Hi there,
I've opened a support ticket, but in the meantime I feel for posting my question here, so everybody can react.
I'm currently evaluation Storage Manager, which seems to be a great and promising product.
As I'm about to migrate to a new consolidated infrastructure (blades, network and SAN Storage), I have several needs :
1/ Get figures about current infrastructure.
What I've collected so far :
| Site | Physical servers | Network devices | Storage (Tb) | ESX | PM | VM |
| A | 59 | 149 | | 10 | 49 | 135 |
| B | 86 | 52 | | 4 | 82 | 26 |
| C | 46 | 20 | | 4 | 42 | 15 |
| D | 21 | N/A | | 0 | 21 | 0 |
| E | 34 | | | 10 | 24 | 83 |
| Total | 246 | 221 | | 28 | 218 | 259 |
As the project consists of consolidating everything on a single infrastructure, I need accurate information regarding total IOPs/sec and Tb on each site, so I can purchase the right SAN solution.
2/ To be able to manage Storage and Virtualization growth
Here I'm clearly challenging vmware's solutions (vCenter Operations Manager / CapacityIQ). I don't own any license at the moment, so I feel for savings some bucks with alternate solutions, which may work with Hyper-V as well.
As stated on the website (and the topic), Solarwinds claims agentless performance monitoring for DAS, NAS and SAN.
Here comes my problem :
I can't find any information about collecting performance information without agent for my servers with DAS (over 95% of windows boxes, 5% linux boxes)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
JP
