Monitoring with the KM

Monitoring your IBM storage environment with IBM DS3000, DS4000, DS5000 Series KM for PATROL is very simple. Once the KM is properly installed, as per the instructions given in the Installation Guide, the KM automatically detects the various IBM storage devices and components of your storage environment and displays them in the PATROL interface.

This chapter provides various use cases that cover the basic operations a SAN administrator may be required to perform to obtain a complete and detailed picture of the IBM storage environment typically installed in a data center.

For detailed information about the performance metrics and usage statistics that are detected on each system, please see the Classes and Parameters section in the Reference Guide.
