Dell PowerStore

Dell EMC PowerStore is designed to deliver the performance, availability, automation and agility that modern applications require, while reducing complexity across hybrid cloud deployments.

With VMware users in mind, PowerStore integrates seamlessly into VMware management frameworks to simplify storage management for administrators and increase overall efficiency.

OpsRamp integrates with Dell PowerStore through REST APIs.

Key features and benefits

  • Integrates with VMware management, improving administrator efficiency

  • Allows you to run virtualised applications co-resident with data, reducing latency

  • Optimised for the latest modern data storage technology (NVMe and SCM)

  • Linear scale-out and scale-up capability increases storage capacity and performance for VMware environments

  • Enables always inline data reduction (compression and deduplication), improving vVols storage footprint

Prerequisites

  • OpsRamp Classic Gateway 10.0 and above.

Risks, Limitations & Assumptions

  • Application can handle Critical/Recovery failure alert notifications for the below two cases when user enables Notification Alerts in configuration:
    • Connectivity Exception
    • Authentication Exception
  • Application will not send any duplicate/repeat failure alert notification until the already existing critical alert is recovered.
  • Application cannot control monitoring pause/resume actions based on the above alerts.
  • Component level threshold configuration is not possible.
  • Resource level metric threshold customization and frequency setting are not possible.
  • Usability issues in application configuration page while adding/editing.
  • Optional configuration parameters cannot be defined.
  • Appplication upgrade is manual process without version change.
  • The availability is shown unknown for few resources even if it is enabled on the respective resource metrics. This is because of the presence of multiple native type resources under the same resource type.
  • No support for Macro replacement for threshold breach alerts (i.e, customisation for threshold breach alert’s subject, description).
