Changes and Improvements
• | It is now possible to configure specific alert actions to be executed when a problem occurs. |
• | Definitions for the AvailableCapacity and SubscribedCapacity parameters of the SEN_HDS_ARRAY application class have been updated to better reflect the actual calculation method used to report on these parameters. |
• | The capacity of all imported primordial storage pools is now considered for calculating the size of the array (SEN_HDS_ARRAY). |
• | The System Output Window (SOW) messages generated by Hitachi Disk Arrays KM are now saved in the SEN_HDS_debug_km_*.log debug file when the debug mode is activated. |
• | The time taken by Hitachi Disk Arrays KM to report on the size of a disk array has been significantly reduced. |
• | In order to optimize the monitoring on large environment, users can now customize the discovery and the collect processes timeouts by using two new configuration variables: discoveryOperationTimeout and collectOperationTimeout. See the Configuration Variables section for detailed information. |
Fixed Issues
• | An erroneous calculation method led Hitachi Disk Arrays KM to report wrong values for the OperationRate parameters for Disk Arrays and Volumes. |
• | An error could sometimes occur when the Status of a Disk Array is unavailable. |
• | The value reported for the OperationRate parameter of FC Ports was inaccurate due to a time's conversion error. |
• | Reinitializing the KM removes all the SEN_HDS_<HOSTNAME>_oldInstances-<PATROLAGENT>-<PORT>.dat files. |
• | Before each re-initialization of the KM, Hitachi Disk Arrays KM for PATROL backs-up the latest PATROL Agent configuration and save the data in a timestamped configuration file. The number of configuration backup files can rapidly use a large amount of space on a server. To avoid this situation, Hitachi Disk Arrays KM for PATROL will now only save the latest configuration backup under the %PATROL_HOME%\config directory. |
• | The metrics did not expose the actual value for HP P9500 disk arrays. |
• | Hitachi Disk Arrays KM for PATROL could not be loaded when using a version of the PATROL Agent lower than v.9.5. This issue is now fixed. |
• | When the monitoring of volumes is disabled, the ConsumedCapacity and ConsumedCapacityPercentage parameters are now still collected at the Storage Pools level. |
• | Hitachi Disk Arrays KM failed to collect data when the Hitachi Device Manager refresh frequency was set to Every Hour or Once a Day. |
