Introduction to CLARiiON Management Pack for SCOM
CLARiiON's initial integration with SCOM is through a Windows host that is setup as a CLARiiON monitoring server. This monitoring server retrieves CLARiiON Events, which is established through the creation of a Navisphere template, into the Monitoring servers Windows Application Event Log. Once an associated event is presented to the monitoring servers Application Event Log the CLARiiON SCOM pack will determine if the event should be raised as an alert into SCOM. For this initial release of the CLARiiON SCOM pack there are a selected number of CLARiiON Events that will raise a SCOM alert. These 89 CLARiiON Events are a subset of the total CLARiiON Navisphere Alerts that are available. They have been selected because they are the most commonly seen alerts and also provide actionable details that are associated with the alert.
These 89 alerts are as follows: (NOTE: These CLARiiON Event Numbers are subject to change with each version of the CLARiiON Management Pack)

Setting CLARiiON Monitoring for use with SCOM
1. Navisphere Agent Installed on CXMonitoringServer
2. Proper credentials need to be setup during install
3. CXMonitoringServer needs registration with the CLARiiON Array
4. CXMonitoringServer needs to have proper credentials on the SP Agent tab in order to be used as monitoring station.
5. On the CLARiiON array, a template needs to be created linking which events will be logged into the Windows Application Log as shown below in figure 1. The below picture shows this SCOM_Template properties as well as which storage system this template is in use for and which Windows System the template is logging to the Application Event Log.
6. NOTE: In this example I've selected only the CLARiiON Alert events because they contain all of the listed event numbers above as well as few more....best practice will be to select only the events that will cause a SCOM alert to be raised, thus only select the 89 events listed above.
7. Once the template is in place the array will beginning logging events within the Windows Event Viewer Application Event Log as shown below in figure 2. The events circled below are examples of what the events look like when they are generated on the Windows Application Event log.
Installing SCOM Agent on a CXMonitoringStation
There are a few different ways manage the CXMonitoringStation from SCOM:
•(Default) From the SCOM Server you can push the SCOM Agent on the hosts you wish to monitor.
•Install the Agent directly on the host you are going to monitor via a CD or network share.
•Or you can elect not to install an agent on the server being monitored (known as Agentless Managed)
Microsoft recommends using the default method which will push the SCOM Agent onto the host that will be monitored from the SCOM server. If for some reason ports are blocked that are needed to push the SCOM Agent onto the monitoring server then you'll have to install the SCOM Agent onto the monitoring server via CD or network share. In the steps below I'll show you how to install the SCOM Agent by pushing the Agent from the SCOM server onto the monitoring server.
1. From the SCOM Server select Administration and Agent Managed
2. Right click on the Agent Managed and select Discovery Wizard
3. Select Advanced Discovery and in the drop down under Computer & Device type select Servers & Clients click next
4. Select Browse for or Type-in Computer name and add the CXMonitoringStations Computer name click next
5. Select the Computer you want to management and select the Management Mode (in this case Agent Managed) and select next. Shown below in Figure 3
6. Change or leave the Agent installation directory and select your preferred account settings (default is recommended) and then click finish
7. This will begin the installation of the SCOM Agent onto the CXMonitoringStation.
Importing CLARiiON Management Pack on SCOM Server
SCOM Server has several default management packs that comes with the installation of the SCOM server itself. The reason for this is so other third party management packs can leverage the work that exists within the default management packs in order to prevent duplicate work. The CLARiiONMP.mp file is the name of the management pack that needs to be imported into SCOM server in order to for SCOM Administrators to begin reaping the benefits of CLARiiON Alerts within SCOM.
To import the CLARiiON Management Pack
1. Select Administration and then right click on Management Packs and select Import Management Pack
2. Browse for the path of the CLARiiONMP.mp file and import the management pack.
If you are upgrading from and earlier version of the management pack you can just re-import the new management pack and it will override the old management pack without issues. Once the management pack is imported you can begin testing the SCOM pack to ensure it is working properly.
