HP Storage Essentials Performance Edition Software

HP Storage Essentials Performance Edition software provides path aware performance management of your HP disk arrays (EVA andXP), Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) arrays and the storage area networks (SANs) around the disk arrays to optimize and report onstorage performance and availability. Performance Edition delivers a structured approach to resolving performance issues. Itidentifies the path with the performance issues. On the identified path it isolates the element that is the performance bottleneck. Itprovides deep performance metrics on the element to troubleshoot the issue. Best of all the reports and trending of performancemetrics helps analyze the over performance required to deliver the SLA.

It eliminates the complexity to monitor, manage and plan performance of HP disk arrays and SAN's in a host virtualized environment.HP Storage Essentials Performance Edition monitors and manages performance of the physical and the virtual environment; itsupports heterogeneous applications (Oracle, DB2, Informix, Intersystem's Cache, SQL Server, Sybase, DB2 and Informix databases,Exchange application) and heterogeneous servers including VMware as well as SAN devices from diverse vendors. The integratedperformance monitoring enables application, server and storage administrators to quickly troubleshoot EVA, XP storage and HDSarray performance issues and ensure high IT service SLA.

HP Storage Essentials Performance Edition SRM is offered in a simple and easy to order package providing fast ROI. It is positionedas a starter kit consisting of bundled HP Storage Essentials Enterprise Edition SRM licenses and a built-in basic installation andstartup service to help you enjoy the benefits of your investment quickly. HP Storage Essentials SRM Performance Edition bundle canbe easily extended by adding HP Storage Essentials Enterprise Edition SRM licenses with additional installation and startup services.The HP Storage Essentials Performance Edition SRM bundle is intended for installation on a new server and not to extend an existingHP Storage Essentials Enterprise Edition installation.

HP Storage Essentials SRM captures several metrics for business applications such as Oracle, DB2,Informix, MS Exchange, Intersystems Cache, SQL Server and Sybase Adaptive Server. Server and FabricSwitch metrics such as physical and virtual memory used, processor utilization, bytes transmitted andreceived, link failures and CRC errors are captured with respect to the storage data path.

HP Storage Essentials Performance Manager module allows flexible views to monitor all the metricscaptured

Use deep storage data path information to develop good shared understanding among the application,host and storage teams to scope problematic storage data paths to reduce troubleshooting time fromweeks and days to hours and minutes. Leverage topology views, reports, and Performance Manager todrill down into problem areas quickly and easily. To further accelerate root cause analysis, HP StorageEssentials SRM filters out the elements in the storage path that are not relevant to the application incontext, so you can see only the host, HBA port, switch, switch port, storage system port, and storagesystem metrics that matter to trouble shoot the problem.

Historical performance charts with customizable stats aid the ability to take hourly, weekly or monthlysnap - shots. This allows you to track performance trends over time to quickly see what has changed andto take the necessary action before performance bottlenecks get serious. You can also create SLA reportsthat can be easily shared with customers to maintain or exceed very good storage SLA. Lastly, historicalperformance and forecasting allows with load balancing decisions and plan for business continuityscenarios.

HP Storage Essentials SRM also provides the "big picture" views of your storage resources and itsutilization. Current, historical, and projected capacity information is delivered for all supported businessapplications, host servers, fabric switches, and arrays. Use the performance data captured for capacityplanning. Knowing the performance data helps to load balance storage volumes mapped to hosts andapplications across different array and volume groups depending on the application storage access. Itgives valuable information for storage provisioning administrators to squeeze out more out the existingstorage system. For each resource type, capacity and performance information is presented in theappropriate context for that resource (for example, megabytes free for logical host volumes; used andavailable ports for a fabric switch; mapped, unmapped, unallocated, and unused raw capacity for diskpools in a storage system). HP Storage Essentials SRM also provides out-of-box utilization chartssummarize capacity use by host operating system, connection types by switch, port utilization by storagesystem, and more. Historical trends are available for every resource, and can be charted over any lengthof time by day, week, month, or year. In addition, trends can be extrapolated over a user-defined periodto forecast future capacity demands, enabling you to see which logical and physical resources willexhaust capacity soon, and which have excess capacity that can be leveraged.

The following details how to determine the number of MAP licenses required:

Interconnect devices:Interconnect devices:Interconnect devices:Interconnect devices: For a fully populated switch (i.e., all blades are installed and all ports in all blades have GBIC/SFPsinstalled), all ports are counted towards MAPs total. If no interconnect devices add up the number of GBIC/SFPs installed inthe FC switch and that is the MAPs total.

Hosts and Infrastructure:Hosts and Infrastructure:Hosts and Infrastructure:Hosts and Infrastructure:

A non-Storage Area Network (SAN) attached server (no HBA) that has the agent installed/discovered will count as 1 MAPA SAN attached server that has the agent installed/discovered will count each Fibre Channel (FC) port as a MAP (a dualported HBA will count as 2 MAPs)A Fibre Channel switch with 64 Fibre channel active ports counts as 64 MAPsIDE or SCSI ports are not counted in MAP calculations unless they are used to connect to fabric switches or storage systemsA Windows server with no CIM Extension installed, but that has been discovered via WMI will count as 1 MAPFor NPIV only the physical ports are counted. For example, a customer has 10 HP BladeSystem c-Class blades with one HostBuss Adapter (HBA) each dual ported and connected to a Brocade NPIV port will count as 12 MAPs (10*2+1).In the hosted virtual environment, ESX server HBA ports are counted as MAPs. For example, 5 ESX servers with 2 dual portedHBAs counts as 10 MAPs (5*2=10)Each Vmware Virtual Server discovered with HP Storage Essentials will count towards one MAP. Vmware hypervisors (forexample VMware ESX servers) will be treated as physical servers

Storage subsystems:Storage subsystems:Storage subsystems:Storage subsystems:

All discovered storage array controller ports count (for example SMI-S is used to find the arrays). If the array has 8 ports, it will count8 MAPs. The number of MAPs in a storage system includes all physical connections independent of protocol (including FibreChannel, ESCON, SCSI and/or FICON, Ethernet, or Gigabyte Ethernet).

Clusters

Application Cluster SupportThe product is cluster safe.It is "cluster aware" with the use of the Cluster Builder capability in which the user manually assigns a cluster node to a cluster nameor cluster virtual IP address.Where noted below, product supports "clustering" in which the product provides automatic agent-based cluster discovery.There are 2 ways of supporting clusters:1. "Cluster Builder" - with the use of the Cluster Builder capability , the user can manually assign a cluster node to a cluster (host)name or cluster virtual IP address. This is "Cluster Aware."2. "Automatic Cluster Discovery" - by installing a CIM extension on a host, the product supports automatic cluster discovery (seetable below for supported environments).In both cases, cluster topology, capacity, properties, and events are represented.
