IBM Storwize V7000

NB: INCOMPLETE

Requirements

1. Array should support SSH interface
2. Following commands should be available:
   1. svcinfo lsnode
   2. svcinfo lsnodevpd
   3. svcinfo lsiostatsdumps
   4. svctask cpdumps

Configuration

1. On monitoring server, generate new SSH key using ssh-keygen

ssh-keygen -b 2048 -f monitoring.key

This will produce two files, monitoring.key (private key) and monitoring.key.pub (public key)

2. Create new user on array:

Authentication Mode	Local
User Group	Administrator
Password	(leave empty)
SSH Public Key	Select monitoring.key.pub

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

3. Try ssh connection to array:

ssh -i monitoring.key user@array_ip

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

4. Clear old statistics from array:
4.1 Run "lsnode" to get list of nodes
4.2 Run "svctask cleardumps -prefix /dumps/iostats NODE_NAME" for each node.

Example:

"svctask cleardumps -prefix /dumps/iostats node1"

5. Start statistics collector:

svctask startstats -interval 1

where "1" is interval in minutes. 6. Wait couple of minutes and try to copy collected statistics from array:

scp -i monitoring.key -r user@array_id:/dumps/iostats/
