Hitachi Data Systems AMS, USP, and VSP

Foglight for Storage Management collects information from Hitachi Data Systems Adaptable Modular Storage (AMS), Universal Storage (USP) or Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) using the SMI-S interface of the HiCommand Device Manager component of the Hitachi Command Suite software or the embedded SMI-S provider of VSP arrays.

The metrics that can be collected from the standard HiCommand Device Manager are limited. Foglight for Storage Management provides an option to interface with the Hitachi Tuning Manager to collect the following additional metrics.

Requirements for Hitachi Data Systems AMS, USP, VSP

Your environment must meet the following requirements:

NOTE: A HiCommand account must explicitly belong to the built-in Storage Administrator (View Only) or built-in ViewGroup User Group, and must be granted with the VIEW permission.

 

NOTE:  

Configuring Agents to Monitor Hitachi Data Systems AMS

During this procedure, you configure an agent to monitor the server hosting the Hitachi Command Suite. You are prompted to select the arrays to configure. You can also configure the agent to use the Tuning Manager. For details, see Configuring Agents to Monitor Storage Devices.

Configuring Agents to Monitor Hitachi Data Systems USP and VSP Arrays

Monitoring VSP arrays requires a slightly different procedure than monitoring AMS arrays. When monitoring AMS arrays, the SMI-S provider that is part of the Hitachi HiCommand server is used. This is the same server that hosts the Hitachi Tuning Manager. When monitoring USP or VSP arrays however, SMI-S data must be collected from the SMI-S provider embedded in the array itself. The Tuning Manager on the HiCommand server is still used for performance data collection. For details, see Configuring Agents to Monitor Storage Devices.
