Acquiring Performance Data for Hitachi SMS, Hitachi AMS/WMS,
Thunder 9500 or Thunder 9200
This section describes the settings required to acquire performance
information of the Hitachi SMS, Hitachi AMS/WMS, Thunder 9500, or Thunder
9200 storage subsystems.
Preparations in storage subsystems
Before you use the feature for acquiring performance information, you need to
use the Physical View of Device Manager Web Client, Storage Navigator
Modular, or Storage Navigator Modular 2 to specify settings for acquiring
performance statistics for each relevant storage subsystem. For details, see
the manuals for each storage subsystem.
Setting up a User to Acquire Performance Information
When performance information is acquired from a storage subsystem, that
storage subsystem might be locked depending on whether the Password
Protection function or the Account Authentication function is enabled for it. In
this case, you might be unable to acquire performance information from any
storage subsystem that Device Manager, Storage Navigator Modular, or
Storage Navigator Modular 2 is accessing.
• If the Password Protection function is enabled: The storage
subsystem is always locked when you acquire performance information
from it.
• If both the Password Protection function and the Account
Authentication function are disabled: The storage subsystem is not
locked when you acquire performance information from it.
• If the Password Protection function is disabled and the Account
Authentication function is enabled: You can acquire performance
information without locking the storage subsystem by creating a user
account dedicated to acquiring performance information.
To set up this account on storage subsystems and the Device Manager server:
a. Register a user account that has only the View permission for each
storage subsystem from which performance information is to be
acquired.
To acquire performance information from multiple storage subsystems,
the user account registered for each of those storage subsystems must
have the same user ID and password.
b. Execute the
hdvmmodpolluser command to register this user in Device
Manager.
For details about the
hdvmmodpolluser command, see hdvmmodpolluser
Command Format.
