What's New
| • | BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management - NetApp Storage now supports: |
| ▪ | FC and parallel SCSI host adapters. |
New Attributes
| • | The following attributes were added to the NetApp Ethernet Port monitor type: |
| ▪ | Bandwidth Utilization to indicate the percentage used of the available bandwidth. |
| ▪ | Inbound Bandwidth Utilization to indicate the percentage of inbound bandwidth used on the Ethernet port (received bytes). |
| ▪ | Link Status to indicate whether the link is up or down. |
| ▪ | Link Speed to indicate the actual speed of the Ethernet port. |
| ▪ | Outbound Bandwidth Utilization to indicate the percentage of outband bandwidth used on the Ethernet port (sent bytes). |
| • | The inUse attribute was added to the NetApp Host Adapter monitor to indicate whether the adapter is in use or not. |
| • | The following attributes were added to the NetApp Vserver monitor type: |
| ▪ | Operation Rate to indicate the total number of operations per second. |
| ▪ | Read Operation Rate to indicate the number of read operations per second. |
| ▪ | Read Byte Rate to indicate the bytes read per second by the Vserver. |
| ▪ | Transfer Byte Rate to indicate the total bytes transferred per second (sent and received) over the network. |
| ▪ | Write Byte Rate to indicate the bytes written per second by the Vserver. |
| ▪ | Write Operation Rate to indicate the number of write operations per second. |
Changes and Improvements
| • | The computation method used to calculate the volumes capacity attributes has been standardized for both 7-mode and cluster-mode. It now includes the total data space and the snapshot reserve. The attributes of the NetApp Volume monitor type impacted by this improvement are: |
| ▪ | Capacity: it exposes the total data space and the snapshot reserve |
| ▪ | Available Capacity Percentage: it exposes the available data space |
| ▪ | Consumed Capacity: it exposes the data used space and the snapshot reserve |
| ▪ | Consumed Capacity Percentage: it exposes the consumed space compared to the capacity. |
| • | To provide more meaningful information, the display names have been improved for the following monitor types: |
 Please note that monitoring history will be lost for all the above monitor types when upgrading to version 3.2.00.
Fixed Issues
| • | NetApp Power Supply Monitor Type: A false alarm was triggered on the Present attribute even though the power supply was not installed. |
| • | An alarm is now triggered on the Present attribute of the NetApp Disk monitor type when the Data ONTAP API does not see the disks anymore. |
| ▪ | No instances were created in BPPM when using a version of the PATROL Agent lower than v.9.5. This issue is now fixed. |
| ▪ | An exception occurred in cluster mode when discovering disk instances and no shelf information was available. |
| • | A NullPointerException could occur when collecting information about FC ports operating in 7-mode. |
