EBA and EDL/CDL
I was wondering if anyone has this set up and working? We have it "configured" but there is no data collected so I believe it has not been configured correctly; here are the settings we have (which I think are relevant):
Node type: Virtual Tape Library
Virtual Tap Library: VTL short name
Aliases: VTL FQDN (checked that this can be resolved)
Attributes: no value
Requests: EDL Configuration, EDL Performance, EDL Status, Tape Drive Performance + inherited from backup servers group
Proxy: greyed out
Credentials: greyed out
EBA process status indicates EBA server collector is running only
Tools, credential editor lists Virtual Tape Library Credentials as username: snmp (password not yet confirmed)
Does anybody have any idea what is wrong?

I have further information now...
Went onto the EBA server and found name resolution was only possible on FQDN, not short name. I deleted and readded all 4 EDLs using the already configured VTL credentials and hitting the test button to confirm I could make a connection. All worked apart from one and afterwards I verified that data was now being gathered successfully.
The EDLs are all partitions of the same EDL4400; the failing EDL partition is successfully resolving to the correct IP address from the EBA server. The snmp configuration appears to be at a level above two partitions, one which works and one which doesn't....- We've given up on DPA against a DL42xx. Even the side it is able to SNMP monitor produces incorrect results in the charts and graphs in DPA.
EMC now says that it's a bug in the DL 3.1 software and we need to upgrade to 3.2.
The really dumb thing is that this upgrade requires a complete outage on both sides of the DL. So much for dual heads.
