NetApp Data ONTAP ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization

Release Notes for v7.1.00

Home  Previous  Next

warningBecause extended levels are not imported by default by the ETL in v10.3, some metrics might be missing. To ensure all metrics are imported, you will have to set the collection level to [4] Extended.

What's New

Support for Data ONTAP v8.3 (cluster-mode).
The ST_DISK and ST_DISK_TYPE metrics were added to the STOGLB dataset to respectively expose the total number of used disks and the type of disks used for the pool.
A new metric ST_VOLUME_IO_RATE was added to the STOGLB dataset to expose the total number of operations per second performed on the volume.

Changes and Improvements

Shares (NetApp Volumes) Monitoring configuration has been improved to be more user-friendly. A single option is now available to enable/disable shares monitoring and shares import.
Volumes (NetApp LUNs) Monitoring configuration has been improved to be more user-friendly. A single option is now available to enable/disable volumes monitoring and volumes import.
The following relations have been changed in v7.0.00:

Deprecated Relations

New Relations (Vendor Agnostic Terminology)

SA_CONTAINS_LUN

SA_CONTAINS_VOLUME

FILER_CONTAINS_VFILER

SA_CONTAINS_FILER

FILER_CONTAINS_VOLUME

FILER_CONTAINS_SHARE

FILER_CONTAINS_AGGREGATE

FILER_CONTAINS_SP

FILER_CONTAINS_LUN

FILER_CONTAINS_VOLUME

SP_CONTAINS_LUN

SP_CONTAINS_VOLUME

AGGREGATE_CONTAINS_VOLUME

SP_CONTAINS_SHARE

VOLUME_CONTAINS_LUN

SHARE_CONTAINS_VOLUME

More detailed information is now provided for Ethernet ports through the BYPORT_TYPE metric of the STOSSW dataset.

Fixed Issues

An error occurred when deploying the ETL package v7.0.00 with BMC TrueSight CO 10.3 on an Oracle database.
Connector's loading has been improved to prevent failures when local store files are corrupted.
Duplicate entities could appear in the Hierarchy Rules page.
The value for the metrics ST_CIFS_RATE, ST_FC_RATE, ST_ISCSI_RATE, ST_NFS_RATE, and ST_SAN_RATE was not correct.
An exception could occur:
when collecting disk information in 7-mode and caused the collect to fail.
when discovering disks in cluster mode.
when the value for an aggregate was null.
when discovering qtree.
The ETL v7.0.00 failed to discover volumes and their associated quotas in 7-mode if the multistore license was not active. If this situation occurs, the ETL now forces the discovery of the vFiler0.
The ETL now properly handles white spaces in the Hostname and Partner Hostname fields.
An exception could occur when discovering quota in 7-mode.
Volumes were not properly associated to their aggregate.

Known Issue

When using BMC TrueSight CO 10.3, SSLv3 is disabled by default, which prevents NetApp Data ONTAP ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to connect to Data ONTAP. To use the NetApp Data ONTAP ETL with BMC TrueSight CO 10.3, you will have to first enable TLS. For more information, please refer to the NetApp documentation.
