Integrating SCOM 2016 with HPE OneView 4.0

HPE has come out with a Management Pack for HPE OneView for System Center Operations Manager 2016, this will help us monitor hardware connected to OneView.

Extracting the HPE OneView Management Packs

First, we will need to download the OneView management pack for SCOM; you can download it from my blog on this link.
Extract the OneView management pack zip file to a location on your SCOM server.

3. Run the MasterInstaller application that is found in the folder where you extracted the HPE OneView for Microsoft System Center zip file, make sure you Run as administrator when running the MasterInstaller!

4. A new window called HPE Oneview for Microsoft Center 9.0 will open up, we will begin by installing the HPE OneView SCOM Integration Kit 4.0.10, click Install HPE OneView SCOM Integration Kit 4.0.10 to continue.

5. A HPE OneView SCOM Integration Kit installation wizard will open up, click Next to continue.

6. Next up accept the license agreement and click Next to continue.

7. Choose the location where you want to install the OneView SCOM Integration Kit, in this guide I will go with the default option, click Next to continue.

8. In the following step, you will have to choose which components you want to be installed.

9. Note that the HPE OneView Event Manager has to be installed on your SCOM management server in order to be able to use the HPE OneView SCOM management pack, the installation wizard will notify you about this.

10. As this is a new installation we will need to check both check boxes, continue by clicking Next.

3. Now right click Management Packs and choose Import Management Packs…

4. An Import Management Packs window will open, click Add and then choose Add from disk …

Note: The pop up window will ask you whether you want to search online for management pack dependencies, just click No to continue.

5. Now navigate to the location where we previously installed the HPE OneView SCOM Integration Kit, as this is where the OneView management packs are.In our case we chose the default installation location so the management packs will be in C:\Program Files\HPE OneView Management Packs\Management Packs.

6. Select all management packs and then click Open.

7. You should now see all the management packs that you selected in the Import Management Packs wizard, click Install to finish.

3. Go to the folder where you extracted your HPE Storage SCOM Integration Kit files, in my case it's "C:\Install", then right click: HPEStorageManagementPackforSystemCenter and Run as administrator.

If you are not installing this on a SCOM management server, choose the second option Collection Point Server:
Server where Operations Manager agent is deployed and where SNMP traps are received. In this guide I'm going with the default option, OpsMgr Server: Requires Management Server deployed on this server.

8. In the next window you will get 8 different HPE Storage management pack components, choose the one(s) that you will need. In my case I will just pick all.
Note: The HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage, HPE StoreVirtual Storage and the HPE MSA Storage requires the System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) console to be installed on the current server, you will be notified about it, see below.

We will now create a connection between OneView and SCOM by adding OneView to the Operations Console.

Open the SCOM Operations Console and navigate to the Monitoring navigation pane.

2. Now you should see all the HPE OneView and HPE Storage monitoring objects that we recently installed, click on HPE OneView Systems and select Configuration Dashboard.
