Whats New

•SENEMC-1984: EMC VMAX3 Storage Systems Monitoring: EMC Disk Arrays KM now fully supports the monitoring of EMC VMAX3 storage systems. EMC VMAX3 storage resource pools health and performance are monitored through the new SEN_EMC_STORAGERESOURCEPOOL application class that reports on storage capacity and performance. A report can also be generated and configured from the array (KM Command > Reporting > Storage Resource Pools Activity...) or from the Storage Resource Pool instance (KM Command > Storage Resource Pools Activity...).
•SENEMC-1996: The MetaEntityType infobox parameter has been added on the SEN_EMC_ARRAY application class to report on the system model (Storage.EMC-VMAX or Storage.EMC-VNX). This parameter is updated upon each discovery cycle.

Changes and Improvements

•SENEMC-2004: In order to optimize the discovery and data collect duration, EMC Disk Arrays KM no longer discovers EMC VMAX/Symmetrix Remote Arrays by default. However, a configuration variable (discoverRemoteArrays) is now available to enable this feature as needed.
•SENEMC-1978 : EMC Disk Arrays KM requires Java 1.8.00 or higher to perform properly.
•SENEMC-1978: Changes have been implemented to enhance the performance and behavior of the Collection Hub:
▪A new configuration variable (collectionHubAdditionalArgs) is now available to add arguments to the command line when launching the Java Collection Hub via the Java settings KM Command.
▪EMC Disk Arrays KM now uses its exclusive Collection Hub instance and files are no longer shared with other KMs to prevent compatibilities issues.
▪The Collection Hub debug files provide more detailed information about its operations.
•SENEMC-1978: The overall performance of remote Windows commands analysis has been significantly improved.
•SENEMC-1984: The Speed parameter (SEN_EMC_FCPORT) has been modified to leverage the data provided by EMC Unisphere. The parameter now reports on the port negotiated speed to provide a significantly more accurate metric.

Fixed Issues

•SENEMC-1978: The Collection Hub now supports a larger amount of simultaneous requests timeouts.
•SENEMC-1984: The list of volumes accessible through an FC port is now properly collected and reported by the Volumes parameter of the SEN_EMC_FCPORT application class.
•SENEMC-2034: Each host mapped to a LUN is now properly reported by the LUNs Mapping Table.
