them from here:

The following table lists the management pack files and the dependencies (in grey)

|Management Pack File |Version |Vendor |

|Custom.SNMP.HPBladeEnclosure.Discovery |1.0.0.5 |Custom |

|Custom.SNMP.HPBladeEnclosure.Monitoring |1.0.0.5 |Custom |

|System.Health.Library.mp |6.0.5000.0 |Microsoft |

|System.Snmp.Library.mp |6.0.5000.15 |Microsoft |

|Microsoft.SystemCenter.Library.mp |6.0.5000.0 |Microsoft |

|Microsoft.workDevice.Library.mp |6.0.5000.15 |Microsoft |

|Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.Library.mp |6.0.5000.0 |Microsoft |

2 Customizing the management pack

The HP Blade Enclosure management pack is sealed. Changes to it are not possible. Using overrides it may be customized. When doing so it is recommended that you store your overrides for the HP Blade Enclosure management pack in a specifically for this purpose created one. The ‘Default Management Pack’ should not be used.

Doing so simplifies exporting, reporting on or altering your changes. Furthermore the ‘Default Management Pack’ will not be made dependant on the HP Blade Enclosure management pack. Removing the HP Blade Enclosure management pack will be possible.

Elements of the HP Blade Enclosure management pack

1 Object Type Model

The following diagram shows the type model of the HP Blade Enclosure management pack. Inheritance is shown vertically while Hosting and Health Roll up are drawn horizontally. Blue object types are part of the management pack, while grey ones already exist. They are defined by the management pack’s dependencies.

2 Object Discovery

1 Objects Discovered

The HP Blade Enclosure management pack discovers objects of the following type:

|Object Type |Automatically |Discovery Rule |Remarks |

|HP Blade Enclosure Group |Yes |Populate HP Blade Enclosure Group |Populates group with SNMP Network |

|(population) | | |Devices that have a SysObjID of |

| | | |1.3.6.1.4.1.11.5.7.1.* |

3 Monitors

The management pack defines a single monitor that periodically checks the Compaq Rack Info MIB’s cpqRackCommonEnclosureCondition (1.3.6.1.4.1.232.22.2.3.1.1.1.16). A status of degraded (3) or failed (4) is considered a warning state. This monitor is only active for members of the HP Blade Enclosure Group, despite it being targeted at SNMP Network Device object.

Every minute the enclosure condition is checked. If any hardware problem is detected, the monitor will change to warning.

|Severity |Alert Name |Possible Overrides |Diagnostic and |Implementation Details |

| | | |Recovery Tasks | |

|Warning |HP Blade Enclosure |Standard |none |Poll the MIB every minute. |

| |hardware status is | | | |

| |degraded | | | |

Any hardware problem (fan, power supply, temperature and the like) will roll up to cpqRackCommonEnclosureCondition. Upon receiving an alert from Operations Manager it is recommended that you connect to the enclosure’s management console to find out about the specific cause.

Using the Management Pack

After importing the management pack, Operations Manager will automatically group any instances of HP Blade Enclosures into HP Blade Enclosure Group. Monitoring is going to work automatically. You will have to manually discover one if the enclosure’s management interfaces as SNMP network devices. Do so using Operations Manager’s discovery wizard.
