VPLEX - data reported with shifted time

blautwein

Hi,
I just added two VPLEX units into STOR2RRD and recognized that the time of the reported data is shifted by two hours. The time zone settings on the VPLEX units and the STOR2RRD appliance are both fine.
This looks for me like the issue with Huawei OceanStore that has been fixed in 2.31-1. Any idea how to solve this for VPLEX?
Thanks and kind regards,
Ben

Hi,

cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd # or where is your STOR2RRD working dir
date
./bin/config_check.sh <VPLEX alias>

Hi,

cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd/data/<VPLEX alias>/iostats
cat director-1-1-A_VIRTUAL_VOLUMES_PERPETUAL_MONITOR.log | egrep "^2018-" | tail -1

Hi,
I just restarted the management service on the VPLEX unit. Now it's shown like this:

2018-08-08 08:14:27

Still the graph is not showing data for that time...

Karel

Hi,

it can take some time. Let us know after one hour, thanks.

blautwein
