What's New
| • | The new TimeSinceLastActivity parameter reports the number of days since the last read or write operation has been observed on the monitored LUN. |
| • | The new TimeSinceLastStatisticsUpdate parameter reports the number of minutes since a new statistics file was created on the cluster. |
Changes and Enhancements
| • | The Debug mode was modified to ensure BPPM 9.x compatibility. |
| • | It is now possible to disable the validation tests of the JRE used by the KM to run Java code and therefore force the KM to use a non-Sun or non-Oracle JRE. To disable the validation test, set the /SENTRY/SEN_SVC/disableJRECheck variable in the PATROL Agent's configuration. Warning: Apache JRE is not supported. |
Reporting
| • | Reports Scheduling: Activity and LUNs Mapping Table reports can now be generated every day at a specific time. The information, retrieved as a text file, can later be used by other tools such as BMC Capacity Optimization. |
| • | Two new reports are available: Per Host Storage Allocation and Per LUN Storage Allocation. They report on the volume of storage respectively allocated to each monitored host and LUN. |
| ▪ | A sorting order can now be specified. |
| ▪ | The size of the LUNs is now displayed to allow administrators to know how much storage is being allocated to each host. |
KM Commands
| • | The KM Commands menu has been reorganized. |
| • | The "Restore Device Monitoring" KM command was renamed "Restore Monitoring". The user interface was also simplified to reduce the number of operations required to restore the monitoring of a component. |
Fixed Issues
| • | Some special characters were not supported in a password, leading to the product not being able to connect to the IBM SVC System. |
| • | Devices still appeared in the console after using the Remove Device Monitoring feature. |
| • | The Restore Monitoring KM command lists devices to restore even when the SMI-S Provider was removed from the monitored environment. |
| • | On UNIX AIX systems, the IP address resolution was incorrectly interpreted. This problem prevented the KM to proceed with the discovery and the collect processes. |
