The DS8000 agents include deep capabilities for ‘at a glance’ graphical proactive storage performance, capacity and configuration views within Galileo IT Intelligence Dashboards.

Within the Galileo Suite, we are trying to make it easy to proactively monitor infrastructure such as IBM DS8000 storage arrays from an integrated management console,” says Tim Conley, principal and co-founder, Galileo and ATS Group. “This new Galileo IBM DS8000 agent allows storage administrators to obtain performance information, management, and monitoring for all DS8000 filers and storage solutions.

Avoiding downtime, improving performance, isolating configuration issues, and reducing problem resolution time are the key benefits for users of this Galileo agent. With the DS8000 agent, administrators can access configuration information-including volumes, ranks, array sites, LSSs, LCUs, and storage fiber ports – while At-a-Glance Virtual Group and Disk Usage analysis reporting lets administrators customize dashboard parameters, view disk usage, and trend capacity usage over time.

At-a-glance dashboards
The DS8000 storage array agent includes company’s IT Intelligence Dashboards which offer simple views and detailed drilldowns for underutilized Storage capacity, showing a global view of all volumes and how much capacity, in groups, might be reclaimable capacity. Users can customize their own personal DS8000 dashboard by date ranges selecting by system, volume, ranks, or array sites and then can group the charts that are most important.

Using the DS8000 agent they can:

  • Observe cluster resources to confirm proper load balancing

  • Monitor storage arrays by drilling deeper into every array component

  • Get visibility into logical user numbers (LUNs), fixed block and count key data volumes, physical HDDs, operational array status, aggregates, FC I/O ports on switches and arrays, and more.
