    Monitor for Dell MD3000i
    Description:

    This is an active script performance monitor that will let you trend;

    • Total IOs*
    • Read Percentage
    • Cache Hit Percentage
    • Current KB/second
    • Maximum KB/second*
    • Current IO/second
    • Maximum IO/second*

    from your MD3000i.  Warning: This is a little more involved than most performance monitors, and relies on additional software (from Dell), so don't just slap the script below in an hit run, it won't work.  Really.  *These are not setup by default, we will let WUG create that data from the polling values.

    First, you will need to install the "Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager" on your WahtsUp Gold server.  This will be on a disk that came with the MD3000i, or you can download it from Dell support.  We are looking specificly for the "Modular Disk Storage Manager Client".  We will be using the CLI (Command Line Interface) aspects of that application to expose the data.

    Second, the script below has multiple values it can monitor, but only one can be selected at a time.  Just copy and comment out the active part, and then un-comment the values you want to trend.

    Third, search the code for the followng an replace them with your values;

    1. **WUGSERVER**
    2. **SANNAME**

    And create the following directory on your WUG server;

    1. C:\MD3000i_PerfMons

    Fourth, build the monitor in WUG. Run it and see what happens.  There is some basic error handling for old files, and no files, etc. so be sure to check the error report if something looks wonky, or you are getting no data.

    -Enjoy!
