Foglight for Storage Management Shared 4.9

Foglight for Storage Management

Foglight for Storage Management is built on Foglight, which provides the following components:

•

Management Server — The Management Server receives information from agents, stores and processes data, and makes it available in the browser interface.

•

Agent Manager — The Agent Manager is a middleware application that hosts agents, manages agent lifecycle (such as start, stop, and restart), manages the connection to the Management Server, and provides centralized services to agents.

•

Database Repository — The database where data from all sources is collected and aggregated for display in the browser interface.

•

Browser Interface — The interface you use to view data collected from your monitored environment and to investigate issues. You also use it to configure Foglight for Storage Management and perform administrative tasks.

For more information, see “Components” in the Foglight for Storage Management Getting Started online help.

Storage Collector Agent

Storage Collector Agents collect raw data from storage devices. You need to configure a Storage Collector Agent for each storage device you want to monitor.

Network Ports Used

Foglight for Storage Management uses several standard TCP/IP ports for its collections. These ports must be opened and traffic allowed between the storage devices and the Agent Manager hosts. The following table provides network port requirements by storage device.

Table 2. Network Port Requirements
Storage Device	Ports Used	Description
Brocade	5988 (non-SSL) 5989 (SSL)	SMI-S query to the management host
Cisco	22	SSH connection
Dell Compellent	3033	API to the host running Compellent Enterprise Manager
Dell EqualLogic	161	SNMP query to the EqualLogic Group Manager
EMC CLARiiON (CLI) on Unix	22	CLI-Navisphere connection to the management host using SSH
EMC CLARiiON (CLI) Windows	135 445 all ports above 1000	CLI-Navisphere connection to the management host using WMI (RPC)
EMC CLARiiON, VNX, VMAX (SMI-S)	5988 (non-SSL) 5989 (SSL)	SMI-S query to the host running the SMI-S Provider.
EMC Isilon	22	SSH connection using CLI
Hitachi Data Systems	5988 (non-SSL) 5989 (SSL) Tuning Manager uses: 135 445 all ports above 1000	SMI-S query to the host running the Hitachi Command Suite or embedded SMI-S provider on VSP arrays. When running the Tuning Manager, the connection to the management host uses WMI (RPC).
HP EVA	5988 (non-SSL) 5989 (SSL)	SMI-S query to the host running Command View
NetApp	80 443	DataOnTap API query to each filer
3PAR	5988 (non-SSL) 5989 (SSL)	SMI-S query to an embedded SMI-S provider on the array.

Sizing Your Monitored Environment


	IMPORTANT: You should not consider a production implementation without first conducting a proper scoping and sizing exercise. To arrange for a sizing analysis, contact your Quest Software Sales representative.

The number of physical disks (among all monitored storage arrays and filers) in the monitored environment is a rough guide to the size of the Foglight for Storage Management collection environment.

Table 3. Physical disks and system requirements
Number of VMs	System Requirements
Fewer than 2000 disks	See Small Environment System Requirements
More than 2000 disks	See Large Environment System Requirements
