MANUAL INSTALLATION

Manual installation is based on the sourceforge storageim_betax_x.zip download. This downloaddoes not come with MySQL or a java basded web server such as Apache Tomcat. This distributionis used for Unix and Windows installations where Tomcat and or MySQL may already be installedor a manual configuration is necessary.

In order to install storageim, you will need to download and use the following1. Apache Web Server or JBOSS2. MySQL 5.0 or greater (Community or Enterprise)3. StorageIM release4. Java 1.5 or greaterhttp://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

MANUAL INSTALLATION STEPS

MySQL Installation and Configuration1. Download and install MySQL 5.0 or greater fromhttp://www.mysql.org/downloads/

a. Using the MySQL command line, create a new MySQL username=storageim andpassword=storageimi. Grant all on storageim.* to storageim@localhost identified by storageim;

b. Using the mysql command line client utility, perform the followingi. Mysql> source "DOWNLOAD_PATH\storageim.sql"

Apache Tomcat 6.x Installation and Configuration1. Download and install Apache Tomcat fromhttp://tomcat.apache.org/

a. Copy the storageim.war in the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directoryb. Start Apache Tomcat

UPGRADINGCurrently, there is no upgrade installer for StorageIM. If you need information on upgrading from a

previous version, send us an email, [email protected].

ADMINISTRATIONIn order for storageim to discover any hardware devices, SMI-S based providers must be installed

prior to storageim discovery. Check your vendor website for information regarding their SMI-S

provider implementation or visit SNIAs provider pages,

http://www.snia.org/forums/smi/tech_programs/ctp/conformingproviders/

CONFIGURING AN SMI-SAGENTBased on your hardware vendors provider documentation, you must provide authentication values

in order to establish a connection. Open a browser and go to storageim,

http://ipaddress:8080/storageim.

Click the Administration tab: Currently you should see no CIMOMs in the list. Click System

Config.

Add SMI-S Agent

Name: Arbitrary Name used to define the CIMOM/provider

Protocol: protocol configured on the CIMOM

IPAddress: CIMOM/Provider IP Address

Namespace: Location Where provider stores collected Hardware data

Username/Password: Credentials Used to authenticate against provider

Discovery Interval: The interval to discover a CIMOM/Provider

Data Retention: How long will storageim save the data collected

Once a CIMOM credentials are created, storageim will add the CIMOM to discovery.

Created CIMOM

MONITORING DATA

Based on the discovery interval that was set during the addition of a SMI-S Agent, StorageIM will

attempt a discovery. Currently, StorageIM supports SMI-S 1.1 for array, switch, HBA, VMWare ESX,

and partial iSCSI based devices.

TESTING AN SMI-SAGENT

StorageIM allows you to test SMI-S agents prior to adding them to the StorageIM configuration

STORAGEIMADMINISTRATIONStorageIM uses user authentication to login to the user interface. Currently there are two

authentication roles, basic and administrator. A basic user is allowed view privileges only. They

have no Administrator or Active Management Privileges. If a user is a non-administrator, the

administration and Active Management tabs will not be visible.

DATABASE

storageim uses MySQL as its relational database for storage of current and historic data.

SLP

Service Location Protocol provides the ability to advertise a vendors service if their provider is

configured to do so. StorageIM incorporated SLP discovery in order to discover a providers

existence before configuring. This allows a user to make sure that a provider is installed and

configured correctly. SLP discovery in StorageIM allows for both unicast and multicast discovery.

Unicast discovery is a manual process in which you must provide an IP Address or host name that

has a SLP server agent or directory agent installed. The multicast SLP discovery automatically

discovers SLP agents. You can also use the multicast Rediscover button to push a new multicastrediscovery.

The SLP Add button is used to copy over the SLP discovered attributes in a specific row for

configuring an SMI-S Agent. The SLP Add button will only carry over the protocol, IPAddress,

port, and chosen namespace. You will still have to provide a unique name, username, password,

discovery interval and data retention variables during configuration.
