NetBackup Appliances and SCOM

[IMassey]

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.
