To ensure the integrity of your download, HPE recommends verifying your results with this SHA-256 Checksum value:
Reboot Requirement: Reboot is required after installation for updates to take effect and hardware stability to be maintained.
Installation:
Installing Offline Bundles on an vSphere 6.5 Host Using vSphere CLI 6.5 esxcli Utility
You can use the esxcli utility in conjunction with offline bundles or with a depot. This topic describes the procedure using offline bundles.
Prerequisites Before you can update or patch an vSphere 6.5 host from the command line, you must have access to a machine on which you can run the VMware vSphere Command-Line Interface 6.5 (vSphere CLI). You can install the vSphere CLI on your Microsoft Windows or Linux system. For information about importing or installing the vSphere CLI 6.5, see the VMware vSphere Command-Line Interface Installation and Reference Guide.
Procedure
Power off any virtual machines that are running on the host and place the host into maintenance mode.
Transfer the offline bundle onto the ESXi host local path, or extract it onto an online depot.
Install the bundle on the ESXi host.
Install remotely from client, with offline bundle contents on a online depot: esxcli -s <server> -u root -p mypassword software vib install -d <depotURL/bundle-index.xml>
Install remotely from client, with offline bundle on ESXi host: esxcli -s <server> -u root -p mypassword software vib install -d <ESXi local path><bundle.zip>
Install from ESXi host, with offline bundle on ESXi host: esxcli software vib install -d <ESXi local path><bundle.zip>
After the bundle is installed, reboot the ESXi host for the updates to take effect.
(Optional) Verify that the vibs on the bundle are installed on your ESXi host. esxcli -s <server> -u root -p mypassword software vib list
(Optional) Remove individual vibs. <vib name> can be identified by listing the vibs as shown in #5. esxcli -s <server> -u root -p mypassword software vib remove -n <vib name>
Installing Offline Bundles on an vSphere 6.5 Host Using VMware vCenter Update Manager
The offline bundle can also be installed from VMware vCenter Update Manager as a patch. For more information and detailed instructions, see the VMware vCenter Update Manager Administration Guide.

With the enterprise storage scenario evolving rapidly, a dedicated storage solution is essential for organizations in order to increase security and reliability of data. According to statistics, the amount of data in an enterprise network doubles every year. With data growing at this rate, it is important for businesses and data centers to have a storage monitoring software in order to manage their data effectively.
Understand that the 3PAR SNMP Agent exposes a handful of basic system properties, such as system name, description, location and contact, and is limited to snmpget monitoring of CPU Stats (see the new 3PAR OS 3.3.1 cpuStatsMIB), while the ThreeParMIB.mib provides support for SNMP ‘alertNotify’ Traps (all alerts coming in under a common OID. Grafana.com provides a central repository where the community can come together to discover and share dashboards. Use these MIBs to manage and capture information from various Hewlett-Packard equipment, including Hewlett-Packard routers, switches, other devices and software agents. There are a total of 148 Hewlett-Packard MIB downloads in this section, containing over 33474 OIDS (Object Identifiers) in the proprietary Hewlett-Packard subtree.
Network Storage Monitoring Software
Dedicated storage solutions call for a dedicated storage management software. OpManager's integrated storage monitoring solution gives you the freedom of managing all your network storage devices from a single pane. With advanced performance monitoring and extensive reporting, OpManager packs a ton of features such as 'Disk Read/Write' stats, capacity utilization monitors and storage growth trend graphs to efficiently manage and monitor your storage devices round-the-clock. It enables you to monitor SAN components such as Fiber channel switches, Storage Arrays, and Tape Libraries which form the backbone of enterprise applications.
Benefits of monitoring storage devices with OpManager:
Increased visibility with unified view of your storage environment
Reduced downtime with timely detection of storage problems
Save administrative time with effective in-depth reporting and alarm escalations
Lower total cost of ownership with NO extra software purchases
Simplified storage management at an affordable price
Storage Performance Monitoring with OpManager
For in-depth network storage monitoring, OpManager's predefined storage monitor can be associated with storage devices to view the availability, for storage performance monitoring and to monitor various parameters of storage devices. OpManager also allows you to configure thresholds and depending of the criticality of the fault condition, each event and alarm is assigned a severity. OpManager simplifies storage device monitoring and is one among the leading storage monitoring tool available in the market.
Storage RAID Management with OpManager
OpManager utilizes SNMP / CLI / SMI-S/ vendor-specific APIs to discover and monitor the RAIDs in your network. For in-depth storage device monitoring, OpManager offers advanced asset management with comprehensive physical and logical asset details. You can view the health, availability and utilization of storage RAIDs and get alerted in real-time on hardware and software problems, drive failures and sensor faults. Reports based on performance and availability of storage RAIDs can be instantly generated over a period of time to aid with trend analysis. OpManager also helps you visualize your RAID storage network with topological maps of connections, link details table and color-coded icons to display the status with drill down option.
OpManager' />
Tape Library Monitoring & Management with OpManager
