ProSphere - VNX - performance data collection

Hi,

Prosphere will not discover VNX statistics unless the end-to-end topology is discovered and PDC turned on from a host in the path.

1. Ensure statistics logging is enabled.

• To determine the status of statistics collections on the CLARiiON arrays, run the following NaviCLI commands:
  navicli -h setstats
  If the output of these commands indicates that Statistics logging is DISABLED, run the following command to enable:

         navicli -h setstats -on

2. Ensure the VNX are successfully Discovered within SMI-S agent by logging into the testsmiprovider and runing the dv command

3. Within ProSphere at least one switch, one host and along with the array must be must be successfully discovered and in the performance path for performance data to be collected.

4. Confirm the VNX Arrays are fully discovered in ProSphere within Discovery > Objects List > Arrays in the UI the status is successfull for "Discovery Status"

5. Confirm that at least one switch and host connected to the VNX which you require statistics are successfully discovered in ProSphere

6. Path Performance Collection (PDC) needs to be enabled on a host connected to the Clariion other wise ProSphere will not collect statistics for any objects. Default collection is every 15 mins.

7. If the "Discovery Status" is Partial or Failed click on the status and within the UI displayed it will provide more information to why its not successfull. It needs to be successfull for data to collect

8. If the "Discovery Status" is successfull goto the Discovery > Objects Lists > hosts> Select a host connected to the Clariion where the Path Performance Collection is enabled in the UI. Select Status to open the Path Performance Collection Results UI. In this view does it show as successfully collecting Performance data statistics for the Clariion. If it shows as failed or pending select the array and a Detailed Message to the reasons its not collecting will appear in the UI

If all the above steps are already done statistics should appear in the graphs soon after the PDC completes. if you still do not see statistics in ProSphere for a Clariion open an SR or chat with support.

Also please note within the Dashboard > Performance view you will not see data for arrays until 3 days of consistent data is collected.

Regards
