EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Release Notes v4100
Whats NewThe ETL now provides support for WQL query in WBEM client based on SBLIM method
The parameters collection can now be performed at different rates to maintain a suitable refreshrate of the parameters and scale large environments The following specific polling cycles perdevices have been implemented
o Storage Systems Controllers and Ports are collected at every run
o Storage Pools and Disks are collected once per hour
o Volumes (and Host information) parameters are collected once per day
Changes and ImprovementsCode robustness has been improved
Object discovery is performed once per day instead of once per hour to improve the monitoringperformance on large environments
The mechanism that handles the parsing of WBEM queries has been improved to reduce theconsumption of CPU and memory resources
The service activity trace in service log files (also displayed in the log screen of the ETL taskssection) has been improved The service loading is now logged in a serviceLoadinglog dedicatedfile
The discovery or the collect of metrics is automatically interrupted when the time dedicated tothese processes exceeds 3 times the configured servicersquos period
Back End Fiber Ports (FC Ports) are no longer discovered the collected information from theBack End Fiber Ports were not representative of the real data traffic of the disk array
The SQLite store was replaced by a binary files store to avoid performance issues
New computation methods for Symmetrix storage systems
o The ST_AVAILABLE_FOR_STORAGE_POOLS metric exposes the available capacity for
Storage Pools or for Traditional Volumes creation
o The ST_AVAILABLE_IN_STORAGE_POOLS metric exposes the available capacity in
Storage Pools
o The ST_CAPACITY metric of the storage systems is now the sum of the
ST_AVAILABLE_FOR_STORAGE_POOLS metric and the sum of Storage Pools andTraditional Volume capacities
The error message displayed when querying an SMI-S provider that doesnt support the EMCnamespace has been improved to be more explicit
5Release Notes v4100
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Fixed IssuesAn error occurred when populating Run History on BCO 9501 or higher
The NullPointerException does not occur anymore when discovering Disk Groups
Relations between Volumes and Storage Pools were missing in the BCO workspace
The value of the ST_SYSTEM_IO_RATE metric is now null when the total number of operationsper second performed by the system could not be computed
The ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY metric for storage pools was not properly calculatedwhen FAST policies were enabled in EMC SymmetrixVMAX

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

Introduction
4Release Notes v4100
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Release Notes v4100
Whats NewThe ETL now provides support for WQL query in WBEM client based on SBLIM method
The parameters collection can now be performed at different rates to maintain a suitable refreshrate of the parameters and scale large environments The following specific polling cycles perdevices have been implemented
o Storage Systems Controllers and Ports are collected at every run
o Storage Pools and Disks are collected once per hour
o Volumes (and Host information) parameters are collected once per day
Changes and ImprovementsCode robustness has been improved
Object discovery is performed once per day instead of once per hour to improve the monitoringperformance on large environments
The mechanism that handles the parsing of WBEM queries has been improved to reduce theconsumption of CPU and memory resources
The service activity trace in service log files (also displayed in the log screen of the ETL taskssection) has been improved The service loading is now logged in a serviceLoadinglog dedicatedfile
The discovery or the collect of metrics is automatically interrupted when the time dedicated tothese processes exceeds 3 times the configured servicersquos period
Back End Fiber Ports (FC Ports) are no longer discovered the collected information from theBack End Fiber Ports were not representative of the real data traffic of the disk array
The SQLite store was replaced by a binary files store to avoid performance issues
New computation methods for Symmetrix storage systems
o The ST_AVAILABLE_FOR_STORAGE_POOLS metric exposes the available capacity for
Storage Pools or for Traditional Volumes creation
o The ST_AVAILABLE_IN_STORAGE_POOLS metric exposes the available capacity in
Storage Pools
o The ST_CAPACITY metric of the storage systems is now the sum of the
ST_AVAILABLE_FOR_STORAGE_POOLS metric and the sum of Storage Pools andTraditional Volume capacities
The error message displayed when querying an SMI-S provider that doesnt support the EMCnamespace has been improved to be more explicit
5Release Notes v4100
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Fixed IssuesAn error occurred when populating Run History on BCO 9501 or higher
The NullPointerException does not occur anymore when discovering Disk Groups
Relations between Volumes and Storage Pools were missing in the BCO workspace
The value of the ST_SYSTEM_IO_RATE metric is now null when the total number of operationsper second performed by the system could not be computed
The ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY metric for storage pools was not properly calculatedwhen FAST policies were enabled in EMC SymmetrixVMAX

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

Introduction
4Release Notes v4100
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Release Notes v4100
Whats NewThe ETL now provides support for WQL query in WBEM client based on SBLIM method
The parameters collection can now be performed at different rates to maintain a suitable refreshrate of the parameters and scale large environments The following specific polling cycles perdevices have been implemented
o Storage Systems Controllers and Ports are collected at every run
o Storage Pools and Disks are collected once per hour
o Volumes (and Host information) parameters are collected once per day
Changes and ImprovementsCode robustness has been improved
Object discovery is performed once per day instead of once per hour to improve the monitoringperformance on large environments
The mechanism that handles the parsing of WBEM queries has been improved to reduce theconsumption of CPU and memory resources
The service activity trace in service log files (also displayed in the log screen of the ETL taskssection) has been improved The service loading is now logged in a serviceLoadinglog dedicatedfile
The discovery or the collect of metrics is automatically interrupted when the time dedicated tothese processes exceeds 3 times the configured servicersquos period
Back End Fiber Ports (FC Ports) are no longer discovered the collected information from theBack End Fiber Ports were not representative of the real data traffic of the disk array
The SQLite store was replaced by a binary files store to avoid performance issues
New computation methods for Symmetrix storage systems
o The ST_AVAILABLE_FOR_STORAGE_POOLS metric exposes the available capacity for
Storage Pools or for Traditional Volumes creation
o The ST_AVAILABLE_IN_STORAGE_POOLS metric exposes the available capacity in
Storage Pools
o The ST_CAPACITY metric of the storage systems is now the sum of the
ST_AVAILABLE_FOR_STORAGE_POOLS metric and the sum of Storage Pools andTraditional Volume capacities
The error message displayed when querying an SMI-S provider that doesnt support the EMCnamespace has been improved to be more explicit
5Release Notes v4100
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Fixed IssuesAn error occurred when populating Run History on BCO 9501 or higher
The NullPointerException does not occur anymore when discovering Disk Groups
Relations between Volumes and Storage Pools were missing in the BCO workspace
The value of the ST_SYSTEM_IO_RATE metric is now null when the total number of operationsper second performed by the system could not be computed
The ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY metric for storage pools was not properly calculatedwhen FAST policies were enabled in EMC SymmetrixVMAX

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted

4Release Notes v4100
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Release Notes v4100
Whats NewThe ETL now provides support for WQL query in WBEM client based on SBLIM method
The parameters collection can now be performed at different rates to maintain a suitable refreshrate of the parameters and scale large environments The following specific polling cycles perdevices have been implemented
o Storage Systems Controllers and Ports are collected at every run
o Storage Pools and Disks are collected once per hour
o Volumes (and Host information) parameters are collected once per day
Changes and ImprovementsCode robustness has been improved
Object discovery is performed once per day instead of once per hour to improve the monitoringperformance on large environments
The mechanism that handles the parsing of WBEM queries has been improved to reduce theconsumption of CPU and memory resources
The service activity trace in service log files (also displayed in the log screen of the ETL taskssection) has been improved The service loading is now logged in a serviceLoadinglog dedicatedfile
The discovery or the collect of metrics is automatically interrupted when the time dedicated tothese processes exceeds 3 times the configured servicersquos period
Back End Fiber Ports (FC Ports) are no longer discovered the collected information from theBack End Fiber Ports were not representative of the real data traffic of the disk array
The SQLite store was replaced by a binary files store to avoid performance issues
New computation methods for Symmetrix storage systems
o The ST_AVAILABLE_FOR_STORAGE_POOLS metric exposes the available capacity for
Storage Pools or for Traditional Volumes creation
o The ST_AVAILABLE_IN_STORAGE_POOLS metric exposes the available capacity in
Storage Pools
o The ST_CAPACITY metric of the storage systems is now the sum of the
ST_AVAILABLE_FOR_STORAGE_POOLS metric and the sum of Storage Pools andTraditional Volume capacities
The error message displayed when querying an SMI-S provider that doesnt support the EMCnamespace has been improved to be more explicit
5Release Notes v4100
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Fixed IssuesAn error occurred when populating Run History on BCO 9501 or higher
The NullPointerException does not occur anymore when discovering Disk Groups
Relations between Volumes and Storage Pools were missing in the BCO workspace
The value of the ST_SYSTEM_IO_RATE metric is now null when the total number of operationsper second performed by the system could not be computed
The ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY metric for storage pools was not properly calculatedwhen FAST policies were enabled in EMC SymmetrixVMAX

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)
STOHOST BYHOST_ALLOCATED (allocated space by host)
BYHOST_SIZE (by host physical size)
Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

27Configuring the ETL
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
PRIVATE if only this ETL will extract data from the specified resources
SHARED to avoid duplicates if several ETLs extract data from the same resources Youll thenhave to specify the ETL with which this ETL will share the information
6 If you previously selected the [59] OBJREL - Object relationships dataset you can expandthe Object relationship menu to indicate the Domain tree the imported entities will populate
choosing new Domain displays the domain default name Storage - EMC SMI-S AgentExtractor Service The default name is editable
choosing existing Domain allows you to select a specific domain
Expand the Connection settings menu
Enter the hostname or the IP address of the server where the EMC SMI-S Agent is running
Indicate the port number used by the EMC SMI-S Provider (default 5989)
Enter the username and password to connect to the EMC SMI-S Provider The defaultusername is Admin This username is set with the mandatory administrators rights If youwish to use a different username make sure it has administrators rights For detailedinformation about the rights management refer to the EMC SMI-S Provider documentation)
Select the Transport Protocol used by the EMC SMI-S Provider (for HTTP the default port is80 for HTTPS the default port is 443)

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administratorscan disable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entitiesinto the BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumesmonitoring is re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected Whilethe system resource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longerdisplayed in the console Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of othersources metrics may be impacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailedinformation)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volumes Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manage data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed and loadedin the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected data willhowever be used to calculate metrics for other sources when required Thiswill reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantly slowsdown the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoring preventsthe discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow the ETL tocollect save or process their data Note that the calculation of metrics forother sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
30Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization
Version 4100
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacityand performance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor thesystem resource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization RunConfiguration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJRELdatasets are selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volumes Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application
