1 Introduction to Enterprise Manager

Enterprise Manager allows you to monitor, manage, and analyze Storage Centers andFluidFS clusters from a centralized management console. The Enterprise Manager DataCollector stores data and alerts it gathers from Storage Centers and FluidFS clusters in anexternal database or an embedded database. Enterprise Manager Clients connect to theData Collector to perform monitoring and administrative tasks.

This guide describes how to install and configure required Enterprise Managercomponents. For information about installing optional Enterprise Manager components,see the Enterprise Manager Administrator’s Guide.

Choose a Data Storage MethodYou can configure the Data Collector to store data in an external database or in anembedded database on the file system of the host server.

Choose the option that is most appropriate for your environment:

External database: If you decide to use an external database, select the supporteddatabase type that best suits your needs. See Data Collector Requirements on page 3 fora list of supported database types.

Enterprise Manager uses a database administrator account to create a database usernamed compmsauser and a database named compmsadb, which uses a custom schema.

Embedded database: If you choose to use the embedded database, the Data Collectorcan only retain 30 days worth of data, and the database size cannot exceed 2 GB.

Gather Required Installation InformationBefore installing Enterprise Manager components, print this page and record the following

information.

License InformationRecord the Enterprise Manager product key below. If you do not have a product key,contact Dell Technical Support Services for assistance.

Note: The embedded database is not recommended for a productionenvironment.
