Vmax monitoring via solarwinds

Bumping up and hijacking this question:

I have Solarwinds Storage Manager and I'd like to know if it's possible to monitor ports (up/down), available capacity and some basic performance (basic, like "cache write pending").

Anyone?

From Solutions Enabler the storentd daemon will monitor director and port status, as well as pool utilization levels (must be explicitly configured for this). You can send the events to syslog or snmp which Solarwinds should be able to accept right?

Unisphere has snmp and syslog configuration options as well, and supports performance alers on top of all the system alerts.

For Solarwinds to monitor the Vmax, I believe you need to configure the SMI-S Provider.

SMI-S does have the capability to capture/monitor most of the details required. You may need to check with Solarwinds on what capabilities the tool can pull through.

RRR,

Hopefully you realized I misspelled the storeventd daemon and was not referring to something that did not exist :-)

There is a technote on using that daemon. I have used this to send SNMP traps to monitoring systems. It is not simple to setup but works.

thanks guys!

Aran, I didn't read it that thourough, but I'm sure I would have stumbled over this when implementation D-day arrived. And I know where to find you
