7 MANUAL INSTALLATION Manual installation is based on the sourceforge storageim_betax_x.zip download. This download does not come with MySQL or a java basded web server such as Apache Tomcat. This distribution is used for Unix and Windows installations where Tomcat and or MySQL may already be installed or a manual configuration is necessary. In order to install storageim, you will need to download and use the following 1. Apache Web Server or JBOSS 2. MySQL 5.0 or greater (Community or Enterprise) 3. StorageIM release 4. Java 1.5 or greater MANUAL INSTALLATION STEPS MySQL Installation and Configuration 1. Download and install MySQL 5.0 or greater from a. Using the MySQL command line, create a new MySQL username=storageim and password=storageim i. Grant all on storageim.* to storageim@localhost identified by storageim ; 6

8 b. Using the mysql command line client utility, perform the following i. Mysql> source "DOWNLOAD_PATH\storageim.sql" Apache Tomcat 6.x Installation and Configuration 1. Download and install Apache Tomcat from a. Copy the storageim.war in the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory b. Start Apache Tomcat UPGRADING Currently, there is no upgrade installer for StorageIM. If you need information on upgrading from a previous version, send us an , info@storageim.com. 7

9 ADMINISTRATION In order for storageim to discover any hardware devices, SMI-S based providers must be installed prior to storageim discovery. Check your vendor website for information regarding their SMI-S provider implementation or visit SNIA s provider pages, CONFIGURING AN SMI-S AGENT Based on your hardware vendors provider documentation, you must provide authentication values in order to establish a connection. Open a browser and go to storageim, Click the Administration tab: Currently you should see no CIMOM s in the list. Click System Config. Add SMI-S Agent Name: Arbitrary Name used to define the CIMOM/provider Protocol: protocol configured on the CIMOM IPAddress: CIMOM/Provider IP Address 8

10 Namespace: Location Where provider stores collected Hardware data Username/Password: Credentials Used to authenticate against provider Discovery Interval: The interval to discover a CIMOM/Provider Data Retention: How long will storageim save the data collected Once a CIMOM credentials are created, storageim will add the CIMOM to discovery. Created CIMOM MONITORING DATA Based on the discovery interval that was set during the addition of a SMI-S Agent, StorageIM will attempt a discovery. Currently, StorageIM supports SMI-S 1.1 for array, switch, HBA, VMWare ESX, and partial iscsi based devices. TESTING AN SMI-S AGENT StorageIM allows you to test SMI-S agents prior to adding them to the StorageIM configuration 9

11 STORAGEIM ADMINISTRATION StorageIM uses user authentication to login to the user interface. Currently there are two authentication roles, basic and administrator. A basic user is allowed view privileges only. They have no Administrator or Active Management Privileges. If a user is a non-administrator, the administration and Active Management tabs will not be visible. 10

12 VIEWS TAB The views tab represents.. Dashboard General Capacity Chart Denotes aggregates of primordial, total concrete and allocated concrete. Current: Current unassigned, assigned and total managed space o o o "Assigned Space" = TMS-RMS sum of all primordial parent pools "Unassigned/Remaining Managed Space" = RMS sum of all primordials "Total Managed Space" = TMS sum of all primordials Historical: Time based unassigned, assigned, and allocated storage Allocated Capacity Chart 11

16 DATABASE storageim uses MySQL as its relational database for storage of current and historic data. SLP Service Location Protocol provides the ability to advertise a vendors service if their provider is configured to do so. StorageIM incorporated SLP discovery in order to discover a provider s existence before configuring. This allows a user to make sure that a provider is installed and configured correctly. SLP discovery in StorageIM allows for both unicast and multicast discovery. Unicast discovery is a manual process in which you must provide an IP Address or host name that has a SLP server agent or directory agent installed. The multicast SLP discovery automatically discovers SLP agents. You can also use the multicast Rediscover button to push a new multicast rediscovery. 15

17 The SLP Add button is used to copy over the SLP discovered attributes in a specific row for configuring an SMI-S Agent. The SLP Add button will only carry over the protocol, IPAddress, port, and chosen namespace. You will still have to provide a unique name, username, password, discovery interval and data retention variables during configuration. 16
