Monitoring and Management of RAIDs in OpStor

Heterogeneous management tool for storage area networks

ManageEngine^® OpStor uses SNMP / CLI / SMI-S/ vendor-specific APIs to discover the RAIDs in your network. Complete set of asset, capacity, performance, and configuration information of the RAID and its components are discovered and represented in the OpStor client.

Opstor provides out-of box reports spanning inventory, performance, and availability as given below

Asset Management
Up-to-date device summary Administrators can key in details such as device location, vendor details, and technical support info. Comprehensive physical and logical asset details in RAIDs Device level problem report filing and maintenance

Fault Management

OpStor periodically polls the devices to check the health, availabiity, and utilization of storage RAIDs. Early indications are provided on hardware/software problems and alarms are generated on drive failures, sensor faults such as Fan Failure, Battery Failure, Power supply failure. SNMP traps from the arrays are also captured and appropriate alarm is generated.

Captures Storage Array & Component Status Change Notifications
Management functions such as assign owner, annotate, clear, and delete
Reports alarms to administrators through email or SMS messages based on customizable rules
Escalates unattended alarms to higher ups based on pre-defined rules

Availability Trends

Availability reports on RAID controllers and its ports show the availability trends, downtime history, MTTR, MTBF, etc

You can generate the reports for various time periods such as today, yesterday, last N days, last week, this month, last month, and between two selected days

Performance Reports

Performance statistics are computed at periodic intervals and reports generated to provide trend analysis for the storage array components like

Storage Array Capacity
Storage Array
Controller / Storage Processor
Virtual Disks
Raid Groups
Disk Groups
Disk Drives
Controller Port Statistics

The parameters collected include the following ,

Traffic - Read / Write / Total
Utilization - Read / Write / Total
Bandwidth - Read / Write / Total
Throughput - Read / Write / Total
Latency - Read / Write
Queue Depth
Storage array capacity - Total / Configured / Used / Free

You can visually see the utilization of components like LUN volumes and take preventive measures as they reach their peak capacities

Visualization
Topological map shows arrays and their connections to switches and host servers. Link details table shows link name, source, and destination. Color-coded icons depict switch and interconnection status. Drill-down views - Array Sub-map views

The number and types of storage devices keep increasing as the organization and its number of workforce increases. It is said that in a year the storage administrator will roughly add 52% more storage and refresh 38% of the current infrastructure (source: SNIA S10-200). Before you know it, the organization will have myriad vendor devices and keeping everything centralized, organized and running in perfect order will prove to be a gargantuan task.

OpStor is a storage management tool that supports management of multi-vendor SAN Switches, RAID, Tape Libraries, Host Servers and HBAs. Apart from the instantaneous reports on performance and availability of each device on the storage network, important statistics such as Mean Time Between Failures over a monthly/weekly/daily time period keep the Storage Manager aware of his team’s effectiveness in achieving minimum downtime.

The Events and Alarm notifications in OpStor allow for easy strategizing & assigning of Storage faults. Each alarm is acknowledged by an administrator who can then see to the problem, add notes for future reference and then change severity of the alarm once corrective action is taken. Unattended alarms for each device type can be escalated to email addresses. Daily and weekly critical alarm reports are scheduled and emailed for offline record and analysis. Problem tickets for each device can also be provided through the OpStor Web Interface so as to have appropriate action be taken to resolve faults.

ManageEngine OpStor provides a simple management solution for the complex, heterogeneous world of Storage Networks. Call toll-free at 1-888-720-9500 for more information or click here to request a technician-assisted demo of OpStor.
