OpManager's storage monitoring capabilities can help you optimize the performance of your Hitachi storage arrays (RAIDs), NAS systems, and storage disks. OpManager uses storage APIs and network protocols like SNMP to monitor the uptime, health, and key performance indicators (KPIs) of your Hitachi storage devices. With colour-coded alarms and multi-channel notifications, you'll be alerted of storage issues instantly.
Track metrics like: Configured capacity, capacity utilization, free capacity, and total capacity to monitor storage array capacity.
Monitor storage operations like IOPS (Input/output operations), reads and writes. You can monitor IOPS at the storage array (RAID) level, port level, or the volume level.
Track the traffic transferred at the storage array (RAID) level, port level, and the volume level to detect potential issues and abnormalities.
Monitor storagepools, volumes, and LUNs. Track the capacity of each storagepool and volume and optimize resource allocation for your storage arrays.
Keep tabs on the SSD, HDD, and NVMe disks used in your RAID arrays with insights into the status and storage capacity of each disk.
Monitor RAID controllers, ports, fans, sensors, power supply, and temperature to ensure that you're not caught off-guard by hardware issues.
OpManager features pre-built templates for Hitachi’s most popular storage solutions, allowing you to initiate monitoring for your Hitachi devices quickly and with minimal manual setup. Let's take a look at some of the popular Hitachi devices supported by OpManager:
OpManager automates the process of classifying the devices in your network with 11,000+ device templates. When you discover a Hitachi device with OpManager, it identifies the type of device, the vendor, and the model, and classifies it within its well-defined monitoring inventory.
In addition to this, OpManager also curates relevant performance and storage metrics for this devices and lists them so that you can start monitoring them with a few clicks.
OpManager uses colour-coded graphs and multi-level alarm thresholds to monitor key performance indicators for your Hitachi devices. These thresholds can be set manually or be calculated and updated automatically with OpManager's ML-powered adaptive thresholds.
When thresholds are violated, you get instant alarms specifying the source and nature of the issue.
OpManager simplifies the management of Hitachi's storage systems and their complex dependencies with its powerful mapping features. To streamline troubleshooting, you can also leverage the root cause analysis feature to overlay monitored graphs, making it easy to correlate metrics and pinpoint issues within your Hitachi ecosystem.
OpManager’s Workflows allow you to create automated responses through a code-free, drag-and-drop interface featuring more than 70 sequential actions. These workflows are ideal for complex troubleshooting and remediation; for example, if a Hitachi device triggers a "low storage capacity" alarm, a workflow can automatically launch a script to remediate the storage issue without manual intervention.
To ensure you can analyze storage performance across your IT infrastructure at all times, OpManager provides 18 dedicated storage reports and a preconfigured storage overview dashboard. Beyond these standard features, you have the flexibility to customize your own reports and dashboards using any available metrics, graphs, and widgets.
OpManager’s integrated ML engine continuously collects performance data to calculate and update alarm thresholds on an hourly basis for all monitored metrics. This significantly reduces the manual effort required to manage thresholds, while simultaneously improving monitoring precision and minimizing false positives.
Leveraging advanced ML algorithms, OpManager forecasts future storage performance trends to help you stay ahead of potential issues. By tracking key metrics such as CPU, memory, and throughput, you can proactively identify bottlenecks, prepare for impending resource crunches, and maintain optimal storage performance.
OpManager utilizes dedicated forecast reports to pinpoint devices experiencing high resource utilization. By analyzing metrics like CPU, memory, and disk space, these reports calculate the exact number of days remaining until resource usage reaches critical thresholds of 80%, 90%, and 100%.
Proactively manage Hitachi storage capacity by utilizing OpManager’s forecast alarms. These alerts are triggered when predictive analysis indicates that storage capacity is expected to reach a critical utilization limit within a defined timeframe, allowing you to intervene before performance is impacted.
