information on features and options

Chuck16 over 12 years ago

I love the product but the documentation leaves a lot to be desired. I have a numerous questions but here just a couple.

1. Under the SAN Groups there is a sub group labeled "Port Groups". I don't see any way to add anything to this. I am taking it that this would be FC ports or is this only for ISCSI?

2. Under a physical server client, I can see the disks/LUNs within the disk inventory under Assets, but when I look at physical or logical mappings under the storage tab, I don't have anything showing up. Any thoughts?

3. I was looking at agent module status to see if there was anything noticable that might cause issue 2 and I see a module named "SAN Module" which is offline. I cannot find any documentation that talks about this module. Can anyone tell me what this module is for and how I would get it on line?

I think you are using Storage Manager 5.2 version. "Resource Groups" were renamed as "Device Groups"

1. If you want to create a group for your Fibre channel ports you would click Settings > Resource Groups (Under Resource Mgt.) and select from the available options.
2. You may consider opening a ticket here- because there are many reasons this could be happening and it may depend on what types of devices you have. Do ensure that you are monitoring both ends (array & OS).
3. The SAN module offline is not an issue. The Modules feature is used for delivering updates and patches and should only be used with the assistance of SolarWinds support. They define what information is gathered by the agents and which products are installed on the STM server.
hope this helps-

In Storage Manager Settings I can't find an option "Resource Groups" and also no Resource Mgt.
