The Storage Insight Add-on lets you view the detailed storage information on an enclosure to the level of adapters and disks. Also, you can perform storage management operations on the level of adapters and disks.

10 10 Performing the deep discovery of enclosures About the Veritas Operations Manager Storage Insight Add-on for Deep Array Discovery and Mapping This version of the Storage Insight Add-on is supported only on Veritas Operations Manager versions 4.0, and later. As part of its deep array discovery capabilities, the Storage Insight Add-on lets you manage the following enclosures: HITACHI IBM XIV EMC Symmetrix EMC CLARiiON NetApp Storage Insight Add-on uses the HiCommand server to gather the information. Storage Insight Add-on uses the XCLI utility that communicates to the IBM XIV systems using the TCP/IP protocol to gather the information. Storage Insight Add-on uses the SymCLI utilities to gather the information. Storage Insight Add-on uses the NavisecCLI utility to gather the information. Storage Insight Add-on uses the NetApp Data ONTAP SDK interface utility to gather the information. You must configure deep array discovery on the following enclosures to get the deeper information: HITACHI IBM XIV EMC Symmetrix EMC CLARiiON NetApp After you configure deep discovery for these enclosures, the discovery happens once every six hours and the Veritas Operations Manager database is updated accordingly. Note: To perform deep array discovery of enclosures, you require the access to storage views and operations. After the Storage Insight Add-on performs the deep discovery of enclosures, you can view the following types additional information on the details page of each enclosure: Logical devices

11 Performing the deep discovery of enclosures Configuring deep discovery for HITACHI storage enclosures 11 Physical devices Thin pools Host associations Replications Apart from providing deeper insight on your enclosures, the Storage Insight Add-on also lets you define the tiers for the LUNs in the datacenter. The tiering of LUNs supports the Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM), which manages the data by putting them into different types of storage media according to various parameters. Also, the Storage Insight Add-on lets you perform the maintenance of the Dynamic Multipathing (DMP) paths in the level of array ports and adapters.

Configuring deep discovery for HITACHI storage enclosures The Veritas Operations Manager Storage Insight Add-on for Deep Array Discovery and Mapping provides you detailed information on the storage enclosures in your datacenter. By bringing you the information to the level of adapters and disks, the Storage Insight Add-on helps you understand your storage enclosures in a much deeper level. As part of its deep array discovery capabilities, the Storage Insight Add-on provides you options to understand the HITACHI enclosures in your datacenter in a better way. The Storage Insight Add-on makes use of the HiCommand server that is connected to a host, which you can designate as the control host to get the information from HITACHI enclosures. This host need not be a part of the Management Server. The HITACHI Agentlet that resides on the Management Server pushes the application programming interface (API) to the control host to get the information from the HiCommand server using XML. The control host executes the commands to collect the information on the enclosures. This

12 12 Performing the deep discovery of enclosures Configuring deep discovery for HITACHI storage enclosures information, which is brought to the Management Server, is parsed and put in the Veritas Operations Manager database.

As part of its deep array discovery capabilities, the Storage Insight Add-on provides you options to understand the NetApp enclosures in your datacenter in a better way. The NetApp storage objects work on the Data ONTAP operating system,

25 Performing the deep discovery of enclosures Configuring deep discovery for NetApp storage enclosures 25 which provides various interfaces to administer the NetApp storage objects. Veritas Operations Manager communicates to the enclosures using the ONTAP SDK interface to get the NetApp enclosure information. This communication occurs through the HTTP protocol (using the port number 80) or through the HTTPS protocol (using the port number 443). It is recommended that you must configure all the nodes for deep discovery in a NetApp cluster. After you configure deep discovery, you can view the following information on the details page of the NetApp enclosure: Details of the enclosure such as the model, serial number, version of the Data ONTAP installed on the enclosure, the physical capacity of the enclosure, number of spare disks and the name of the partner node The physical disks on the enclosure Aggregates Array volumes LUNs Array ports Replications Note: To create both the flexible and the traditional volumes on the aggregates, you must use Data ONTAP version 7.0 or later. Traditional volumes can exist on the enclosures that have Data ONTAP 6.0 or later. Storage Insight Add-on supports the NetApp enclosures that have Data ONTAP or later.

29 Chapter 2 Managing tiers for the LUNs This chapter includes the following topics: Creating tier definitions for LUNs Modifying the tier definitions for LUNs Deleting the tier definitions for LUNs Refreshing the tier information Modifying the tier levels Creating tier definitions for LUNs Apart from providing deeper insight on your enclosures, the Veritas Operations Manager Storage Insight Add-on for Deep Array Discovery and Mapping also lets you define the tiers for the LUNs in your datacenter. The tiering of LUNs supports the Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) which manages the data by putting them into different types of storage media according to various parameters. Apart from moving data across different storage devices, Veritas Operations Manager uses LUN tiering for provisioning the storage. Veritas Operations Manager lets you define the tiers for the LUNs based one or more of the following parameters: Enclosures Vendor and product model RAID level of a LUN Underlying media of the disk from where the LUN has been created Thin type of the LUN The replication status of the LUN

30 30 Managing tiers for the LUNs Creating tier definitions for LUNs When you define tiers for the LUNs based on these parameters, Veritas Operations Manager stores these definitions as rules in the Management Server. Veritas Operations Manager changes the tier definitions automatically when these parameters change. In certain circumstances, multiple tier definitions can be applicable to a LUN. In such cases, Veritas Operations Manager Storage Insight Add-on for Deep Array Discovery and Mapping looks for the highest order of the tier and assigns it to the LUN. To define the tiers for a LUN, you must have the domain administrator privilege.
