Release Notes v7100Because extended levels are not imported by default by the ETL in v103 some metrics might bemissing To ensure all metrics are imported you will have to set the collection level to [4] Extended

Whats NewSupport for EMC SMI-S provider v803

The new metric ST_DISK was added to the STOGLB dataset to expose the total number ofused disks

Changes and ImprovementsShares import configuration has been improved to be more user-friendly

Volumes Monitoring configuration has been improved to be more user-friendly A singleoption is now available to enabledisable volumes monitoring and volumes import

The following relations have been changed since v7000

Deprecated Relations New Relations

SA_CONTAINS_LUN SA_CONTAINS_VOLUME

FILER_CONTAINS_VFILER SA_CONTAINS_FILER

FILER_CONTAINS_VOLUME FILER_CONTAINS_SHARE

FILER_CONTAINS_AGGREGATE FILER_CONTAINS_SP

FILER_CONTAINS_LUN FILER_CONTAINS_VOLUME

SP_CONTAINS_LUN SP_CONTAINS_VOLUME

AGGREGATE_CONTAINS_VOLUME SP_CONTAINS_SHARE

VOLUME_CONTAINS_LUN SHARE_CONTAINS_VOLUME

Fixed IssuesAn error occurred when deploying the ETL package v7000 with BMC TrueSight CO 103 on anOracle database

Connectors loading has been improved to prevent failures when local store files arecorrupted

The connector caused the SMI-S provider to fail when too many connections remainedopened after interruption

Known IssueBecause the computation methods used by the EMC SMI-S provider differ between versions4 and 8 the ST_VOLUME_CONSUMED_CAPACITY and Storage Pools related metrics will notreturn the same value

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

Release Notes v7100Because extended levels are not imported by default by the ETL in v103 some metrics might bemissing To ensure all metrics are imported you will have to set the collection level to [4] Extended

Whats NewSupport for EMC SMI-S provider v803

The new metric ST_DISK was added to the STOGLB dataset to expose the total number ofused disks

Changes and ImprovementsShares import configuration has been improved to be more user-friendly

Volumes Monitoring configuration has been improved to be more user-friendly A singleoption is now available to enabledisable volumes monitoring and volumes import

The following relations have been changed since v7000

Deprecated Relations New Relations

SA_CONTAINS_LUN SA_CONTAINS_VOLUME

FILER_CONTAINS_VFILER SA_CONTAINS_FILER

FILER_CONTAINS_VOLUME FILER_CONTAINS_SHARE

FILER_CONTAINS_LUN FILER_CONTAINS_VOLUME

SP_CONTAINS_LUN SP_CONTAINS_VOLUME

AGGREGATE_CONTAINS_VOLUME SP_CONTAINS_SHARE

VOLUME_CONTAINS_LUN SHARE_CONTAINS_VOLUME

Fixed IssuesAn error occurred when deploying the ETL package v7000 with BMC TrueSight CO 103 on anOracle database

Connectors loading has been improved to prevent failures when local store files arecorrupted

The connector caused the SMI-S provider to fail when too many connections remainedopened after interruption

Known IssueBecause the computation methods used by the EMC SMI-S provider differ between versions4 and 8 the ST_VOLUME_CONSUMED_CAPACITY and Storage Pools related metrics will notreturn the same value

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

Release Notes v7100Because extended levels are not imported by default by the ETL in v103 some metrics might bemissing To ensure all metrics are imported you will have to set the collection level to [4] Extended

Whats NewSupport for EMC SMI-S provider v803

The new metric ST_DISK was added to the STOGLB dataset to expose the total number ofused disks

Changes and ImprovementsShares import configuration has been improved to be more user-friendly

Volumes Monitoring configuration has been improved to be more user-friendly A singleoption is now available to enabledisable volumes monitoring and volumes import

The following relations have been changed since v7000

Deprecated Relations New Relations

SA_CONTAINS_LUN SA_CONTAINS_VOLUME

FILER_CONTAINS_VFILER SA_CONTAINS_FILER

FILER_CONTAINS_VOLUME FILER_CONTAINS_SHARE

FILER_CONTAINS_AGGREGATE FILER_CONTAINS_SP

FILER_CONTAINS_LUN FILER_CONTAINS_VOLUME

SP_CONTAINS_LUN SP_CONTAINS_VOLUME

AGGREGATE_CONTAINS_VOLUME SP_CONTAINS_SHARE

VOLUME_CONTAINS_LUN SHARE_CONTAINS_VOLUME

Fixed IssuesAn error occurred when deploying the ETL package v7000 with BMC TrueSight CO 103 on anOracle database

Connectors loading has been improved to prevent failures when local store files arecorrupted

The connector caused the SMI-S provider to fail when too many connections remainedopened after interruption

Known IssueBecause the computation methods used by the EMC SMI-S provider differ between versions4 and 8 the ST_VOLUME_CONSUMED_CAPACITY and Storage Pools related metrics will notreturn the same value

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

Fixed IssuesAn error occurred when deploying the ETL package v7000 with BMC TrueSight CO 103 on anOracle database

Connectors loading has been improved to prevent failures when local store files arecorrupted

The connector caused the SMI-S provider to fail when too many connections remainedopened after interruption

Known IssueBecause the computation methods used by the EMC SMI-S provider differ between versions4 and 8 the ST_VOLUME_CONSUMED_CAPACITY and Storage Pools related metrics will notreturn the same value

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if your system is powerful enough to manage all the volumes tomonitor

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Configuring the ETLThis chapter details every steps required to configure an ETL Service and add it as an ETL taskresponsible for extracting capacity and performance metrics on EMC storage systems from theEMC SMI-S Provider and feeding it into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization DataWarehouse

To configure the ETL

1 Access the configuration window

In the Administration tab click ETL amp System Tasks gt ETL tasks

Press the Add button and select Add ETL

2 Expand the Run configuration menu

From the ETL module pull-down list select Storage - EMC SMI-S Agent Extractor Service

3 Click the Edit button to add all the available datasets

In the Available datasets list select the datasets to be added

Click

Click Apply

4 Expand the Entity catalog menu and select

Shared Entity Catalog to avoid duplicates if several ETLs extract data from the sameresources You will then have to specify the entity catalog with which this ETL will sharethe information

5 If you previously selected the [59] OBJREL - Object relationships dataset you can expand theObject relationships menu to indicate the Domain tree the imported entities will populate

choosing new Domain displays the domain default name Storage - EMC SMI-S AgentExtractor Service The default name is editable

choosing existing Domain allows you to select a specific domain

Expand the Connection settings menu

Enter the hostname or the IP address of the server where the EMC SMI-S Agent is running

Indicate the port number used by the EMC SMI-S Provider (default 5989)

Enter the username and password to connect to the EMC SMI-S Provider The defaultusername is Admin This username is set with the mandatory administrators rights If youwish to use a different username make sure it has administrators rights For detailedinformation about the rights management refer to the EMC SMI-S Providerdocumentation

Select the Transport Protocol used by the EMC SMI-S Provider (for HTTP the default port is5988 for HTTPS the default port is 5989)

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Collected andImported

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if your system is powerful enough to manage all the volumes tomonitor

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Grabbing All LogsThe log files of all BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization components can be easily retrieved byrunning the log grabber The procedure is as follows

1 Access the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Console

2 Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

3 Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

4 In the Administration tab click System gt Maintenance

5 Open the Maintenance Activities tab

6 Click to execute the Log Grabber

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Collected andImported

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if your system is powerful enough to manage all the volumes tomonitor

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

Step 3 Add a User to SMI-S provider 1 Access httpsltip-hostgt5989ecomconfig where ltip-hostgt is either the IP address of the

name of the SMI-S Provider host

2 Log in using the username admin and 1Password as password

3 Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator This newly created usernamecan now be used to obtain access to the Array Provider

Step 4 Add authorization information1 Shut down the EMC CIM Server (The service name is ECOMexe and it displays as ECOM in the

Services control panel)

2 Use the SYMCLI symcfg command as shown in the following syntax example to add theusername and password for each CLARiiON storage processor symcfg authorization add -hostHostName -username UserName -password PassWord

3 Add authorization for CLARiiON storage processor A with IP address ltip1gt username clariionand password clarpass using the following command symcfg auth add -host 1722319386 -username clariion -password clarpass

4 Then repeat the operation with CLARiiON storage processor B

You must list the information for storage processor A first then storage processor B Anytime a locally-attached CLARiiON is added to the EMC SMI-S Provider the EMC CIM Servermust first be shut down Once shut down the authorization information can be added asdescribed previously and the EMC CIM Server must be restarted

5 Start EMC CIM Server

The time set on the SMI-S Provider may dif fer f rom the Scheduler time To ensure an accurate timeinformation it is recommended to synchronize the SMI-S Provider time with the time set on the Scheduler

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Collected andImported

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if your system is powerful enough to manage all the volumes tomonitor

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Enabling StatisticsOn EMC CLARiiON and VNX storage systems the statistics need to be enabled to allow EMC SMI-SAgent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to monitor performance

Using Navisphere1 In Navisphere enable Statistics logging

Open Navisphere

Right-click the icon for the storage system

Click Properties

Be sure SP A and SP B are in the Storage Processors section

Click the box for Statistics Logging under the Configuration section

2 For locally attached CLARiiONs check if authorization info is present

3 Run the dv command from EMC TestSMIProvider Make sure all arrays are discoveredwithout any errors

4 Make sure performance is turned on in the Profile for storage arrays

5 Make sure there are instances for the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData class

Run Tek-Tools testProvider or EMCrsquos testSMIProvider

Type ein for command

Type CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData for Class Name

If no instances are returned reset EMC Provider

6 Once complete resume steps 1-3

If you are using a version older than SMIKit 642 the EMC SMI-S Provider does not recognize changes inthe array when a LUN or RAID Group is created or deleted from Navisphere It is thus recommended toupgrade your EMC SMI-S Provider to version 642 or higher to benef it f rom the auto-synchronizationmechanism set by default to one hour after the last update If you do not upgrade your EMC SMI-SProvider you will have to run the refsys command from testsmiprovider each time you create or delete LUNor RAID groups f rom Navisphere

Configuring the ETLThis chapter details every steps required to configure an ETL Service and add it as an ETL taskresponsible for extracting capacity and performance metrics on EMC storage systems from theEMC SMI-S Provider and feeding it into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization DataWarehouse

To configure the ETL

1 Access the configuration window

In the Administration tab click ETL amp System Tasks gt ETL tasks

Press the Add button and select Add ETL

2 Expand the Run configuration menu

From the ETL module pull-down list select Storage - EMC SMI-S Agent Extractor Service

3 Click the Edit button to add all the available datasets

In the Available datasets list select the datasets to be added

Click

Click Apply

4 Expand the Entity catalog menu and select

Shared Entity Catalog to avoid duplicates if several ETLs extract data from the sameresources You will then have to specify the entity catalog with which this ETL will sharethe information

5 If you previously selected the [59] OBJREL - Object relationships dataset you can expand theObject relationships menu to indicate the Domain tree the imported entities will populate

choosing new Domain displays the domain default name Storage - EMC SMI-S AgentExtractor Service The default name is editable

choosing existing Domain allows you to select a specific domain

Expand the Connection settings menu

Enter the hostname or the IP address of the server where the EMC SMI-S Agent is running

Indicate the port number used by the EMC SMI-S Provider (default 5989)

Enter the username and password to connect to the EMC SMI-S Provider The defaultusername is Admin This username is set with the mandatory administrators rights If youwish to use a different username make sure it has administrators rights For detailedinformation about the rights management refer to the EMC SMI-S Providerdocumentation

Select the Transport Protocol used by the EMC SMI-S Provider (for HTTP the default port is5988 for HTTPS the default port is 5989)

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Collected andImported

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if your system is powerful enough to manage all the volumes tomonitor

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Collected andImported

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if your system is powerful enough to manage all the volumes tomonitor

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Collected andImported

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if your system is powerful enough to manage all the volumes tomonitor

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Customizing Volumes SharesMonitoringDiscovering volumes andor shares and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resourceconsumption administrators can disable or enable the volumes andor shares monitoring at willand fine-tune the creation of volume andor share entities into the BMC TrueSight CapacityOptimization environment

To customize volumesshares monitoring1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Customizing Volumes and Shares Monitoring

3 From the SharesVolumes pull-down lists select one of the following options

Option Result

Disabled VolumesShares are not discoveredVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if the number of volumesshares to manage signif icantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumesshares monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect save orprocess their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources may beimpacted (see table below and reference guide)

Collected formetriccomputation(Default)

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if you wish to collect and process volumeshares-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will however beused to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce the resourceconsumption of your system

Collected andImported

All volumesshares are discovered and their metrics are collected andprocessedVolumesshares-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console

Use this conf iguration if your system is powerful enough to manage all the volumes tomonitor

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Introduction

The Sentry Software support team may ask you to provide log files to better diagnose the natureof a problem You can either choose to

Collect logs for a specific ETL (recommended)

Grab all logs

Please note that both methods require to

Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

Grabbing All LogsThe log files of all BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization components can be easily retrieved byrunning the log grabber The procedure is as follows

1 Access the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Console

2 Set the log level to 10 - Verbose

3 Wait for the connector to collect data (usually 1 hour) On some rare occasions a highlydetailed collect (discovery) is required In that case the scheduler service will need to berestarted

4 In the Administration tab click System gt Maintenance

5 Open the Maintenance Activities tab

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team

EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization leverages the EMC SMI-S Providerto collect capacity and performance metrics Because some connectivity issues may exist andcause EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to fail it is highlyrecommended to test the connection to the EMC SMI-S Provider before contacting the SentrySupport Team

To troubleshoot connectivity issues

1 Download the connection tool required from the Sentry Software Website (Downloadssection of your product) Please note that the connection tool requires Java v16 or higher

2 Run the command java -jar EMC_ConnectionTool_V1000jar to launch the connection tool

3 Enter the information required to connect to the system and click Test Connection

4 Wait for the test to complete If a connectivity issue is detected an error message willappear In this case the issue encountered does not concern EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMCTrueSight Capacity Optimization Check your configuration to diagnose the source of theissue

5 Click Save As to export the connection test results into a txt file You can then send thisinformation to the Sentry Support Team
