    Hi,

    Monitoring SAN switches and storage devices like StoreOnce and MSL Tape Library with SCOM 2019 involves several steps. Here’s a general guide to get you started:

    1. Install Management Packs: Ensure you have the necessary management packs for your SAN switches and storage devices.
    2. Configure SNMP: Set up SNMP on your SAN switches and storage devices. This allows SCOM to communicate with and monitor these devices.
    3. Add Devices to SCOM: Use the SCOM console to discover and add your SAN switches and storage devices. This typically involves specifying the IP addresses and SNMP community strings.
    4. Create Monitoring Rules: Define rules and monitors in SCOM to track the performance and health of your devices. This can include monitoring metrics like disk usage, network throughput, and error rates.
    5. Set Up Alerts: Configure alerts to notify you of any issues or performance degradation. This helps in proactive management and quick resolution of problems.

    For detailed instructions, you might want to refer to the specific user guides for your devices
