NetApp E-Series Planning Data Collector Deployment

Note: NetApp E-Series refers to arrays formerly branded as IBM Modular. This covers the 3000, 4000, and 5000 series arrays.

Note: Identify a server where the Data Collector software will be installed. Server requirements include:

• 64-bit OS. See the APTARE StorageConsole Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.

• Support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7.

• For performance reasons, APTARE recommends that you do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the StorageConsole Portal. However, if you must have both on the same server, verify that the Portal and Data Collector software do not reside in the same directory.

• Install only one Data Collector on a server (or OS instance).

1. On the Data Collector server, add entries to the local hosts file, both resolving to the Portal server IP address.

Example:

• 172.16.2.2 aptareportal.<yourdomain>.com

• 172.16.2.3 aptareagent.<yourdomain>.com

Data Collector Configurations Specific to NetApp E-Series

1. Gather the following required configuration details:

• Array Addresses: IP addresses or name.

• SMCLI Client Software Location: Location of the SMCLI executable.

2. Configure a Data Collector policy using the following additional details.

Field	Description
Collector Domain	Typically, only one domain is listed; Managed Services Providers will have a domain for each customer. The Collector Domain is the domain that was supplied during the Data Collector installation process.
Array Addresses	Comma-separated list of IP addresses and/or names of the storage arrays.
SMCLI Client Software Location	The location of the SMCLI executable, for example: Linux: /opt/SM8/client/ Windows: C:\Program Files\SM8\client\
Array Details	Click the clock to set the schedule for collecting array details.

3. On the Data Collector server, install/update the Data Collector software, using the instructions in the APTARE StorageConsole Data Collector Installation Guide for Capacity Manager.
