Chapter 1: Overview 5

Chapter 1: Overview

EMC VMAX is an enterprise storage system for larger organizations. The EMC VMAX Storage Systems Monitoring probe handles all common monitoring and data collection tasks for vmax users. The data is used to generate Quality of Service (QoS) data and alarms whenever it detects sub optimal performance in the EMC VMAX storage systems.

The probe uses the EMC Solutions Enabler (also known as SYMAPI that enables SYMCLI access) to communicate with the storage arrays. The Command Line Interpreter (CLI) must have direct access to storage and gatekeeper devices which are mapped to the server on which SYMCLI is running. The SYMCLI also can be configured for remote access by running SYMAPI server on servers where the gatekeeper devices are mapped. The probe can discover and monitor both local and remote VMAX systems. The probe runs specific SYMCLI commands and parses output to extract the monitoring information. You can configure alarms and their corresponding thresholds for monitoring purpose.

EMC developed the Solutions Enabler software for storage, system, database administrators, and systems engineers by providing a host with following shared libraries:

SYMAPI (Symmetrix Application Programming Interface)

CLARAPI (CLARiiON Application Programming Interface)

STORAPI (Storage Application Programming Interface)

The EMC Solutions Enabler software also provides a specialized library of UNIX-formatted commands and supports the command-line entries and scripts. These commands enable configuration, control, and management operations on devices and data objects in EMC storage environments. The Solutions Enabler software supports both open systems and mainframe operating systems.

Some solutions enabler operations are as follows:

Array-wide metrics setup.

Operation control on array devices and ports.

Device creation, device provisioning (for host allocation), and creation of device pools for thin provisioning.

Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST).

Array performance optimization.

QoS (Quality of Service) metrics management.

Virtual LUN migration.
