Field | Description | Sample Value |
Collector Domain | The domain of the collector to which the collector backup policy is being added. This is a read-only field. By default, the domain for a new policy will be the same as the domain for the collector. This field is set when you add a collector. | |
Policy Domain | The Collector Domain is the domain that was supplied during the Data Collector installation process. The Policy Domain is the domain of the policy that is being configured for the Data Collector. The Policy Domain must be set to the same value as the Collector Domain. The domain identifies the top level of your host group hierarchy. All newly discovered hosts are added to the root host group associated with the Policy Domain. Typically, only one Policy Domain will be available in the drop-down list. If you are a Managed Services Provider, each of your customers will have a unique domain with its own host group hierarchy. To find your Domain name select Admin > Hosts and Domains > Domains. | |
SYMAPI Service Names | Enter a comma-separated list of SYMAPI service names, such as SYMAPI_SECURE. These names are defined in $EMC_HOME\SYMAPI\config\netcnfg of the Data Collector server. Typically, $EMC_HOME on Windows is C:\Program File\EMC and on Linux it is /usr/ This option is only used with remote host configuration, not when the Data Collector is the primary Solutions Enabler host. | SYMAPI_SECURE |
EMC Symmetrix Client Software Location * | This location refers to the location on the Data Collector. Linux: /usr/symcli/bin Windows: C:\Program Files\EMC\symCLI\bin On Windows, the short name for the directory path may be required when spaces are included in a path: C:\PROGRA~2\EMC\symCLI\bin. The short name can be determined with the “dir /x” command in the parent directory. | |
Arrays to Exclude | Enter one or more Symmetrix SymIDS to be excluded. Comma-separated SymIDs are supported. Example: 000190102500, 000190102501 | |
Array Details | Click the check box to activate array details collection. Note that at least one collection from this array must be performed BEFORE array performance data can be collected. Click the clock icon to create a schedule. Every Minute, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly schedules may be created. Relative schedules are relative to when the Data Collector is restarted. Advanced use of native CRON strings is also available. Examples of CRON expressions: */30 * * * * means every 30 minutes */20 9-18 * * * means every 20 minutes between the hours of 9am and 6pm */10 * * * 1-5 means every 10 minutes Mon - Fri. | |
