IBM SVC / StorWize / V7000 Scripts (complete package)

[Infortel]

I'm not getting any graphs at all.
Cacti 8.8a.
It seems that the rrd's are not created.
With the verbose query I get the output for the creation of the rrd, running the query manual works.
But no data gets updated.
someone a clue?

I'm having the same issues. The SVC script is producing data in the iostats folder with the 2 nodes, however I'm not seeing any graphs. If you run the scripts manually and pass the parameters to them, they pull data.

It just doesn't appear that the script creates the initial graphs for some reason. Has anyone been able to figure out the cause? Same version of Cacti - v0.8.8a. Nothing at all is written in the logs.

I'm currently running 0.8.8a and it is loading fine. I don't believe that I actually created graphs under this version. One thing that I did find is that spine goes from 30 seconds to almost 300 seconds when I'm running these V7000 scripts. I modified each device to use 6 threads instead of 1 and I'm currently monitoring that to see how it performs. I may have to re-write this so that it uses SNMP instead of these scripts. Ugh.... IBM doesn't make it easy.

Is the only problem you are having the initial creation of the RRD files?

One of the things that I have done is turn off host down detection (Downed Device Detection set to None). Also, remember that the V7000 is really two nodes and each is treated as a separate device. You need to create two devices that point to the directories that contain the performance files. The hostname becomes the subfolder in the /svcmon/iostats folder.

One more thing that found. if your graphs are not being created, and especially if your RRD files are not being created, verify that the SNMP setting is turned off on the device.

Devices -> $DEVICE -> SNMP Options: SNMP Version = "Not in use"

If this is set to anything else, the RRD files and graphs will not be produced.

Anyone managed to install these successfully ?

svcmon seems not to be developed anymore.
