#11 * * * * F=/usr/local/megha/cron.24hr; test -f $F && bash $F
#*/5 * * * * F=/usr/local/megha/bin/sysstat.sh; test -f $F && (bash $F >> /usr/local/megha/logs/sys/`date +\%Y\%m\%d`.log)

3)      Run the following commands to stop the kafka service and confirm it is stopped:

/usr/local/megha/bin/manage-kafka.sh stop
ps -f -g megha | grep kafka

If the second command displays no output, the service has stopped.

4)      Run the following commands to stop the redis service and confirm it is stopped:
/usr/local/megha/bin/manage-redis.sh stop_All
ps -f -g megha | grep redis

5)      Run the following commands to stop the httpProxy service and confirm it has stopped:
/usr/local/httpProxy/bin/megha-jetty.sh stop
ps -f -g megha | grep httpProxy

6)      Run the following command to obtain the PID (process ID) of the jetty service:
ps -f | head -n 1; ps -f -g megha | grep start.jar | grep /usr/local/megha

7)      Use the reported PID with the following command to stop the jetty process:

kill <PID>

8)      Repeat the command in step 6 to confirm that the jetty process is stopped.

9)      Run the following command to confirm that no Ops Center Analyzer detail view server process is running:

ps -f | head -n 1; ps -f -g megha | grep megha

10)   If the process exists, run the following command to stop it:
kill <PID>

11)   Repeat the command in step 9 to confirm the process has stopped.

12)   Run the following commands to start the Ops Center Analyzer detail view server service and confirm it has started:
/usr/local/megha/bin/megha-jetty.sh start
/usr/local/megha/bin/megha-jetty.sh status

13)   Run the following commands and confirm that the two reported PIDs match:
ps -f | head -n 1; ps -ef | grep start.jar | grep /usr/local/megha
cat /usr/local/megha/misc/jetty.pid
For example:

# ps -f | head -n 1; ps -ef | grep start.jar | grep /usr/local/megha
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
megha     2271     1 15 13:37 ?        01:15:38 java -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=20 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=20 -Xmx15534m -jar start.jar -Dapp.home=/usr/local/megha
# cat /usr/local/megha/misc/jetty.pid
2271

14)   Run this command again and delete the hash marks (#) from the beginning of each line that you added earlier:
crontab -e

Usage notes

Analyzer server

·         In the E2E View, the relationship between Linux hosts and Brocade FC switches might not be displayed.

·         If a Linux server is running as a virtual machine on a hypervisor and connected to storage/switches using a virtual HBA adapter, then the topology relation is not displayed in the "Other Servers" window.

·         Monitoring NDM and GAD volumes is available only when the RAID Agent access type is set as 1 or 2.

·         For Predictive Analytics, the Profile Settings default parameters in Advanced Settings were updated to cover a wide range of data behavior, including spiky data that reports a high value in a short time. This change is not applied to the built-in profile.

·         You may observe the following if the Brocade Network Advisor version is earlier than 14.2.0:

o    The Received and Transferred (Mb/second) data for the switch port might be swapped.

o    Some switch information might not be displayed in the E2E view of Ops Center Analyzer.

·         The Cisco DCNM switch shows the wrong details for CPU and Memory Utilization because incorrect values are reported by the Cisco API.

·         The I/O Control setting value is set to the volume-host paths instead of the volumes. If a volume has multiple paths, the value displayed on the Ops Center Analyzer and Ops Center Analyzer detail view GUI might be multiplied by the number of active paths.

·         When you delete a monitoring target from the Analyzer probe server, restart the Ops Center Analyzer server after 24 hours. If you fail to do so, the server does not show the most up-to-date resource status.

·         The host name must resolve to the IP address on the Ops Center Analyzer server and the host running the browser. Also, to integrate Ops Center Analyzer with Automator, the host name of the Automator server must resolve to the IP address on the Automator server and the host running the browser.

·         Mainframe volume information is displayed in the Analyzer UI by specifying Y for Mainframe Volume Monitoring in the instance setting of the RAID Agent.

Analyzer detail view or Analyzer probe server

·         If Command Device Authentication is set as false on a command device and the Hitachi Enterprise Storage probe uses the Hitachi API Configuration Manager (CM REST API) data collection option,  the probe collects data only for resources that are present in a meta-resource group for the VSP 5000 series storage model. Ops Center Analyzer detail view cannot verify this setting due to a CM REST API limitation.

·         The Cisco DCNM switch shows the wrong details for CPU and Memory Utilization because incorrect values are reported by the Cisco API.

·         Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) probe and all references to it was removed from Ops Center Analyzer detail view 10.0.0-00.

·         If you are using the Hitachi Device Manager probe (HDvM probe), use the following procedure to change the probe that monitors the storage system:

1)      Log in to the Analyzer probe server UI.

2)      Stop and delete, the Hitachi Device Manager probe as follows:

a) In the Status window, go to Action and click Stop for the corresponding
Hitachi Device Manager probe.

b)  After stopping the probe, select Action and click Delete.

c)  Repeat these steps for all Hitachi Device Manager probes.

3)      Add the Hitachi Device Manager probe as a part of the Hitachi Enterprise Storage probe as follows:

a) In the Status window, go to Action and click Stop for the corresponding Hitachi Enterprise Storage probe.

b) After stopping the probe, go to Action and click Edit for the corresponding Hitachi Enterprise Storage probe.

c) In the Edit window, select the Use Hitachi Device Manager checkbox.

d) Enter the required information, click Next, and follow the wizard to save the changes.

e) In the Status window, go to Action and click Start for the corresponding Hitachi Enterprise Storage probe.

f) Repeat these steps for each Hitachi Enterprise Storage probe.

Note: The HDVM probe can be added in the Analyzer probe server by selecting Add Probe > Select Probe Type > Hitachi Device Manager.

·         Active Directory group users cannot log in to the Ops Center Analyzer detail view server or Analyzer probe server using the domain\username format. You must use user@domain instead.

·         After upgrading to the Analyzer probe server and Analyzer detail view server, sometimes the UI is distorted. To view the UI, refresh the browser cache. For example, press Ctrl+F5 for Windows or press command+R for Mac to refresh the browser cache.

·         If you are accessing the Analyzer detail view through a supported Internet Explorer version, when you expand a node in resource tree, the UI shows a + icon instead of a - icon on the node. If you want to collapse the node, click the + icon again. Similarly, when you collapse a node, the UI shows the - icon instead of the + icon. If you want to expand the node, click the - icon again.

·         The Ops Center Analyzer detail view server and Analyzer probe server UI is not displayed correctly in Internet Explorer 10 or 11 compatibility mode. If this happens, disable compatibility mode for the server URL in Internet Explorer.

·         If the Ops Center Analyzer detail view server is installed on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x or Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.x, the export features (such as Export Reports) do not function as expected due to a font incompatibility. To resolve this, you must update the following packages:

o    xorg-x11-font-utils: v7.5-21 or later

o    fontconfig: v2.13.0-4.3 or later

·         In Ops Center Analyzer detail view server versions before v9.0.0-01, only the IP address was collected when using the ifconfig command. From v9.0.0-01 onwards, the subnet is also collected if the ip a command is supported on the Linux targets. This change history (IP address to IP address and subnet) is available in Ops Center Analyzer detail view.

·         Enterprise Virtual Servers (EVSs) of Hitachi NAS storage system are assigned to nodes and displayed in the Ops Center Analyzer detail view server navigation tree under Storage Systems > Hitachi > HNAS > HNAS storage system instance > Nodes > Node instance > EVSs. If an EVS is subsequently assigned to a different node, it is displayed under the current and previous nodes. To view the EVSs that are currently assigned to a node, refer to the EVS Summary report available on the EVSs node.

·         If you upgrade from the Ops Center Analyzer detail view version earlier than 9.2.0-00 and the following message is displayed for an existing Hitachi NAS probe, make sure that you edit the Hitachi NAS probe to provide the REST API server details:

HNSE1B77A715: Data collection has stopped. Edit probe and enter REST API server details.

·         In the Ops Center Analyzer detail view server backup and restore facility, the -r parameter, which took the raw data backup in a separate zip file, was removed from v9.3.0-00. Now, the raw data is backed up with the regular data backup. This enables you to back up all the data in one zip file.

·         Hitachi NAS REST API does not return the expected output if the Hitachi NAS storage system firmware version is 13.3.4633.02. Therefore, the Hitachi NAS probe cannot collect configuration data.

·         When managing and monitoring Hitachi NAS systems, all models in a series are considered functionally equivalent. This means that Ops Center Analyzer supports the following HNAS models:

o    HNAS 3090 and 3080

o    HNAS 4080, 4060, 4040, and 4100

o    VSP G800, G600, G400, F800, F600, and F800

o    N Series N400, N600, and N800

Because storage systems in the VSP N series are equivalent to those in the VSP F series or VSP G series, Ops Center Analyzer uses the VSP F series or the VSP G series storage model names to indicate storage system models in the VSP N series.  The following table lists each model in the VSP N series and the corresponding model in the VSP F series or in the VSP G series.

Storage system model in the VSP N series

VSP F400 or VSP G400

VSP N600

VSP F600 or VSP G600

VSP N800

Analyzer viewpoint

·         When you log in or launch viewpoint with a user account for which an email address has not been set, the error message "login.OAuthLogin(get info from generic_oauth)" occurs.

·         After upgrading viewpoint from an OVF for which a port number was changed with the changeportnumber command, you must edit the firewall setting again.

·         When you click Access product-level roles for Analyzer viewpoint in the Ops Center Portal, the Global Overview is displayed. To assign roles to users, click Configuration > Users, and select a Role to assign to the user.

·         When you delete the viewpoint product from the Ops Center Common Portal, KAOP20060-W message is displayed, but the deletion is successful.

·         If you run the  setupcommonservice command to register Analyzer viewpoint in an instance of Ops Center Common Services that has managed Analyzer viewpoint before, the command might fail with a 409 error. If the error occurs, delete the old Analyzer viewpoint information from the Ops Center Common Services product screen, and then try again.

Changing the port number of Analyzer viewpoint

You must have root privilege to complete this procedure.

1)      To change the port number, use the following command:

/opt/hitachi/analyzer_viewpoint/bin/changeportnumber port-number

2)      Set the property value as follows:

File:

/var/opt/hitachi/analyzer_viewpoint/etl/config/user.properties

Property:

oca.gi.license.access.port=port-number

(example: oca.gi.license.access.port=50000)

3)      After running this command, you must use the following URL to access Analyzer viewpoint:

https://host-name-or-IP-address-of-the-virtual-machine:port-number/

Note: If you are using the instance of Ops Center Common Services bundled with Analyzer viewpoint, this command also changes the port number of Ops Center Common Services. Run the setupcommonservice command for the products registered in Ops Center Common Services to set new port numbers. For details, see the documentation for each product.
