Obtaining Disk Drive Statistics from Engenio Storage Systems
IMPORTANT: Depending on your license, the ability to obtain disk drives statistics from Engenio
storage systems may not be available. See the “List of Features” to determine if you have access to
the additional statistics. The “List of Features” is accessible from the Documentation Center (Help >
Documentation Center in Storage Essentials).
To obtain information about disk drive statistics from Engenio storage systems, you must install a
CIM Extension on a host that can access the Engenio storage system. Ensure the proxy host has at
least one LUN rendered by each controller of the array. Then, you must make the management
server aware of that host, as described in the following steps:
1. Install the CIM Extension on a host that has access to the Engenio storage system.
2. Discover that host.
3. Select Optimize > Storage Essentials > Performance Data Collection.
4. Verify the Data Collection tab is displayed.
5. Click the Start button corresponding with the disk drive statistics for an Engenio storage system.
6. Set the date and time.
7. Type a repeat interval and then select a unit of measurement from the drop-down menu.
The repeat interval determines how often the collectors gather the data.
8. Select a proxy host by clicking the Browse button.
9. Select a proxy host from the drop-down menu and then click OK.
The management server displays in the drop-down menu only hosts that are running a CIM
Extension version 3.5 or later and have access to the corresponding Engenio storage system.
NOTE: You can always change the proxy host by returning to this page or by going to the
Properties tab for an Engenio storage system. Double-click the Engenio storage system in
System Manager. Click the Properties tab. Then, click the Browse button on the Properties
tab.
10.Saving the proxy host may take time. When you are asked if you want to continue, click OK.
11.Click OK again to set the time for starting the collector.
12.If you do not see any hosts displayed verify you have the latest CIM Extension installed and
running on a host that can access the Engenio storage system.
