NetApp® Filers KM for PATROL

NetApp Filers KM for PATROL is a native module for BMC PATROL that monitors all of the performance metrics and usage statistics of your NetApp filers, such as filesystems usage, snapshots, processor utilization, per protocol traffic, etc. It continuously monitors the activity of each filer and is also able to build reports on past utilization statistics.

How It Works

NetApp Filers KM for PATROL works in conjunction with Hardware Sentry KM for PATROL. Hardware Sentry KM discovers and monitors all the hardware aspects of the NetApp disk array: disks, RAIDs, controllers, temperature sensors, fans, power supplies, Ethernet cards, fiber ports, etc.

NetApp Filers KM discovers and monitors all the software aspects of the filer: shares, filesystems, quotas, protocols, etc.

Both Hardware Sentry KM and NetApp Filers KM use the SNMP protocol to communicate with the controllers of the NetApp filer.

Key Features

  • Array activity statistics (network, disk activity, backups, processor utilization, etc.)
  • Files System monitoring (space consumption, available snapshots, quotas, etc.)
  • Per-protocol statistics (CIFS, NFS, fiber, etc.)
  • Mirroring reports (SnapMirror and SnapVault activity and traffic, etc.)
  • LUN Statistics (statistics report on read/write usage over the past days/hours, mapping)…
  • Cluster monitoring (interconnection status, partner status)…

Key Benefits

  • Collects NetApp Filers 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 each protocol
  • Analyzes overall traffic and in-depth I/Os, etc.

Licensing

To monitor a NetApp filer, you need to acquire a license "Sentry Software Monitoring and Analytics for BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management – Storage Monitoring" from BMC Software. The "Storage Monitoring" license gives you the right to use both "Hardware Sentry KM for PATROL" and "NetApp Filers KM for PATROL" to monitor one NetApp filer.
