Installation

Cohesity DataProtect monitoring

Use local account lpar2rrd for hosting of STOR2RRD on the virtual appliance
Use /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd as the product home

STOR2RRD collects preformance and configuration data from Cohesity using REST API.

Storage connectivity

Allow access from the STOR2RRD host to Cohesity’s nodes on port 443

        $ perl /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/bin/conntest.pl 192.168.1.1 443
          TCP connection to "192.168.1.1" on port "443" is ok

Create a new user for STOR2RRD with the Viewer role
- Login to Cohesity GUI
- Go to Settings -> Access management
- Add Local User and assign “Viewer”

STOR2RRD storage configuration

Ensure you have enough disk space on the filesystem where STOR2RRD is installed
You will need approximately 2 - 30 GB per storage system (it depends on the number of volumes - 30GB will cover 5000 volumes)
```
$ df -g /home   # AIX
$ df -h /home   # Linux
    
```

Schedule the storage agent in stor2rrd crontab (lpar2rrd on Virtual Appliance)
Check there is no entry for Cohesity yet

$ crontab -l | grep load_cohesityperf.sh
$

Add an entry if it doesn't exist

$ crontab -e

# Cohesity  
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/load_cohesityperf.sh > /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/load_cohesityperf.out 2>&1

Ensure there is an entry to build STOR2RRD UI every hour in the crontab

$ crontab -e

# STOR2RRD UI (just ONE entry of load.sh must be there)
5 * * * * /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/load.sh > /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/load.out 2>&1

Let the storage agent run for 15 - 20 minutes to collect data, then:
```
$ cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd
$ ./load.sh
      
```
