About releasing the Agent Manager lockbox

An Agent Manager lockbox needs to be released the first time an agent is deployed to the Agent Manager host. This releases the lockbox to the client Agent Manager Host, making all the credentials in the lockbox available to the agents on that host. You can release the lockbox from the Storage Device Setup wizard, the Edit Agent Properties dialog box, or from the Credentials dashboard.

Resolving Connection Attempt Errors

If the agent’s attempt to connect and validate fails, the error message usually contains a suggested resolution. For example, you may need to fix credentials or release the lockbox.

If the connection is refused because the entered IP address is incorrect, you need to cancel the wizard, delete the agent, and restart the wizard using the correct IP address. If the port is wrong, you can click the value beside the Port field to correct the value.

If the problem cannot be resolved at this time, close the Storage Device Setup dialog. The configuration that has been done up to the point where the error occurred is saved. After resolving the problem, edit the agent configuration and validate the settings. For more information, see Editing Configured Agents.

Configuring the Hitachi Tuning Manager

To configure the Hitachi Tuning Manager:
1
On the second page of the Credential Assignment Wizard (available only for Hitachi Data Systems AMS, USP, and VSP devices), read the information provided.
2
If you want to use the Hitachi Tuning Manager for collecting additional metrics, check the Use HDS Tuning Manager checkbox.
3
If the Tuning Manager is not installed in the default path, type the installation Path.
4
Type the IP Address of the system on which HDS Tuning is installed. If left blank, then the IP address of the array or array manager is assumed.
5
Click Finish to complete the operation and return to the Storage Device Setup dialog.

Configuring Generic SMI-S Array Agent to Monitor Storage Devices

During this procedure, you configure the agent to use SMI-S to collect from the Array Management Host that monitors the arrays.

To configure an agent to monitor the storage device:
1
On the navigation panel, under Homes, click Storage Environment.
2
Click the Administration tab.
3
Click Configure SMIS Agent for Storage Device Monitoring.
The Storage Device Setup dialog opens.
4
In the Add SMIS Storage Agent section, select an agent manager host from the Agent Manager drop-down list.
5
In the Add SMIS Storage Agent section, configure the agent settings:
a
In the IP Address field, type the IP address of the server hosting the agent manager.
b
If the Agent uses a non-default (5988 or 5989) port, type the port number in the Port field. Ensure that this port is open and that traffic is permitted between the device and the Agent Manager host.
c
Check the HTTPs check-box if the Agent uses SSL connection.
d
Specify a name for the agent in the Name field (optional).
e
Click Add.
6
Create or select a credential that contains the account information needed to access the storage device. For more information, see Assigning Credentials.
7
Click OK to exit the Storage Device Setup dialog.
