UniSphere for VMAX - Alerting

Well, we will be moving to 5876 in few weeks so I dont have the answer related to Unisphere alerting yet. However, to answer where you can find the MIB file? Its available on :

http://www.emc.com/microsites/fibrealliance/index.htm

I am assuming the alerting in Unisphere should be similar to what was available in SMAS with an option to configure SNMP alerts.

Hi Saurabh, do have any idea which traps need to select to be alarmed in this mib file ???

Hi Sohaib,

it depends on what alerts you would like to monitor.

Saurabh

We just need to have the critical alerts in sense of Hardware or Application mis-configuration for eg, drive, port and power failure ,

check storeventd options in daemon_option file to configure snmp.

Saurabh

Is there an OID to trap condition list? I have Unisphere 1.5 deployed and SNMP definitions are needed to monitor alert thresholds (performance diagnostic 5 min data) on Vmax 10/40k.

Believe they could be different-

Have similar issue- however I always get to a link to the MiB- its understood to workthrough (likely)

I'm looking for a Table that shows IOD to Alert - so I can configure SNMP Alerting without hours looking up OID's - as we Hand-off to "Operators" the Table refrence would be great value. (800+ Alerts possible)

The Values we are working on are simple KPI's and some Threshold Monitoring on ThinPool/FA/DA etc

Dave,

Were you ever able to make your list of the alerts?

I am working on the same task using the following parameters, looking for what each specifically reports on.

Hi Storage_Dave,

Were you able to forward the Unisphere for VMAX alerts to Solarwinds?

I am trying to accomplish the same thing, I have enabled the SNMPconfiguration from Alert Settings  Pane in Unisphere,

do we have to configure any settings in storeventd daemon_options file also for successful SNMP notifications to Solarwinds?

Thanks

Hello

Did you ever find a document with the list of alerts?

I am looking for a similar list of traps beased on the above SNMP notifications.

Thanks

I have a List obtained through their documentation – there are different ways to collect data- SNMP alerting for Performance Thresholds was my approach. Basically if you do the “daemon” file -you Pass SNMP configured there – if using Unisphere for Vmax” out of the box

We have VMAX running with 5876 and have Unisphere, recently we are trying to configure SNMP traps.w....we have configured the SNMP server but it is not sending traps to BEM cell server.

anyone have idea do we need to do anything in Unisphere level other than adding the SNMP server ..?

also, let me know if anyone have default threshold values we need set for key performance metrics ..like as given below ..

-Host IOs/sec

-Ave Read Response Time (ms)

-Ave Write Response Time (ms)

-%Cache WP (Write-Pending)

-%Hit

-%Reads

-%Writes

The Solutions Enabler Install guide seems to have the best description of the SNMP traps.  We found it better to enable traps through daemon_options file rather than messing with Unisphere for VMAX alerts.  You get the same thing either way, but when you enable through Unisphere, all the events end up coming out with an event id of 5000.  No where in the Unisphere documentation does it say that by the way.  You can get the real event code from the text in the trap, but makes it easier for whatever is acting on the traps, if they can get the actual Event Id from the Event ID field in the trap.   

"...all the events end up coming out with an event id of 5000."

Maybe this is an old thread and EMC has improved the software, but I don't see this issue in UniVMAX SMTP alerts at all. We're on version 1.6.2.4.
