How to add a new storage

  • Assure you have enough of disk space on the filesystem where is STOR2RRD installed
    Roughly you might count 1-5GB per a storage, it mainly depends on number of storage volumes (LUNs)

  • Check install manual for particular storage type how to connect the storage include all its prerequisites.

  • STOR2RRD v2.60+: add the storage in the UI --> settings icon --> Storage and try connection test

  • older versions: Place storage name into /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/etc/storage-list.cfg

    Check if it is configured properly:
    $ ./bin/config_check.sh storage_name
    
  • Once it is done then the tool should start data collection

  • Run this about 20 minutes later, it loads data and updates the UI
    $ ./load.sh
    
  • Refresh the web browser (Ctrl-F5)

  • If you get this error after the storage add then follow this check:
    $ ./load.sh
    ...
    ...
    <storage_name>: Can't open /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/data/X/config.html is missing (fresh install or upgrade?, then wait abou 20mins) ...
    <storage_name>: Volumes cfg file has been found : /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/data/X/VOLUME/volumes.cfg ./bin/storage.pl:7594
    Exiting <storage_name> as some core cfg file is missing: config.html || pool.cfg || volumes.cfg
