27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)
28Customizing Volumes Monitoring

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled

VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)

VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)
28Customizing Volumes Monitoring

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)
28Customizing Volumes Monitoring

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

26Configuring the ETL for BCO
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
PRIVATE if only this ETL will extract data from the specified resources
SHARED to avoid duplicates if several ETLs extract data from the same resources Youll thenhave to specify the ETL with which this ETL will share the information
6 Expand the Object relationship menu to indicate the Domain tree the imported entities willpopulate
choosing new Domain displays the domain default name Sentry Software Integration forBCO - EMC SMI-S Agent Extractor Service The default name is editable
choosing existing Domain allows you to select a specific domain
7 Expand the Connection settings menu
Enter the hostname or the IP address of the server where the EMC SMI-S Agent is running
Indicate the port number used by the EMC SMI-S Provider (default 5989)
Enter the username and password to connect to the EMC SMI-S Provider The default usernameis Admin This username is set with the mandatory administrators rights If you wish to use adifferent username make sure it has administrators rights For detailed information about therights management refer to the EMC SMI-S Provider documentation)
Select the Transport Protocol used by the EMC SMI-S Provider (for HTTP the default port is80 for HTTPS the default port is 443)

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application

27Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Customizing Volumes Monitoring
Discovering volumes and collecting their performance metrics are resource-intensive actions that cancreate extra workload on the system To reduce the system resource consumption administrators candisable or enable the volumes monitoring at will and fine-tune the creation of volume entities into theBCO environment
Disabling volumes monitoring
Disabling the monitoring of volumes suspends the discovery of all volumes until the volumes monitoringis re-enabled Thus volumes capacity and performance metrics are not collected While the systemresource consumption is therefore significantly reduced valuable metrics are no longer displayed in theconsole Additionally when data is no longer collected the calculation of other sources metrics may beimpacted (refer to the Fine-tuning entities management section for detailed information)
To disable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Disabling Volum es Monitoring
3 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select Yes
4 Click Save
The table below lists the datasets and their respective metrics that are no longer collected andtherefore not displayed in the console when the volumes monitoring is disabled
Dataset Metrics
STOGLB ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (storage consumed capacity)
ST_DEVICE_TOTAL (Device Space) ST_PRIMARY_ALLOCATED (Primary Allocated UsableSpace)
ST_DEVICECOUNT (number of volumes)
ST_HOSTCNT (number of hosts)
ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage oversubscribed capacity)
ST_POOL_DEV_COUNT (number of storage pools)
ST_POOL_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage pool subscribed capacity)
ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY (storage subscribed capacity)

Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application
6 Click Save

28Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
STOHOST BYHOST_ALLOCATED (allocated space by host)
BYHOST_SIZE (by host physical size)
Fine-tuning entities management
ETL Services manages data in two successive phases the collect and the loading Administrators cancombine these tasks in order to adapt the amount of data to process with the workload that theirsystem can handle This typically depends on the database capacity and the server performance
VolumesMonitoring
ImportEntities
Result
No (enabled) Checked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are saved in the database processed andloaded in the console
Use this configuration if your system is powerful enough to manage all thevolumes to monitor
No (enabled) Unchecked All volumes are discovered and their metrics are collected and processed
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if you wish to collect and process volume-relatedmetrics without loading this information in the console The collected datawill however be used to calculate metrics for other sources when requiredThis will reduce the resource consumption of your system
Yes (disabled) NA Volumes are not discovered
Volumes-related metrics are not loaded in the console
Use this configuration if the number of volumes to manage significantlyslows down the system performance Disabling the volumes monitoringprevents the discovery of any volumes and consequently do not allow theETL to collect save or process their data Note that the calculation ofmetrics for other sources may be impacted (see reference guide)
29Customizing Volumes Monitoring
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Enabling volumes monitoring
Enabling the monitoring of volumes resumes the discovery of all volumes Thus volumes capacity andperformance metrics are properly collected According to the number of volume to monitor the systemresource consumption may be significantly impacted
To enable the monitoring of volumes
1 Edit the EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization Run Configuration
2 Expand the Run Configuration menu to verify that the STOGLB STOHOST and OBJREL datasetsare selected
3 Expand the ETL additional settings menu
Enabling Volum es Monitoring
4 From the Disable Volumes Monitoring pull-down list select No
5 Check the Volume box to make the volume entity appear in the Domain tree
Please note that creating entities for additional object classes may have a deep impact on theperformance of the application
6 Click Save
30Setting the Collect Frequency
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC Capacity Optimization
Version 40
Setting the Collect Frequency
