Release Notes for v4.1.04
What's New BMC Performance Manager Express for NetApp Filers now supports: Data ONTAP API v.8.3.x (cluster-mode). FC and parallel SCSI host adapters. quotas.
The inUse parameter was added to the Host Adapter application class to indicate whether the adapter is in use or not. The following parameters were added to the Ethernet Port application class: Type to indicate the Etherner port type. Bandwidth Utilization to indicate the percentage used of the available bandwidth. Inbound Bandwidth Utilization to indicate the percentage of inbound bandwidth used on the Ethernet port (received bytes). Link Status to indicate whether the link is up or down. Link Speed to indicate the actual speed of the Ethernet port. Outbound Bandwidth Utilization to indicate the percentage of outbound bandwidth used on the Ethernet port (sent bytes). Duplex Mode to indicate whether the port is configured to operate in half-duplex or fullduplex mode. The following parameters were added to the Vserver application class: Operation Rate to indicate the total number of operations per second. Read Operation Rate to indicate the number of read operations per second. Write Operation Rate to indicate the number of write operations per second. Read Byte Rate to indicate the bytes read per second by the Vserver. Read Bytes to indicate the bytes read by the Vserver. Transfer Byte Rate to indicate the total bytes read and written per second by the Vserver. Transfer Bytes to indicate the bytes read and written to the Vserver since the last collect. Write Byte Rate to indicate the bytes written per second by the Vserver. Write Bytes to indicate the bytes written by the Vserver.
Changes and Improvements The computation method used to calculate the volumes capacity metrics has been standardized for both 7-mode and cluster-mode. It now includes the total data space and the snapshot reserve. The parameters of the Volume application class impacted by this improvement are: Capacity: it exposes the total data space and the snapshot reserve Available Capacity Percentage: it exposes the available data space Consumed Capacity: it exposes the data used space and the snapshot reserve Consumed Capacity Percentage: it exposes the consumed space compared to the capacity.

BMC Performance Manager Express for NetApp Filers Version 4.1.04
New Parameters
The Used parameter was removed from the Host Adapter application class. To provide more meaningful information, the instance name has been improved for the vFiler application class. To provide better hardware detection in multiple-channel scenario, hardware instance names and IDs have been modified for power supplies, fans, voltages, and temperatures.
Fixed Issues
Known Issues Since the license-list-info API is no longer supported in Data ONTAP 8.2, inactive licenses cannot be determined in 7-mode. Java 1.8 uses TSL instead of SSLv3 which prevents the monitoring solution to connect to Data ONTAP. To use BMC Performance Manager Express for NetApp Filers with Java 1.8, you will have to first enable TLS. For more information, please refer to the NetApp documentation.

BMC Performance Manager Express for NetApp Filers Version 4.1.04
In cluster mode, BMC Performance Manager Express for NetApp Filers failed to retrieve the SnapMirror status. Warnings are no longer triggered for zeroed disks. Negative values were sometimes reported in cluster mode for the parameters Sent Packet Rate, Sent Error Rate, Received Packet Rate, Transfer Packet Rate, Received Error Rate, Transfer Error Rate, Read Byte Rate, Read Bytes, Write Byte Rate, Write Bytes, Transfer Byte Rate, Transfer Bytes and Received Packet Dropped Rate of the Ethernet Port application class. An alarm is now triggered on the Present parameter of the Disk application class when the Data ONTAP API does not see the disks anymore. An exception could occur: when the parent instance was not available. when collecting disk information which caused the whole collect to fail. when collecting information about FC ports operating in 7-mode. when discovering quota in 7-mode. in cluster mode when discovering disks. in cluster mode when discovering disk instances and no shelf information was available. in cluster mode when discovering volumes which caused the collect to stop. when the value for an aggregate was null.
Overview
BMC Performance Manager Express for NetApp Filers is an agent-less Performance Manager which monitors all your NetApp storage assets within a centralized management console (BMC Portal). All the information concerning disk arrays, aggregates, controllers, LUNs, and ports are directly displayed in your BMC Framework. By monitoring all your NetApp storage devices within a centralized management console, you can respond quickly to performance problems, easily determine capacity requirements, effectively plan for network expansions or also keep an eye on the critical hardware components of NetApp Filers.

Integrating with BPPM
Overview
BMC Performance Manager Express for NetApp Filers Version 4.1.04
To integrate a Performance Manager into BMC ProactiveNet, you need to first install and configure the solution in BMC Portal, automatically enable the application classes and create a specific adapter. An adapter for BMC Portal facilitates pulling of performance data from existing BMC Portal solutions into BMC ProactiveNet. Using an Adapter, you can import BMC Portal application classes (provided in a Performance Manager – PM) into BMC ProactiveNet. The Adapter periodically synchronizes the performance data collected by these application classes into BMC ProactiveNet.

We strongly recommend that you create a specific adapter for each PM you need to integrate into BMC ProactiveNet to enable the update of a single PM independently.
Managing Baselines and Key Performance Indicators In order to facilitate the detection of abnormalities on your monitored environment, BMC ProactiveNet calculates baselines per parameter (metrics or attributes) based on values collected over a specified period of time to determine a normal operating range. When the collected values for these parameters are out of range, an alert is triggered. Some parameters are identified by default as Key Performance Indicators and therefore automatically included in the base lining calculation.
Managing baselines The baseline is the expected normal operating range for a metric or attribute of a monitor. The baseline is calculated by collecting the values for a monitor’s attributes and metrics over a specified time period and establishing a low baseline value (consisting of the 10th percentile of all the values for a given time period) and a high baseline value (consisting of the 90th percentile of all the values for a given time period), taking a weighted average of these values over time. A higher weight is given to the latest data being factored into the baseline average. The accuracy of the baseline improves over time.
For baselines to be generated for an attribute, that abnormality threshold means that the threshold exists and is not suppressed. Additionally, if the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) mode is active, only those attributes that have an active abnormality threshold and are also KPI attributes will have baselines generated for them.
Absolute thresholds (with "outside baseline") or signature thresholds do not satisfy these requirements.
Managing Key Performance Indicators The KPI attribute of a parameter can be activated or deactivated manually through the BMC ProactiveNet Administration Console. In this PM, some parameters or attributes have been designated as important indicators of performance (KPIs). We do not recommend that these default settings are modified.

Detecting Inode Shortages On rare occasions file systems may run out of free inodes. While rare, this can have catastrophic consequences for the file system's applications and users. To prevent this situation, you can monitor the Used Inodes Percentage parameter of the Volume class. 1. In Portal, expand the Volumes instances. These instances are available under: Aggregate > Volume (C-Mode) Cluster > Vserver > Volume (C-Mode) Filer > Volume (7-Mode)
Used Inodes Percentage
2. Click the History icon of the Volume instances to display history charts that shows the data values, for these instances, collected for a selected parameter during the previous six hours. You can customize the chart and table to show parameter history for different time periods.

Reporting on the Aggregate Space Utilization Aggregates are the equivalent of storage pools, where all of the volumes are created. Running out of space in an aggregate means that administrators are no longer able to allocate disk space to users and servers. Additionally, if the volumes in the aggregate are thinly provisioned (space reservation at the file level), the inability to automatically extend the capacity of a volume due to a lack of space in the aggregate will result in applications being denied the right to write, leading to data loss and corruption. Therefore, NetApp administrators need to pay close attention to the evolution of the space utilization in their filers and proactively monitor it to make sure such critical situation is avoided.

Verifying the Activity Generated by a LUN In order to understand the high activity of a filer, it is important to identify the LUNs generating the heaviest I/Os. The SAN administrator can then check with the system administrator whether the reported activity may be considered a normal behavior. The Read Byte Rate and Write Byte Rate parameters of the LUN instances expose the data throughput for each LUN. Use these parameters to report on the total data traffic (per hour or per day) on each LUN in GB.
To make sure that traffic is displayed cumulatively per hour, select a time window of at least 12 hours in the graph window, select at least 7 days to visualize per day cumulative data.

Reporting Parameters for which values are cumulative are generally only representative when considered for a specific period of time. Those values are therefore mostly unusable when displayed in the Status tab of the Portal, since they represent a static number of data collected since the last polling. The value consequently changes a lot depending on the exact polling period. A rather more meaningful way to view cumulative-value parameters would be to create a report to visualize these values on a hourly or daily basis in total (how many gigabytes have been transmitted each day, for example). Open the Reports tab Select the NetApp Filer for which you want to obtain received and transmitted data values Select 2 in the Number of Charts to Display option Select for the Network Transfer Bytes (GB) parameter for the first chart and Disk Transfer Bytes (GB) for the second chart 5.

Enabling the Debug Mode By default, BMC Performance Manager Express for NetApp Filers sends only the most critical information, warning and error messages to the Application Collection Status parameter. Most often, this information is accurate enough to ensure that BMC Performance Manager Express for NetApp Filers is functioning properly. If you encounter an issue and wish to report it to customer support, you will be asked to enable the Debug Mode and provide the debug output to the support team. 1. 2. 3. 4.
Open the Configure tab Under Tasks, click Elements Select the Element for which a debug output is required and click Edit. Scroll down to Application Classes > click the Application class for which you want to enable the debug mode > click Edit. 5. Select Yes from the drop-down Debug Mode list. By default, BPM Express NetApp Filers sends its debug output to: %RSM_HOME%\RSM(xx)\server\rsm\log\sen*_debug.log". 6. Wait for 15 minutes and then disable the debug mode by selecting No. 7. Send the debug file to the support team. Pay attention to the file size -the debug output of BMC Performance Manager Express for NetApp Filers could be very large if enabled for several days.
By default, the solution discovers and monitors all volumes and LUNs in the NetApp Filers. Discovering and collecting volumes and LUNs metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the targeted system. To limit the number of instances created and therefore reduce the system resource consumption, administrators can disable the monitoring of all the volumes and LUNs of a system.
