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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption 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

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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption 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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption 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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Enabling volumes monitoring

Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumescapacity and performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volumes tomonitor the system resource consumption may be significantly impacted

To enable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected

3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Enabling Volumes Monitoring

4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No

5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree

Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption 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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption 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

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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Enabling volumes monitoring

Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumescapacity and performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volumes tomonitor the system resource consumption may be significantly impacted

To enable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected

3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Enabling Volumes Monitoring

4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No

5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree

Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption 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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption 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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption 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

Customizing Volumes MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption 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

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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption 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

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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Enabling volumes monitoring

Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumescapacity and performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volumes tomonitor the system resource consumption may be significantly impacted

To enable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected

3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Enabling Volumes Monitoring

4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No

5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree

Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Enabling volumes monitoring

Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumescapacity and performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volumes tomonitor the system resource consumption may be significantly impacted

To enable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected

3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Enabling Volumes Monitoring

4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No

5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree

Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Enabling volumes monitoring

Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumescapacity and performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volumes tomonitor the system resource consumption may be significantly impacted

To enable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected

3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Enabling Volumes Monitoring

4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No

5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree

Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Enabling volumes monitoring

Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumescapacity and performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volumes tomonitor the system resource consumption may be significantly impacted

To enable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected

3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Enabling Volumes Monitoring

4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No

5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree

Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Enabling volumes monitoring

Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumescapacity and performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volumes tomonitor the system resource consumption may be significantly impacted

To enable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected

3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Enabling Volumes Monitoring

4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No

5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree

Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

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

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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

5 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

Private Entity Catalog if only this ETL will extract data from the specified resources

6 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

Customizing Volumes MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Customizing Volumes MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

6 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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Customizing Volumes MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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

5 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

Private Entity Catalog if only this ETL will extract data from the specified resources

6 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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

5 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

Private Entity Catalog if only this ETL will extract data from the specified resources

6 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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

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

5 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

Private Entity Catalog if only this ETL will extract data from the specified resources

6 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

Customizing Volumes MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Dataset Metrics

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Enabling volumes monitoring

Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumescapacity and performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volumes tomonitor the system resource consumption may be significantly impacted

To enable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected

3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Enabling Volumes Monitoring

4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No

5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree

Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

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 MonitoringDiscovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actionsthat can create extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumptionadministrators can disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation ofvolume entities into the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment

Disabling volumes monitoring

Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collectedWhile the system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics areno longer displayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected thecalculation of other sources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entitiesmanagement section for detailed information)

To disable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes

4 Click Save

The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected and

therefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabledVolume

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Fine-tuning entities management

ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administratorscan combine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload thattheir system can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the serverperformance

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor

No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-related metricswithout loading this information in the console The collected data will howeverbe used to calculate metrics for other sources when required This will reduce theresource consumption of your system

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

Enabling volumes monitoring

Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumescapacity and performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volumes tomonitor the system resource consumption may be significantly impacted

To enable the monitoring of volumes

1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected

3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Enabling Volumes Monitoring

4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No

5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree

Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

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

Volumes Monitoring Import Entities Result

Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered

Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console

Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring prevents thediscovery of any volumes and consequently does not allow the ETL to collect saveor process their data Note that the calculation of metrics for other sources maybe impacted (see reference guide)

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

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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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

Collecting Logs for a Specific ETLSince version 6000 of EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization the SentrySoftwares connectors logs are available in the BMC TrueSight CO console and can be easilycollected by clicking the Show Log button available in the Extractor Service page The procedureto retrieve these logs is as follows

1 Access the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Console

2 Make sure that the log level is set 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 Go to the Storage - EMC SMI-S Agent Extractor Service page

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

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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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 ltConnection_Tool_Namejargt 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
