A9000 - Wrong Capacity

fmacor

Hi,

capacity report for A9000 is wrong, we have two storage, each with 56TB installed. Is this a bug or something that could be fixed?
I'm running v2.4

Thank you

Pavel

hi,

yep we know about it already for some time.

What you see is some storage HW limit == hard capacity (1.2PB).

We are investigate it ... we will let you know.

Pavel

Hi,

Do you have somewhere installed A9000 XCLI package (/opt/ibm/XIVGUI/xcli) ?

This would help us in this capoacity issue.

We do not neeed it for monitoring but it might be installed somewhere by your A9000 admins.

If so, then get below script, gunzip it and edit it.

Modify there user credentials on the top of the script:

xport XIV_XCLIUSER="lpar2rrd"
export XIV_XCLIPASSWORD="password"

http://www.stor2rrd.com/download/xiv_getcfg.sh.gz

run: sh ./xiv_getcfg.sh <hostanme/IP of A9000>

Thanks.

Pavel

send us output of above script either via email or via https://upload.stor2rrd.com

Fix for A9000 capacity issue, install it on the top of 2.40 version.

It also fixes host graphs which were empty.

Download the patch file, untar it and install as the owner of STOR2RRD installation:

Download link: http://download.stor2rrd.com/patch/stor2rrd-2.40-03.tar

 

su - lpar2rrd

tar xvf stor2rrd-2.40-03.tar

cd stor2rrd-2.40-03

./install.sh

 

cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd

./load.sh

 

refresh the GUI when it finishes (Ctrl-F5)

 

 

let it work for 1h+, then you should see proper capacity and host graphs.

I am using version 2.52 and still having the same space reporting problem. Is there any patch for it or can I use the same patch for 2.5.2 

Thanks!

Pavel

no, do not use that patch, it is already included in 2.52

send us logs and name of the storage

cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd # or where is your STOR2RRD working dir
tar cvhf logs.tar logs tmp/*txt
gzip -9 logs.tar

Send us logs.tar.gz via https://upload.stor2rrd.com

khhung

I have uploaded the logs.tar.gz.

Thank you!

khhung

Pavel.. are you able to take a look the logs?

Pavel

not yet unfortunatelly, it takes a few weeks yet, our XIV developer is an external one, quite bussy with other stuff now

khhung

okay, not a problem... thanks for the update!

khhung

Pavel.. it has been a while.. are you able to determine the wrong capacity? I am currently on version 2.61. 

Pavel

Hi,

no way, A9k does no provide right capacity through API we use (SMI-S), it is all I can say.

XIV provides it correctly, however not A9k. we cannot do anything ...

khhung

Pavel,

Do you think the wrong capacity related to what I see from the GUI?

⦁ Under the GUI connection test... the Machine name and etc are missing. 
⦁ A9000 never listed in the Health Status. 

Pavel

Hi,

- it is not related. A9k simple pdoe snot provides number whcih can be seen through its UI.

- XIV/A9K do not provide health status through API we use (SMI-S), we could consider SNMP for such purpose

khhung

okay, thank you!
