Introduction
This guide provides the information you need to install and use 3PAR® System Reporter to
monitor performance, create charge back reports, and plan storage resources for 3PAR InServ®
Storage Servers. An optionally licensed component called Adaptive Optimization is also
included with System Reporter that can be used to monitor and automatically optimize
utilization of storage resources. If you do not have a licence for Adaptive Optimization, the
monitoring and system reporting features are still accessible but the optimization capabilities
are inactivated.
1.1 Audience
This user’s guide is for system and storage administrators who monitor and direct system
configurations and resource allocation for 3PAR InServ® storage systems.
1.2 User Interfaces
The 3PAR InForm® Operating System (InForm OS) has two user interfaces: the 3PAR InForm
Command Line Interface (CLI) and the 3PAR InForm Management Console (IMC). You can use
the IMC or the InForm CLI to monitor storage servers and access statistics. From the IMC or
InForm CLI, you also can export table data to a .CSV
(Comma-Separated Variable) file and then use Microsoft® Excel® or similar software to import
that file. However, to generate reports directly in Microsoft Excel and to access historical
information, you must use the system reporting tools described in this guide.
