User guide

Even if you use a machine, which is different from the management server,
for the host to acquire performance information, the OS for the host that
acquires performance information must be Windows, Solaris, or Linux. You
cannot use a host on which HP-UX or AIX is running to acquire
performance information. For details about the OSs (Windows, Solaris, and
Linux) supported by the Device Manager agent, see the Hitachi Device
Manager Agent Installation Guide.
We recommend that you set the central management method of the Device
Manager agent installed on the performance information-acquiring host.
For details on how to set the central management method, see the Hitachi
Device Manager Agent Installation Guide.
• Storage subsystem
This is a storage subsystem whose performance information is to be
acquired. For details on the microcode versions that can use the
performance information acquisition feature, see the section in Chapter 1
of the Hitachi Device Manager and Provisioning Manager Server Installation
and Configuration Guide, “Required Products for the Storage Subsystem.”
The performance-acquiring host (the Device Manager agent) acquires
performance information of Universal Storage Platform V/VM and Hitachi
USP by using the command device within a storage subsystem, and then
reports it to the Device Manager server.
In Thunder 9500V or Thunder 9200, the Device Manager server acquires
performance information of Hitachi SMS and Hitachi AMS/WMS directly
from a storage subsystem.
The system configuration that is required to acquire performance information
of a storage subsystem differs depending on the storage subsystem model. For
information on Universal Storage Platform V/VM or Hitachi USP, see
Acquiring
Performance Data of Universal Storage Platform V/VM or TagmaStore USP. For
information on Hitachi SMS, Hitachi AMS/WMS, Thunder 9500, or Thunder
9200, see Acquiring Performance Data of the Series: Hitachi SMS, Hitachi
AMS/WMS, Thunder 9500 or Thunder 9200.
Acquiring Performance Data of Universal Storage Platform V/VM or
TagmaStore USP
This section describes the settings required to acquire performance
information of Universal Storage Platform V/VM or Hitachi USP.
Preparations in storage subsystems
Prepare a command device for each storage subsystem from which you want
to acquire performance information, and then assign the path to the host that
acquires performance information so that the host can recognize the command
device.
