EMC storage installation
Back to storage installation home.
In case of usage of
Virtual Appliance
- Use local account lpar2rrd for hosting of STOR2RRD on the virtual appliance
- Use /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd as the product home
- Use lpar2rrd account on storage as it is configured in /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/etc/stor2rrd.cfg (STORAGE_USER)
- Replace lpar2rrd by stor2rrd user in all examples below.
Prerequisites
-
Open communication through network: STOR2RRD server ➡ storage service processors port 6389 (TCP)
-
Install Navisphere Secure CLI. Download it from EMC support page:
-
AIX download of Navisphere CLI (AIX) 7.30.15.0.44
Install it as a lpp source:
# smitty installp ➡ select actuall directory ➡ find package F4 ➡ install
It will be installed into /usr/bin/naviseccli
- Linux download of Navisphere CLI (Linux x64) 7.30.15.0.44
# rpm -i NaviCLI-Linux-64-x86-en_US-7.30.15.0.44-1.x86_64.rpm
It will be installed into /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli
- Debian, Ubuntu packages:
Use either Debian download or conver it via "alien" cmd
# alien NaviCLI-Linux-64-x86-en_US-7.30.15.0.44-1.x86_64.rpm
NaviCLI-Linux-64-x86-en_US-7.30.15.0.44-1.x86_64.deb generated
During installation select "low" verifying level.
-
Create stor2rrd user on the storage (lpar2rrd on Virtual Appliance)
Open the storage GUI and navigate to storage ➡ settings ➡ user management ➡ local users ➡ add.
Create user account stor2rrd with role operator.
-
Allow statistics logging on the storage
GUI ➡ Storage ➡ System properties ➡ Statistics logging ➡ yes
-
Configure naviseccli, on AIX use /usr/bin/naviseccli (lpar2rrd user on Virtual Appliance)
User your own scope <0 - global; 1 - local; 2 - LDAP>
$ /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli -addusersecurity -scope 1 -password XXXXXXXXXXX -user stor2rrd
$ /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli -h <storage controller IP/hostname> getcontrol -all
System Fault LED: OFF
Statistics Logging: ON
...
Statistics logging must be ON
If you get bellow error assure you use right user/password combination and scope (loca/global/LDAP)
$ /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli -h <storage controller IP/hostname> getcontrol -all
Error returned from the Management Server on 192.168.1.1
Authentication failed. Possible reasons for failure are invalid security file, invalid username, password and/or scope.
Remove user and define it again with different scope (like below) or user credentials:
$ /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli -RemoveUserSecurity -user stor2rrd
$ /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli -addusersecurity -scope 0 -password XXXXXXXXXXX -user stor2rrd
STOR2RRD storage configuration
-
Configure storage in etc/storage-list.cfg
Under stor2rrd account create config entry. Uncomment (remove the hash) example line and adjust it:
$ vi /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/etc/storage-list.cfg
#
# EMC VNX block
#
# Storage Alias:VNX:IP address SPA:IP address SPB:VOLUME_AGG_DATA_LIM:VOLUME_AGG_IO_LIM

EMC-VNX-block_alias01:VNX:192.168.1.2:192.168.1.3
-
Assure you have enough of disk space on the filesystem where is STOR2RRD installed
Roughly you might count 2 - 30 GB per a storage (it depends on number of volumes, 30GB for 5000 volumes)
$ df -g /home # AIX
$ df -h /home # Linux
-
Test the storage connectivity:
$ cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd
$ ./bin/config_check.sh

- Schedule to run storage agent from stor2rrd crontab (lpar2rrd on Virtual Appliance)
$ crontab -e

$ crontab -e
# STOR2RRD GUI

-
Let run the storage agent for 15 - 20 minutes to get data, then:
$ cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd
$ ./load.sh
- Go to the web GUI: http://<your web server>/stor2rrd/
Use Ctrl-F5 to refresh the web browser cache.
Prerequisites
- check if you have connection to storage controller on port 22 (do not use data mover IP!):
# telnet <storage controller> 22
Trying...
Connected to <storage controller>
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.1
- Create a user on the storage for download of perf data (lpar2rrd on Virtual Appliance)
- user name: stor2rrd
- expiration: 99999
- CLI access allowed
- roles: opadmin (operator)
- Create ssh-keys on STOR2RRD host under stor2rrd user if do not exist yet.
Type enter instead of passphrase
# su - stor2rrd # (use lpar2rrd user on the Appliance)
$ ls -l ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub # if file exists then skip it
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/stor2rrd/.ssh/id_rsa):
...
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
- Copy ssh-key into the storage under storage stor2rrd
$ scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub stor2rrd@<storage controller>:/tmp/id_rsa.pub
$ ssh stor2rrd@<storage controller>
cat /tmp/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
rm /tmp/id_rsa.pub
exit
- test connectivity, you should no be prompted for password:
$ ssh -q stor2rrd@<storage controller> "export NAS_DB=/nas; nas_server -i server_2"
