Using Storage Manager 2016 R3 to monitor performance of PS groups

[Kihen]

Hello!

I have recently purchased a new Compellent Storage array that I am monitoring through Storage Manager 2016 R3.

I am able to connect my old PS groups to Storage Manager, but cant seem to find any IO Usage or Charting data. 

Is this even possible or do I still have to use SANHQ for that?

Best Regards

Kim

Hello Kim,

 Do you have the Data Collector installed? 

That would give you SANHQ like info.

Hi Don!

Thanks for the reply!

I have the Data Collector installed, but if its correctly configured is another matter.

I have searched, but I cant seem to find any good info on how to install/integrate the PS groups with Storage Manager

Best regards

Hello Kim,

 Here's the online admin guide for DSM.

http://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/04/storage-sc2020/dsm-2016-ag/notes-cautions-and-warnings?...

Under Storage Management there's a section for PS groups

http://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/04/storage-sc2020/dsm-2016-ag/ps-series-storage-array-admi...

There's also a section there for monitoring PS groups.

 Feel free to open a support case as well and they will be happy to help you make sure everything is set up correctly.

 Regards,

Don

Hi Don!

Same documents that I have found. Still nothing on how to get IO performance data to show from the PS groups. 

I will open a support case and just to make sure everything is setup correctly.

Thanks for the help!
