Requirements for EMC VMAX Arrays (SMI-S)

Your environment must meet the following requirements:

•
For supported Solutions Enabler and SMI-S provider versions for each VMAX array, see Appendix: Supported Storage Devices Table . Contact EMC Customer Service to enable SMI-S Provider on the service processor. EMC requires involving EMC Customer Service when starting and stopping Solutions Enabler services and the SMI-S Provider.
•
Foglight for Storage Management requires an SMI-S account with the Monitor role. For help setting up a monitor account, see the SMIS Provider Release Notes.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: EMC has deprecated some storage systems with the 8.0.1 release of Solutions Enabler. For more information refer to https://support.emc.com/docu55547. An EMC support account is required. As a result, customers wishing to monitor any VNX array or any CLARiiON CX, CX3, CX4, AX, AX4 series array must use a 7.6.x release of Solutions Enabler.

 

* 
NOTE:  
•
In FIPS-compliant mode, you need to import the CA certificate or the self-signed certificate to the KeyStore of FglAM to use this option. For more information, see Managing certificates .
•
Storage agent only supports monitoring through IP address. Ensure that “Subject” or “Subject Alternative Name” field of the certificate includes the IP address of your device.

Configuring Agents to Monitor EMC Storage Arrays (SMI-S)

During this procedure you configure the agent to use SMI-S to collect from the Array Management Host that monitors the arrays. For details, see Configuring Agents to Monitor Storage Devices.

Configuring the SMI-S Provider for EMC CLARiiON or VNX

The SMI-S Provider has a programmatic interface that enables management applications that are integrated with the provider with the ability to discover CLARiiON or VNX storage arrays out of band. This discovery method does not require that a CLARiiON or VNX LUN be visible to the host on which the SMI-S Provider is running—only the IP connection to the storage array is required.

You must provide the following information:

•
The IP address of SPA and SPB of the CLARiiON or VNX array to be managed.
•
The username and password of the CLARiiON or VNX array that has administrator-level privileges with global scope.

EMC offers the TestSmiProvider tool for adding CLARiiON and VNX arrays to the SMI-S Provider.

•
On Windows platforms, the TestSmiProvider.exe resides in c:\program files\emc\ecim\ecom\bin.
•
On Linux platforms, TestSmiProvider resides in: /opt/emc/ECIM/ECOM/bin

For more information, see the SMI-S Provider Release Notes.

To configure SMIs collections for the EMC array:
1
Set up the SMI Provider.
The following testsmiprovider program is interactive and provides acceptable defaults. Press return on each line (change the password if needed):
C:\Program Files\EMC\ECIM\ECOM\bin>testsmiprovider
Connection Type (ssl,no_ssl,native) [no_ssl]\:
Host [localhost]:
Port [5988]:

Test the provider to be sure it is working.
If you successfully connected to the SMI-S Provider, issue the dv command to list basic information about the provider and any attached storage arrays:
(localhost:5988) ? dv
++++ Display version information ++++
CIM ObjectManager Name: EMC:10.247.73.48

Press the enter key to continue.

IMPORTANT: In the above example, the SMI-S Provider is not aware of any attached storage arrays.

Add the storage arrays to the provider.
Use the addsys command to attach a CLARiiON or VNX array to SMI-S Provider. This command is not for Symmetrix arrays. The following provides an example of attaching an VNX array to the SMI-S Provider:
(localhost:5988) ? addsys
Add System {y|n} [n]: y
ArrayType (1=Clar, 2=Symm) [1]:
One or more IP address or Hostname or Array ID
Elements for Addresses
IP address or hostname or array id 0 (blank to quit): 10.247.73.78
IP address or hostname or array id 1 (blank to quit): 10.247.73.79
IP address or hostname or array id 2 (blank to quit):
Address types corresponding to addresses specified above.
(1=URL, 2=IP/Nodename, 3=Array ID)

In the above example, the first SPA and the SPB of the VNX array is provided. The username/password combination must be of administrator level and global scope.
By issuing the following dv command, you can see the VNX array (which displays as CLARiiON array FNM00104500227) is now present in the provider:
(localhost:5988) ? dv

Verify that statistics logging is enabled for your arrays. For more information, see Verifying Statistics Logging is Enabled on EMC Arrays.

ECOM post-installation tasks
Authentication is required to query the EMC CIM Server. An initial setup is required on the EMC CIM Server to create a CIM user. This can be done using the following procedures:
a
Go to the URL https://<ipaddress>:5989/ecomconfig, log in using the username admin and the password #1Password. Or, use the password you created.
b
Click Add User and create a user with the role of Administrator. This newly created username can now be used to obtain access to the SMI-S Provider.

Verifying Statistics Logging is Enabled on EMC Arrays

Foglight for Storage Management requires that statistics logging is enabled on an EMC array. Use TestSMIProvider to verify if statistics logging is enabled for CLARiiON or VNX arrays.

To verify if statistics logging is enabled:
1
Log in to the server with the SMIs provider installed.
2
Run the TestSMIProvider.
3
When you reach the point where you can input SMI provider commands, enter:
(localhost:5988) ? ei
Class: cim_statisticsservice
4
In the output, for the desired array, search for the properties “EnabledState” and “Started”.
If the value for “EnabledState” is “3”, and the value for “Started” is “False”, then statistics logging has not been set for the array, and it will not collect.
The output will display an “instance” for each array, similar to that shown below.
Instance 0:
ObjectPath : Clar_BlockStatisticsService.CreationClassName="Clar_BlockStatisticsService",Name="EMCBlockStatisticsService",SystemCreationClassName="Clar_StorageSystem",SystemName="CLARiiON+APM001206012345
* 
IMPORTANT: Scroll to the following text.
<PROPERTY NAME="EnabledState" CLASSORIGIN="CIM_EnabledLogicalElement" PROPAGATED="true" TYPE="uint16">
<VALUE>3</VALUE>
* 
IMPORTANT: Scroll to the following text.
<PROPERTY NAME="Started" CLASSORIGIN="CIM_Service" PROPAGATED="true" TYPE="boolean">
<VALUE>FALSE</VALUE>
</PROPERTY>
