Is this for NCM (Network Configuration Manager) or SCM (Server Configuration Monitor)? Are you trying to download a network config from a switch, router or firewall, or a configuration of a server or application?

Do you have the latest version of the EMC SMI-S Provider? I believe it is 4.3.2.1. Brian

Karim, The Sun 7000 is very interesting to us, but currently there is no timetable to support it. If you have more questions, let me know and I will contact you. Brian

Profiler does not support zPools at this time. We are interested in supporting it in the future, but it has not made it to the roadmap yet. 

Check out Virtualization Manager 5.1 - it has a new VDI-friendly pricing structure, contact your service rep for more information.

Shane Storage Manager leverages the NetApp API, which has read_ops, write_ops, total_ops and other_ops. We currently only collect read, write and total, not other. Let me know if you would like to collect this additional metric and I can add it as a feature request. Brian

Please take a look at the new blog post: Customizing Recommendation Alerts in Virtualization Manager I cover some similar cases to what you are trying to do, but if you have additional questions, let me know and I can help. Brian

We are looking into to both recommendations (over and under allocation), will keep you posted. Brian

Hi We do not pull quotas for users, so there are no alarms for them. If you are doing file analysis, you can set it up to do each user share, so you will know the size of the share, as well as the type and age of the files within it. You can then build a report that says "Show me all the shares over XXX MB" and schedule it…

Some issues that might affect the agents: * Have you assigned work out to the agents, such as monitoring VMware or Arrays or File Analysis? If you have assigned a lot of work to agent on a small server, you might see this. * Do you have anti-virus doing on access scans on the agent directories? If you continue to have the…

Hi, You should see the DB shrink in about 24 hours or so. You can get further reductions by changing "Days to Retain Raw Performance Data" to a smaller number (default is 14 days). You could also do a manual vacuum on the DB as well (link to Postgres instructions below). Note if you decide to do a FULL vacuum, then you…

I am looking into this, stay tuned.

Byrona is exactly right. Virtualization Manager collects more data, analyzes it from a virtual point of view (alerts, trends, reports) and gives you actionable info for your virtual environment. I am happy to chat with you directly about Virtualization Manager if you have time - just contact me directly. You can also…

In general, performance statistics are provided by the data source (smi-s, api, snmp, etc.) and the only calculations we would perform are rates and hourly/daily/weekly/monthly rollup. Can you be more specific on what you are looking at (a screenshot would help as well). Brian

Hello There is no way to trigger a report based on an event, customers generally run daily or weekly reports to summarize success and failures in the environment. You can customize the scheduled reports to show you what you want - for example, only failed backups. Let me know if this helps or if you need additional advice.…

Carlos If by "drive label" you mean the description you give the drive, then no, we don't currently collect that data. However, if you are talking about mount points, then we should see those in reports. Brian

In general, you need to wait at least 7 days for forecasting to work. If it has been more than 7 days, then contact support for help.

Hi. "Who made the change" is one of the features we are working on for a future release - see What We're Working on for SCM (Updated December 5, 2018)​

That's some out of date information. The original DPA instance in the marketplace was bundled with SQL Server for the DPA repository (where DPA stores its data), the new DPA instance does not - you have to create a MySQL RDS instance and then connect DPA to it to store data. Once you have the repo configured, you can start…
