Introduction

HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage is a family of flash-optimized storage systems that offer automated provisioning. This offers an advanced storage solution that uses a multi-tenant ability that distributes the load dynamically depending on the requirements set by each tenant. In addition, this single tier-1 storage system architecture is designed for in-built data security and availability.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage regulates and manages itself. The rate at which the storage resources are consumed is constantly monitored. Compaction technologies such as thin provisioning, thin deduplication, and thin reclamation are incorporated and fully automated in HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems. Thin provisioning allows a volume to be created and made available as a Logical Unit Number (LUN) to a host without the need to dedicate physical storage until it is actually needed.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems include hardware components that physically store your data and software applications that manage your data.

The HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage system is composed of the following logical data layers:

  • Physical Disk (PD)
  • Chunklet
  • Logical Disk (LD)
  • Common Provisioning Group (CPG)
  • Virtual Volume (VV)

Prerequisites

  • OpsRamp Classic Gateway 14.0.0 and above.
  • OpsRamp Nextgen Gateway 14.0.0 and above.
    Note: OpsRamp recommends using the latest Gateway version for full coverage of recent bug fixes, enhancements, etc..
  • Make sure the WSAPI Server State is ‘Active’ on HPE 3PAR. You may use the following commands to confirm the same:
    • CLI Command to view WSAPI Server Configuration is showwsapi - d
    • CLI Command to start the WSAPI Server is startwsapi
  • Provided IpAddress/hostname, credentials should work for both WS APIs and SSH communication.

Default Monitoring Configurations

HPE 3PAR has default Global Device Management Policies, Global Templates, Global Monitors and Global Metrics in OpsRamp. You can customize these default monitoring configurations as per your business use cases by cloning respective Global Templates and Global Device Management Policies. We recommend doing this activity before installing the application to avoid noise alerts and data.

  1. Default Global Device Management Policies

    You can find the Device Management Policy for each Native Type at Setup > Resources > Device Management Policies. Search with suggested name in global scope. Each Device Management Policy follows below naming convention:

    {appName nativeType - version}

    Ex: hpe-3par HPE-3PAR Storage System - 1 (i.e, appName = hpe-3par, nativeType = HPE-3PAR Storage System, version = 1)

  2. Default Global Templates

    You can find the Global Templates for each Native Type at Setup > Monitoring > Templates. Search with suggested names in global scope. Each template follows below naming convention:

    {appName nativeType 'Template' - version}

    Ex: hpe-3par HPE-3PAR Storage System Template - 1 (i.e, appName = hpe-3par, nativeType = HPE-3PAR Storage System, version = 1)

  3. Default Global Monitors

    You can find the Global Monitors for each Native Type at Setup > Monitoring > Monitors. Search with suggested name in global scope. Each Monitors follows below naming convention:

    {monitorKey appName nativeType - version}

    Ex: HPE-3PAR Storage System Monitor hpe-3par HPE-3PAR Storage System 1(i.e, monitorKey = HPE-3PAR Storage System Monitor, appName = hpe-3par, nativeType = HPE-3PAR Storage System, version = 1)

Risks, Limitations & Assumptions

  • Application can handle Critical/Recovery failure notifications for below two cases when user enables App Failure Notifications in configuration:
    • Connectivity Exception
    • Authentication Exception
  • Application uses the provided IpAddress/hostname, credentials for both WSAPIs and SSH communications.
  • Latest snapshot metric is available from Gateway version 14.0.0.
  • Application will send any duplicate/repeat failure alert notification for every 6 hours.
  • Application cannot control monitoring pause/resume actions based on above alerts.
  • Metrics can be used to monitor HPE 3PAR resources and generate alerts based on the threshold values.
  • OpsRamp referred to HPE Support developer guide to implement discovery, monitoring and alerts polling of HPE 3PAR. Given that support to show disk information was added in WSAPI 1.6.15 release, OpsRamp uses Physical disk statistical data reports API when the WSAPI version is less than 1.6.15. For version greater than or equals to 1.6.15, OpsRamp uses Querying physical disk information API to get data.
    Note: Currently, there is no reference of Fan Speed, Temperature, Power related metrics within the developer guide.
  • As few of the HPE 3PAR components didn’t have direct name information in WSAPI responses, OpsRamp proceeded with below assumptions :
    • For Physical Disk Discovery, OpsRamp considered Physical disk ID (if WSAPI version is less than 1.6.15) OR WWN (if WSAPI version is greater than or equals to 1.6.15) as Resource Name in OpsRamp.
    • For Ports Discovery, OpsRamp considered portWWN (Port WWN presents for FCoE and FC ports only) OR port portPos (when portWWN was not present in response) as Resource Name in OpsRamp.
    • For VLUN Discovery, OpsRamp considered lun value as Resource Name in OpsRamp.
  • HPE 3PAR’s Event/Alert Polling starts only if the user enables Event/Alert Polling in configuration.
  • Possible values of Event/Alert Severity Filter configuration property are FATAL, CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR, DEGRADED, INFORMATIONAL, DEBUG, UNKNOWN.
  • Possible values of Event Category configuration property are 1,2. Category 1 is used to identify a lifecycle event and 2 is used to identify an alert.
  • OpsRamp has given sample mappings to map HPE 3PAR Severity with OpsRamp Severities as part of the Event/Alert Severity Mapping configuration file. Users can modify them as per their use-case at any point of time from the application configuration page. Possible OpsRamp Severities are Critical, Warning, Ok, Info.
  • In referred HPE 3PAR developer guides, there is no information about how logged system events are getting resolved, hence OpsRamp has not included polled events/alerts recovery mechanism.
  • Support for Macro replacement for threshold breach alerts (i.e, customisation for threshold breach alert’s subject, description).
  • No support of showing activity log and applied time.
  • Application is not compatible with Cluster Gateway.
  • This application supports both Classic Gateway and NextGen Gateway
