This is not specific to Netcool. Wherever there is a requirement to forwarding SNMP traps to a remote trap destination it will not work until we have MIBs with OIDs specific to SRM.

Hi Balki, as we have logical & physical mapping of LUNs for Windows hosts, the same thing is not available for Linux / Unix hosts. In that case, how can we understand from Solarwinds console the volume showing for a Linux / AIX hosts which are the external drives? Please note from a storage admin perspective we dont have…

This is good news! Awaiting for the release. Thanks!

We dont have access in server that's why mentioned from storage admin perspective we are looking for that information from Solarwinds console.In STM, for a Linux host under Asset > Disk Assets, it shows Disk ID like "sda, sdb...." and Disk Model field is blank, whereas for AIX it atlease show Array serial number under Disk…

Thanks got it! As suggested, please add this as feature request.

Thanks Balki. Successfully upgraded to v 5.7.0

Hi Guys, looking for any other options as i believe STM server setup in Windows Failover Cluster is not supported. Can we create a dumb / standby server prepared with STM and periodically backup DB into this server. When the active STM server is down for any hardware or software fault we can quickly copy the database in…

Thanks for the clarification.

Sorry, i understood your problem now. I confused LUN % as a performance metrics but i understand you're talking about LUN space usage percentage. The threshold rules doesn't have LUN space utilization category. Only Aggregate, Qtree, File System usage. It is advisable to raise a SR with support team on this.

SRM (Profiler) is the STM module, so the procedure mentioned in for STM. The only thing is i've mentioned EMC specific values as I couldn't find LUN % for NetApp. But you have mentioned that you can see that "I can see the data on the SAN->LUN Info page....". You can either let me know which exact performance metrics you…

Thanks, as STM license is node based, will it allow to license STM in a two node Windows cluster environment? I see the license as "1 License for XXXX disk" like this,

Thanks, I voted for it. Would like to see this in SolarWinds soon

Thanks Brian and Lubomir for your concern and consideration. Will await and look forward for a positive response on this.

Hi Balki, STM agents poll for data like storage, assets and performance in specific interval. Now if there is any hardware issue in the storage hardware and if this hardware comes under storage or asset category, it will report this failure in may be one hour or 24 hour as per polling frequency set. As a monitoring tool,…

Hi Lubomir, Let me rephrase my question. I've configured SRM threshold alerting like "Array Operational Status" / "LUN Response time" / "Disk Operational Status" / "Pool Capacity Threshold exceed" etc. In trigger action for each alert, i've configured "Email alert" and "SNMP trap". For SNMP trap, i've have provided IP of…

Thanks Dalelsw. Just for clarification, for Linux hosts, though Logical / Physical mapping is not there but it should show the volume / mountpoints in that host which is provided from external storage device. It is very diffucult for a storage administrator to identify which volume / mountpoint is actually allocated from…

Do we have Admin Guide for v 5.7.0? Looking for an upgrade from v5.6.2 so seeking upgrade experience from people who has already done this. Beside that, "Gen3 licensing" has been introduced, wanted to know if there is any action point from end user point while upgrade. Thats why looking for admin guide.

Hi, Hope you're talking about SRM (Profiler) module. You can do that from Setting > Threshold Rules > Add New Rule. In the new rule, select the following: Section: Storage Array Category: EMC-VNX/Clariion specific LUN Performance Choose Instance: Any instance Condition: % Utilization and put the threshold value with…

EMC Isilon is supported in STM back v5.3 i think. Still it doesn't support block level iSCSI feature for Isilon. Same iSCSI feature is supported for Dell Equallogic in STM. What are the plans for Isilon block storage monitorning?
