Is there any movement on this. We are taking delivery of our first Compellent array. As we slowly continue to migrate away from EMC, it would be nice to know if Solarwinds can be our SAN monitoring solution or if we need to look elsewhere - when the time comes to pull the trigger. Thanks!
I am currently evaluating the Storage Profiler application and would very much like to be a beat/RC tester for the Compellent enabled version. We currently have 19 arrays and we are looking for an application that we can use to manage all of our Compellents, Clariions and DMXs at the same time.
We are a Compellent shop and having pretty major performance issues with our VMs which I believe I have tracked down to the Data Progression feature not doing its job. I would like to be a beta tester. We already have Virtualization Manager and I hope to beta test 5.0 of that as well with the addition of Hyper-V support.
We are running all of our VMs (about 270) on Compellent without issues. We did have an issue with data progression when we first installed the systems about 3 years ago, but it was causing data to stay on Tier 1 and not move down to tier 3. So capacity was the issue, not performance. A non service-affecting (redundant controllers) dot code upgrade fixed the problem. Generally VMs perform better as they can get more IOPS than they ever could with the few spindles we put in rack mount servers.
Sorry this took so long. We did finally figure out the problem. For some reason the company that implemented this for us did not set up Replay on our LUNs. This is crucial for data progression to work. Once we did this data began to move where it needed to be. We also added some more disks to our Tier1 and changed to RAID 5-9 for Tier 3. Things are working much better now.
