Obtaining Disk Drive Statistics from Engenio Storage Systems

IMPORTANT:

Depending on your license, the ability to obtain disk drives statistics from Engenio

storage systems may not be available. See the “List of Features” to determine if you have access to

the additional statistics. The “List of Features” is accessible from the Documentation Center (Help >
Documentation Center

in Storage Essentials).

To obtain information about disk drive statistics from Engenio storage systems, you must install a

CIM Extension on a host that can access the Engenio storage system. Ensure the proxy host has at

least one LUN rendered by each controller of the array. Then, you must make the management

server aware of that host, as described in the following steps:

1.

Install the CIM Extension on a host that has access to the Engenio storage system.

2.

Discover that host.

3.

Select Optimize > Storage Essentials > Performance Data Collection.

4.

Verify the Data Collection tab is displayed.

5.

Click the Start button corresponding with the disk drive statistics for an Engenio storage system.

The repeat interval determines how often the collectors gather the data.
