HP EVA KM for PATROL enables administrators to monitor their HP EVA disk arrays directly from the PATROL console avoiding the need to use a separate monitoring solution. The KM collects and brings critical performance data and useful metrics into your BMC Performance Manager environment. As part of the Sentry Software Storage solution HP EVA KM for PATROL covers performance counters while Hardware Sentry KM for PATROL collects hardware-related information.

HP EVA KM for PATROL requires HP Storageworks v9.1 to be properly installed on the server. Most information is collected via the HP EVAPERF.EXE utility, which requires no configuration. However, some additional information such as virtual disk size, node name, RAID array, etc. is collected via the Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU.EXE). Valid account credentials (username and password) are required to run SSSU.
To enter the HP Command View EVA credentials:
- Right-click the HP EVA icon in the PATROL console > KM Commands > KM Settings > HP Command View EVA Credentials...
- Enter the valid username and password for HP Command View EVA
- Click OK to validate.
