NetBackup Appliances and SCOM

Hi

Just wondering if anybody was successfully monitoring Netbackup Appliances using SCOM 2012 R2.

I tried using the SCOm Discovery to monitor one of ours, treating it just like a linux server, and received an error saying that the server refused to start a shell/command.

Not necessarily after a resolution to the error, but would be interested to know whether anybody has got this sort of monitoring working.

 

Thanks

Ian

  • Doesn't look like there ever was, or will be, any SCOM intergration:

    ...but it looks like NetBackup OpsCenter can:

    ...so, maybe you could have OpsCenter monitor your appliances, and then have SCOM hook in to OpsCenter.

  • You can also setup SNMP traps and allow SCOM to monitor it this way.
