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
- Performance data via ssh: default VPLEX data collectors available through ssh (port 22) : read only access
- Configuration data via REST API: VPLEX Element Manager API (port 443)
Storage access options
- VPLEX 5 full admin access
- VPLEX 5 non storage UI neither VPLEXcli access
This kind of access requires only ssh access to VPLEX management host to get files with perf data.
This will miss in data then:
- Host section
- Host mapping (HOST vrs Volume relationship)
- Host TOP
- Health status
- Capacity
- VPLEX 6 access under vplexuser role
Prerequisites
-
Allow access from the STOR2RRD host to the VPLEX on ports 22 & 443 (TCP).
$ perl /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/bin/conntest.pl 192.168.1.1 22 Connection to "192.168.1.1" on port "22" is ok $ perl /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/bin/conntest.pl 192.168.1.1 443 Connection to "192.168.1.1" on port "443" is ok
-
Create user stor2rrd on the VPLEX host under "users" group and exchange ssh-keys.
This will allow download perfromance data and some basic configuration.
Use vplexuser role on VPLEX 6.-
Create ssh keys if it does not exist yet in /home/stor2rrd/.ssh/id_rsa (type enter instead of passphrase)
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "" Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/stor2rrd/.ssh/id_rsa): ... $ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub AF5afPdciUTJ0PYzB6msRxFrCuDSqDwPshq.....
-
Create stor2rrd user via VPlexcli under admin priviliges
# ssh service@VPLEX01 service@VPLEX01:~> vplexcli Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Enter User Name: admin Password:- VPLEX5
VPlexcli:/> user add -u stor2rrd admin password: New password: Confirm password:

User stor2rrd must be created on all VPLEX systems (clusters).
-
Test connection, you should login without typing of password:
$ ssh vplex01 -l stor2rrd stor2rrd@VPLEX01:~> exit
You have to end up in shell! If you end up in VPLEX CLI then it is wrnong, use above "set shell-access true" cmd.
UI access to https://vplex01 as stor2rrd does not work
-
Allow access to the storage UI (via REST API) under admin priviliges on VPLEX 5
If you do want to allow it then it will work but without this data:- Host section
- Host mapping (HOST vrs Volume relationship)
- Host TOP
- Health status
- Capacity
-
VPLEX 6 apparently starts VPLEXcli automatically after log on.
This must be disabled to allow login only to operating system.
There is a way (perhaps commenting out starting VPLEXcli in .bash_profile or something like that), not sure here as for now.
-
Create ssh keys if it does not exist yet in /home/stor2rrd/.ssh/id_rsa (type enter instead of passphrase)
- Assure that all monitors we use are running (collecting data), they are all default monitors and should run:
VPlexcli:/> ll /monitoring/directors/*/monitors/ /monitoring/directors/director-1-1-A/monitors: Name Ownership Collecting Period Average Idle Bucket Bucket Bucket Bucket -------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Data ------ Period For Min Max Width Count -------------------------------------------------------------- --------- ---------- ------ ------- ----- ------ ------ ------ ------ director-1-1-A_PERPETUAL_vplex_sys_perf_mon_v19 true true 5s 4.97s 2s - - - 64 director-1-1-A_VIRTUAL_VOLUMES_PERPETUAL_MONITOR true true 1min 1min 33s - - - 64 /monitoring/directors/director-1-1-B/monitors: Name Ownership Collecting Period Average Idle Bucket Bucket Bucket Bucket ------------------------------------------------ --------- Data ------ Period For Min Max Width Count ------------------------------------------------ --------- ---------- ------ ------- ---- ------ ------ ------ ------ director-1-1-B_PERPETUAL_vplex_sys_perf_mon_v19 true true 5s 5.05s 4s - - - 64 director-1-1-B_VIRTUAL_VOLUMES_PERPETUAL_MONITOR true true 1min 60s 33s - - - 64 ...
If some do not running then use this procedure to enable it.

STOR2RRD supports these SAN/NAS VNXe storage:- VNXe 1600
- VNXe 3200
- VNXe 3100
- VNXe 3150
- VNXe 3300
Prerequisites
-
Allow access from the STOR2RRD host to the storage service processors on port 443 (TCP).
Test if port is open:$ perl /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/bin/conntest.pl 192.168.1.1 443 Connection to "192.168.1.1" on port "443" is ok
- VNXe Unisphere UEM CLI download
If you have also EMC Unity in place then use Unity UEM CLI which works also for VNXe.
VNXe UEM CLI does not support Unity.
https://support.emc.com/downloads
VNX/VNXe family ➡ VNXe1/2 series ➡ ADD-ONS ➡ More ➡ VNXe Unisphere CLI ➡ Linux 64-bit
- Supported platforms (unfortunatelly there is no AIX support for UEM CLI as per November 2016 at least)
- Linux RedHat
- SuSE Linux
- Solaris (x86 & Sparc)
- Debian, Ubuntu package:

Troubleshooting
- No performance data in STOR2RRD UI:
Check storage XMS console if it has performance data in its graphs.
if not then contact Dell EMC support.
As soon as data appears in XMS console then STOR2RRD starts working as well
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
Storage connectivity
-
Allow access from the STOR2RRD host to the storage on ports 80 (HTTP) and 5988 (SMI-S).
If you use storage cmd line configuration like in examples below (you can use the storage UI instead) then port 22 (ssh) must be open.
If you use https and secure SMI-S then test ports 443 and 5989 instead below ones.
$ perl /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/bin/conntest.pl 192.168.1.1 80 Connection to "192.168.1.1" on port "80" is ok $ perl /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/bin/conntest.pl 192.168.1.1 5988 Connection to "192.168.1.1" on port "5988" is ok
- Assure that SMI-S 5988 and HTTP protocols are enabled on the storage
If SMI-S 5988 or HTTP is not enabled:$ ssh -l manage <storage_hostname> # show protocols Service and Security Protocols ------------------------------ Web Browser Interface (HTTP): Enabled Secure Web Browser Interface (HTTPS): Enabled Command Line Interface (Telnet): Disabled Secure Command Line Interface (SSH): Enabled Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S): Disabled Unsecure Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S 5988): Enabled ...
# set protocols usmis enabled # set protocols http enabled
-
Create user stor2rrd on the storage with monitor role and allow SMI-S and XML API.
Adjust password to your preferred one from used Test1234.Note newer firmwares might require role "standard" for WBI access.$ ssh -l manage <storage_hostname> # create user interfaces smis,wbi locale English password Test1234 roles monitor stor2rrd
- In case you want to use SSL access to the storage
enable ports 5989 and 443 and start up SSL services on the storage instead of non SSL ones# set protocols smis enabled # set protocols https enabled

STOR2RRD storage configuration
- All actions below under stor2rrd user (lpar2rrd on Virtual Appliance)
-
Add storage into configuration from the UI:
Settings icon ➡ Storage ➡ New ➡ Vendor:device ➡ Dell EMC ME4
-
Do not use shell special characters like @#!?|$*[]\{}`"'& in the password, use rather ;:.+- instead.
-
Make sure you have enough of disk space on the filesystem where is STOR2RRD installed
Roughly you might count 2 - 30 GB per a storage (it depends on number of volumes, 30GB for 5000 volumes)$ df -g /home # AIX $ df -h /home # Linux
-
Test storage connectivity, either from the UI or from the command line:
If you use HTTPS and do not have installed Perl SSL support then you get an error:
$ cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd $ ./bin/config_check.sh ===================== STORAGE: EMC-ME4-alias01 : DOTHILL ===================== connection ok
"Missing LWP::Protocol::https", "Connection reset by peer" or "500 SSL negotiation failed"
Follow this or switch to HTTP on the storage line in etc/storage-list.cfg.
- Schedule to run storage agent from stor2rrd crontab (lpar2rrd on Virtual Appliance, it might already exist there)
Add if it does not exist as above
$ crontab -l | grep load_dothillperf.sh $
Assure there is already an entry with the UI creation running once an hour in crontab$ crontab -e # DotHill AssuredSAN and its rebrands like Lenovo S2200 or HPE MSA2000/P2000, Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 Series, Quantum StorNex 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/load_dothillperf.sh > /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/load_dothillperf.out 2>&1

$ cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd $ ./load.sh
- Go to the web UI: http://<your web server>/stor2rrd/
Use Ctrl-F5 to refresh the web browser cache.
Troubleshooting
- Assure SMI-S is working for user stor2rrd. Adjust password and storage_hostname in example below:
$ /usr/bin/wbemcli -nl -t -noverify ein 'http://stor2rrd:<password>@<storage_hostnamew>:5988/root/dsh:SMI_Controller' 192.168.1.1:5988/root/smis:SMI_Controller.Name="208000c0ff261f53:A",CreationClassName="SMI_Controller" 192.168.1.2:5988/root/smis:SMI_Controller.Name="208000c0ff261f53:B",CreationClassName="SMI_Controller"
When it does not work then check user rights of stor2rrd user (must have "smis"), network visibility (firewall), user/password combination.
