BMC Performance Manager Express for HP® EVA

BMC Performance Manager Express for HP EVA is designed to help SAN administrators monitoring, collecting and displaying key performance data and business-essential metrics into your BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management environment. As part of the Sentry Software Storage solution BMC Performance Manager Express for HP EVA covers performance counters while BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware collects hardware-related information.

How it Works

BMC Performance Manager Express for HP EVA works in conjunction with BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware. BMC Performance Manager Express for Hardware discovers and monitors all the hardware aspects of the HP EVA disk array: disks, RAIDs, controllers, temperature sensors, fans, power supplies, Ethernet cards, fiber ports, etc. BMC Performance Manager Express for HP EVA discovers and monitors all the software aspects of the array: overall capacity, spare disks, data traffic, cache statistics, etc.

BMC Performance Manager Express for HP EVA requires HP Storageworks v9.1 (and upward) to be properly installed on the Storage Server that comes bundled with the HP EVA Disk Array.

Key Features

  • Disk Array: overall capacity, available space, overall traffic…
  • Controllers: CPU utilization, data traffic, fiber link traffic and performance…
  • Physical Disks: data traffic, protection level, consumed capacity, response time…
  • Virtual Disks: data traffic, mirroring activity, response time, cache statistics…

Key Benefits

  • Collects HP EVA arrays performance and metrics and bring them into your BMC environment
  • Identifies performance bottlenecks (physical disks, controllers, fiber links, etc.)
  • Manages and helps rationalize disk space consumption
  • Reports on activity generated by a virtual disk
  • Analyzes overall traffic and in-depth I/Os, etc.
