This section lists enhancement highlights for Release 9.2. For a list of all updates, see
Enhancements and Resolved Issues by Category.
• Support for NetApp Cluster-Mode Arrays, including performance data. See the system report templates listed in the
Storage Viewer for Capacity Enhancements and Resolved Issues section. Note that any NetApp reports that do not have Cluster-Mode in the title are reports for NetApp ONTAP 7-Mode storage systems.
• Support for NetApp E-Series Arrays.
• LUN Performance statistics are now exposed in the Dynamic Template Designer (DTD) and a new LUN Performance report is available under Storage Performance in the Portal Explorer. In addition, several capacity reports now include drilldown links to LUN Details.
• Support for line charts in the Dynamic Template Designer. This is particularly useful for creating reports on array performance statistics.
• Custom text fields are now available in the Dynamic Template Designer (DTD).
• Support for Internet Explorer 11 as a Portal browser.
• Support for Avamar 7 data collection.
• A new Support Tools feature allows you to create a package of specific files for download for the purpose of troubleshooting. You can also set up an email notification so that you will know when files are available for analysis. These configuration files and data collector logs can help Support when examining an issue.
• HDS Cloud Expansion. HDS will begin delivering and maintaining customizable templates through the HDS Cloud. This enables HDS to deliver new report templates while keeping current system templates up-to-date by dynamically updating report templates for many current system templates.
• Storage Viewer for Virtual Servers Data Collection Modes. By default, VM Inventory collection only captures information about the files referenced by the collected virtual machine. Now you can choose to either collect from the VM inventory or collect from the entire datastore (including the VM inventory). The more detailed collection is performed by scanning the datastore to discover files resident on the datastore, but not associated with a VM in the inventory. These resident files that may not be visible to VMware, but are consuming space.
• Technical Notes are now included in the Online Documentation Library. You can quickly search for and find information relating to ports for firewall configurations, security, array performance and data collector troubleshooting.
