Background Information  
Preface  
1.2  
Background Information  
ServerView runs on heterogeneous networks using the network management  
protocol SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and can be easily  
linked with other management systems (e.g. HP OpenView NNM, IBM Tivoli  
NetView, Microsoft SMS, Novell ManageWise) via standardized interfaces.  
ServerView enables a trouble-free integration of Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY  
servers in enterprise-wide network management systems such as Tivoli.  
ServerView monitors important server components such as hard drives, fans  
and power supplies. If the values specified for these parameters are exceeded  
or an error occurs, appropriate messages are issued, and corrective measures  
are initiated if required.  
All Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY servers on a network can be monitored from  
any standard PC running Windows 2000, Windows 2003 or Windows XP using  
the server management software ServerView.  
Server management offers operators of large networks decisive advantages:  
Increased productivity due to more reliable servers  
Reduced costs due to automatic monitoring of the data processing infra-  
structure  
Flexible system expansion, since ServerView can be easily adapted to  
changing conditions  
Shorter downtimes due to simplified error analysis  
Shorter response times when errors occur  
Lower total operating costs (total cost of ownership) due to efficient utili-  
zation of network components and their resources  
Ease of use through software ergonomics: clear presentation of data, intel-  
ligent user interfaces and a help system for user support

Introduction  
ServerView is a software package that monitors all important server functions  
such as the hard disk, fans, power supply and temperature and reports the  
measured values on a central monitoring console.  
You can run ServerView Integration in NetView on Windows 2000, Windows  
2003 and Windows XP. ServerView Integration lets you use the functionality of  
ServerView and IBM Tivoli NetView at a central administration system.  
2.1  
Overview  
The Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY servers are shown in the map of NetView.  
Following installation of ServerView Integration in NetView you can administer  
the PRIMERGY servers from the central management console:  
They appear as graphic symbols on the NetView map.  
Incoming traps are displayed in the Event Browser.  
Automatic reactions to traps can be configured and triggered.  
Values of MIB variables can be queried, saved, and analyzed periodically.  
The integration of ServerView Integration in NetView offers the following  
benefits:  
Management investments already made are unaffected.  
All devices on the network are presented in a centrally managed map.  
The overall status of a device, which can be determined in the context of  
other managers, is shown.  
The same methods are used to display, monitor, and evaluate all managed  
devices in order to support rapid and, if required, automatic response to  
failures.  
Network components and their resources are used efficiently.  
Maximum performance and minimum failure times ensure an optimum  
cost/benefit ratio.

Definitions of Terms  
Introduction  
2.2  
Definitions of Terms  
Global directory names of NetView  
NetView is installed in the folder \usr\ov on the drive stored in the  
environment variable NV_DRIVE.  
The “ServerView Integration in NetView” product  
The “ServerView Integration in NetView” product consists of an  
integration package that you can add on to an existing NetView instal-  
lation.  
ServerView application  
ServerView is a server management software for all devices with  
ServerView agents. When integrated in NetView under Windows, it is  
used to graphically display the MIB variables of the corresponding MIBs  
and to configure the servers. You can install ServerView from the  
PRIMERGY ServerView Suite Software CD.  
Map application  
The Map application is part of the integration package. It is automatically  
started whenever the symbol for a PRIMERGY server is assigned to an  
object of a map in NetView. Such assignments can occur automatically  
via a call to the Poll application for all objects or can be made manually  
by the user at the NetView console.  
Poll application  
The Poll application is part of the integration package. It supports  
searching for devices with installed ServerView agents and is called by  
the user via the MIsc – Extended Discovery – Discover Fujitsu Siemens  
Server menu.  
Object  
In the context of NetView, an object is the representation of a physical  
object in the NetView database. In this database, an object has a defined  
set of properties. An object may be displayed in the NetView map by one  
or more (possibly different) symbols.

Introduction  
Symbol  
Definitions of Terms  
In NetView a symbol represents just one object in the NetView database  
in the NetView map. The status of a symbol can be determined from the  
following three sources:  
from the status of the associated object,  
from the status of all subordinate symbols  
(i.e. symbols in the submap of that symbol)  
from the symbol’s own status  
(regardless of the object represented - this enables objects to be  
represented by symbols with different statuses, depending on the  
object context).  
ServerView device  
This manual uses the term ServerView device to refer to objects from the  
NetView database for which the properties ServerViewObj and Node are  
set and which are represented by at least one symbol of the type  
Computer:FujitsuSiemens Primergy in the NetView map.  
The physical devices corresponding to these objects should be  
Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY servers with installed ServerView agents.  
ServerView is the manager for these devices.  
ServerView component object or ServerView component symbol  
This manual uses the term ServerView component object to refer to the  
component object of a ServerView device. A component object is used  
to represent a specific hardware, software or logical component of a  
device. The ServerView component objects are managed by the Map  
application. They are used to represent the ServerView status of the  
associated ServerView device from the viewpoint of ServerView. The  
capabilities ServerViewObj and Software are set for these objects.  
The ServerView component symbol is the graphic representation of the  
ServerView component object in the NetView map. It reflects the current  
status of the device from the viewpoint of ServerView and has the symbol  
type Software:FujitsuServerView.

Installation  
Before you start installing the “ServerView Integration in NetView” integration  
package, please make sure that you read all the installation requirements in this  
section.  
If you want to install the integration package in a NetView client/server  
environment, proceed as follows:  
1. ServerView Integration in NetView must be first installed on the NetView  
server.  
2. If you need the functionality of the integration package on a NetView client,  
you can then install the package on that client.  
3.1  
Hardware Requirements for All Systems  
On your system, at least 2 MB of free disk space must be available in the global  
directory structure of NetView.  
3.2  
Software Requirements for Windows NT  
The software on the system must meet the following requirements:  
Windows 2000 (with Service Pack 1 or higher), Windows 2003 or Windows  
XP must be installed as the operating system.  
NetView V7.1 or higher must be installed in single, client or server mode.  
In NetView, two free contiguous event numbers in the range 1001 to 1999  
must be available in the "NetView" enterprise.  
I
Note that the installation of the ServerView V3.x software must occur  
before the installation NetView V7.1 if both management programs are  
I to be run on the same system.  
The installation and every call to the ServerView application activates the  
SNMP Trap Service on the system, which uses port 162. Since port 162  
is also used by the NetView daemons, you should stop and disable the  
SNMP Trap Service manually (via the Services in the Control Panel)  
before starting the NetView daemon.

This chapter describes how you can start up and manage the components  
installed with the integration package.  
In NetView you can automatically search your network for any network compo-  
nents in the “managed objects” (Discovery). With Discovery, NetView accesses  
the SNMP agents and assigns corresponding default symbols to the various  
device types.  
The components found are entered in the submap of the relevant device (e.g.  
IP interfaces or network cards).  
5.1  
Configuring Fujitsu Siemens Servers with  
the Map Application  
Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY servers must be configured for the following  
reasons:  
The servers should be visibly distinguishable from other devices in the map.  
The status of the ServerView agents should be mapped to appropriate  
component symbols in the map.  
I
Fujitsu Siemens servers can be configured only in a map with read/write  
privileges. The Map application makes changes to the objects and  
symbols in the NetView map.

Configuration and Operation  
5.1.1 Creating a ServerView Component Symbol for a  
Fujitsu Siemens Server  
The Map application creates a ServerView component symbol in the submap of  
a Fujitsu Siemens server with the following capabilities:  
The symbol type is set to Software:FujitsuSiemensServerView  
The label of the symbol is set to ServerView  
The Status Source attribute of the symbol is set to Propagated, i.e., the status  
of the ServerView component symbol is derived from the status of the  
related object  
The status of the related object is initially set to Unknown  
The selection name of the server object and the suffix :ServerView form the  
selection name of the ServerView component object  
The default capabilities of the ServerView component object are set in  
accordance with the corresponding symbol definition file

Configuring with the Map Application  
5.1.2 Selection Name  
The Map application automatically assigns the selection name of the  
ServerView component symbol, which depends on the selection name of the  
parent server.  
I
Neither the selection name of the server, nor the selection name of the  
ServerView component symbol should be changed manually.  
If, however, it is absolutely necessary for the selection name of a  
Fujitsu Siemens server to be changed, proceed as follows:  
Ê
Select the menu item Misc – Extended Discovery – Reset selected Fujitsu  
Siemens Server for the relevant Fujitsu Siemens server. This deletes the  
ServerView component symbol from the submap of the server and sets the  
symbol type to a default value other than FujitsuSiemens.  
Ê
Ê
Change the selection name of the server.  
Change the symbol type of at least one of the symbols for this server back  
to FujitsuSiemens. This causes the Map application to regenerate the  
ServerView component symbol (with a corresponding selection name).

5.1.3 Changes to the Fujitsu Siemens Server  
The Status Source attribute of the symbol is set to Propagated, i.e. the status of  
the symbol for the server is derived from the status of all component symbols.  
The default capabilities of the server are set in accordance with the corre-  
sponding symbol definition file.  
Figure 20: Server symbol  
Fujitsu Siemens servers and the associated ServerView component symbols  
are configured by the Map application when the following events occur:  
when the symbol type of an existing device is changed to  
Computer:FujitsuSiemens.  
The configuration is then performed for the affected node.  
when a new device with the symbol type Computer:FujitsuSiemens is created.  
The configuration is then performed for the affected node.

Configuring with the Map Application  
5.1.4 Manually Configuring a Fujitsu Siemens Server  
Select the symbol of the server in the map. You now have two methods by which  
you can configure a single node as a Fujitsu Siemens server:  
1. Using the Context menu, change the symbol type to FujitsuSiemens.  
2. Create a new server with one of these two symbol types in the map by  
selecting the menu item Object – New.  
This creates a server as a Fujitsu Siemens server with the appropriate capabil-  
ities and a ServerView component symbol in the map (see the section “Config-  
configuration is performed even if there are several other existing symbols for  
the object with different symbol types already present in the current map.  
5.1.5 Resetting a Manual Configuration  
If you want to reset this configuration, you must first make sure that there is no  
further symbol with the symbol type FujitsuSiemens. Resetting a server is  
achieved via the menu item Misc – Extended Discovery – Reset selected Fujitsu  
Siemens Server. This changes the symbol and some of the capabilities of the  
server accordingly. The ServerView component symbol in the related submap  
is deleted unless there is at least one other symbol for this device with the  
symbol type FujitsuSiemens.  
I
The component symbol is deleted only when the server is no longer  
represented by any symbol with the symbol type FujitsuSiemens.  
5.1.6 Automatic Search and Configuration of all  
Fujitsu Siemens Servers  
Under the Misc menu item of the NetView main menu, you can start the Poll  
application with the option Extended Discovery – Discover Fujitsu Siemens Server.  
NetView automatically assigns the symbol type of a node, which depends on  
the value of the MIB variable sysObjectID. For each known value of the  
sysObjectID MIB variable, an associated symbol type is defined in the  
\usr\ov\conf\c\oid_to_sym file.

37  
     
Configuring with the Map Application  
Configuration and Operation  
The Poll application enables the symbol type to be assigned more precisely. It  
can determine the symbol type of a device by checking whether a specific MIB  
object is supported by that device.  
All Poll application output is sent to the shell in which NetView was started. The  
change in symbol type has the following effect in connection with the Map appli-  
cation: the Map application configures the related node as a Fujitsu Siemens  
server by changing the symbol type to FujitsuSiemens.  
I
Note the effects of the SNMP parameter settings in NetView in this  
context:  
If you have defined the wrong Community-String for a device, the request of  
the Poll application will be rejected, and the device will not be detected  
correctly.  
If you have selected a Timeout value that is too low, the requests may be  
aborted before a response can be received. If the Timeout value is too high,  
this will lead to delays when polling devices which do not have SNMP agents  
or for which the SNMP agent is inactive.  
The reliability of the network connections is determined by the Retry-Count.  
If you have selected too high a Retry-Count, this will lead to delays when  
polling devices which do not have SNMP agents or for which the SNMP  
agent is inactive.  
I
Set the IPMAP_NO_SYMBOL_CHANGES environment variable in the  
runtime environment of NetView to TRUE. This prevents changes to the  
symbol types from being reset by NetView as part of the Configuration  
V Monitoring, which runs continuously.  
Warning  
Do not terminate NetView while the Poll application is running.  
5.1.7 Configuration File of the Poll Application  
In the $OV_BIN/ServerViewPoll.cfg file you will find the definitions of the tests  
performed by this application. Each entry in this file has the following format (the  
quotes and commas are part of the syntax and must always be specified):  
SYSOID="sysObjectID_Value",OBJECT="MIB_ObjectID",  
NEWSYMBOL="New_Symbol_Type"  
38  
Integration in Tivoli NetView

Configuration and Operation  
sysObjectID_Value  
Configuring with the Map Application  
This parameter identifies a value for the MIB variable sysObjectID from  
the MIB-II in dot notation, beginning with a period, for example:  
“.1.3.6.1.4.1.231.1.3.1” - this is the value returned by all SINIX-N  
systems as a sysObjectID. All nodes returning this value for sysObject are  
to be tested for support of the MIB variables with object identifier  
MIB_ObjectID.  
In NetView you can use the “Configuration - System Information” menu  
item to check if a specific node returns a value for sysObjectID and which  
value is returned.  
MIB_ObjectID  
This parameter identifies a MIB variable that must be supported by each  
individual node in order to receive the new symbol type. This variable is  
specified with the object instance (always “.0” for scalar objects) without  
the period prefix. For example, “1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.10.2.1.3.0” identifies  
the object sniInvCondition from the inventory MIB.  
New_Symbol_Type  
This parameter identifies the symbol type to be assigned to all symbols  
(in the open map) of a node supporting the specified MIB variable. This  
symbol type must be a type already known in NetView, and is specified  
by entering the symbol class and symbol subclass, separated by a colon,  
e.g. Computer:FujitsuSiemens. You can view the symbol types defined in  
NetView by selecting the Object – New menu option. If this parameter is  
not a symbol type known in NetView, the Poll application terminates  
immediately.  
Blank lines and comment lines (which must start with “#” in the first column) are  
permitted in this configuration file.  
The lines of the configuration file are compared against each node in the order  
in which they are specified. If there are several lines with the same  
sysObjectID_Value, only the first line specified is valid; other lines with the same  
sysObjectID_Value are ignored. The node is always tested only for support of the  
MIB variables from the first matching line. In this case, “matching” means that  
the node returns the specified value for the MIB variable sysObjectID and there  
is no symbol representing the node in the open map which has the symbol type  
New_Symbol_Type.

Status Indication in the Map  
5.2.1 The Status from the Viewpoint of NetView  
NetView determines the status of a device in the map by sending ICMP echo  
requests to the respective device. The status determined by this method only  
indicates the accessibility state of the device. To present the ServerView status  
described below, the Map application creates a ServerView component symbol  
in the submap of the server.  
NetView determines the status of a correctly configured Fujitsu Siemens server  
from the status of all its component symbols (attribute Status Source of the  
symbol equals Propagated), e.g., from the ServerView status and the status of  
all interfaces.  
I
The ServerView status can be determined only if the server is accessible  
via SNMP. If it is not, the status of the ServerView component symbol is  
no longer updated. The server is then monitored by NetView's monitoring  
V of the other components.  
Warning  
If the monitoring for the other components of a server by NetView is  
disabled, it is possible that a failure of that server may not be reflected by  
a status change of the corresponding symbol in the NetView map. This  
could occur, for example, if the submap of the server contains only the  
ServerView symbol and a symbol for the interface, and the user deletes  
the interface symbol or sets this interface component object to  
unmanaged.  
5.2.2 The ServerView Status  
For Fujitsu Siemens servers with installed ServerView subagents, you can  
obtain more detailed information on the status of the device than just its avail-  
ability status. For this reason, the sniInvCondition object from the INVENTORY-  
MIB depicts the overall status of all ServerView agents on the relevant device.  
The status returned is always the most critical state among all the ServerView  
agents.  
By monitoring these MIB variables, you can therefore determine the status of a  
device from the viewpoint of ServerView.

5.2.3 Automatic Monitoring of the ServerView Status  
The following components automatically monitor this ServerView status:  
Data Collection for the MIB object sniInvCondition from the INVENTORY-MIB  
The Threshold and Rearm events for this Data Collection  
A reaction script for evaluating the values received, which sets the status of  
the ServerView component symbol accordingly.  
I
All devices for which this status monitoring is enabled must be configured  
as Fujitsu Siemens servers, i.e., represented by at least one symbol with  
the symbol type FujitsuSiemens in the map. If you do not want any such  
status monitoring to be performed, you can undo the configuration of the  
nodes.  
5.2.4 How Status Monitoring Works  
The value of the MIB variable sniInvCondition is periodically polled for each  
required Fujitsu Siemens server via the Data Collection.  
I
To keep the network load down to a minimum, you should adapt the  
“generic” Data Collection created during the installation of the integration  
package (with the source definition “*.*.*.*”) before using it.  
The related threshold monitoring is defined so that both the Threshold and the  
Rearm events are triggered at each successful poll.  
As a reaction to the Threshold event, the \usr\ov\bin\setServerViewStatus.bat  
reaction script is executed. This script receives the NetView-Object-ID of the  
corresponding server and the current value of the MIB variable sniInvCondition  
as its parameters. No automatic reaction is involved in the Rearm event. It  
simply serves to reactivate the Threshold event.  
The \usr\ov\bin\setServerViewStatus.bat script determines a corresponding  
NetView status from the ServerView status and the selection name of the  
related ServerView component symbol from the NetView-Object-ID of the  
server involved. The determined status of this ServerView component symbol  
is then set in the submap of the server using the OV_Set_Status_Color event.

Status Indication in Map  
Configuration and Operation  
The Fujitsu Siemens servers are configured by the Map application and the Poll  
application so that NetView can determine the status of a server from the status  
of all of its component symbols. Consequently, such status changes are passed  
up through the map hierarchy and can change the status of the relevant server,  
segment, network, etc.  
You can influence this procedure by performing various configuration steps:  
When configuring the Data Collection, select a suitable polling interval and  
enter all the Fujitsu Siemens servers to be monitored in the Source list. Use  
the menu option Tools – MIB – Collect, select snilnfCondition and the click on  
Properties and Polling Properties one after the other.  
I
When doing this, do not change the Specific Event Number - it is  
automatically assigned during the installation of the integration package,  
based on the previously defined Threshold events.  
The events SVPollThresh and SVPollRearm are assigned to the event category  
Don´t log or display. Consequently, they do not appear in the event browser  
and are not recorded in the log file. If you want to change this behavior, you  
can assign a different event category to these events.  
A NetView status is determined in the reaction script from the value of the  
MIB variable sniInvCondition.  
If necessary, you can modify this script and adapt the assignments to meet  
your needs.  
The OV_Set_Status_Color event is generated by the reaction script at each  
successful poll. To prevent this event from being recorded in the event  
browser and/or the log file, you can change the event category for this event  
accordingly (Don´t log or display or Log only).  
5.2.5 Resetting the ServerView Status Manually  
To reset the status of a Fujitsu Siemens server in the NetView map, proceed as  
follows:  
Ê
From the context menu of the node in the map, select the item Unmanage  
Object to place the node in the unconfigured state.  
Ê
Select the item Manage Object from the context menu of the node in the map  
to place the node with the set configuration in the initial state.

Figure 24: Submap of a server with component symbols  
Component symbols can be created and managed by NetView itself or by any  
other applications such as the Map application, for example.  
The overall status of all ServerView agents on a server is determined by a Data  
Collection with Threshold monitoring and an associated reaction script and  
mapped to the ServerView component symbol in the submap of that server. This  
component symbol thus corresponds to the status icon in the server list of  
ServerView.  
If the status of the ServerView component symbol changes to Major, for example,  
the status of the parent server symbol is updated in accordance with the propa-  
gation rules and the original status. This mechanism enables a status to be  
forwarded up to the highest level in the map hierarchy.  
Such status changes inform the network administrator about problems that have  
occurred. The administrator can then track these status changes down from a  
higher-level map until he or she finally reaches the map that shows the  
relevant server. A quick look at the submap of the server immediately indicates  
which component of the system is in an alarm state and which manager can be  
used to track this state further.
