Fujitsu ETERNUS DX/AF monitoring

XorMon NG uses Fujitsu ETERNUS CLI interface natively provided by the storage to get all necessary data (ssh access).
Supported are Fujitsu ETERNUS DX S3 and all newers models.
Monitoring of Fujitsu ETERNUS Unified file data is not implemented yet.

Storage connectivity

  • Allow access from the XorMon NG host to the Fujitsu ETERNUS storage both MNT interfaces on port 22 (SSH) through your network.

  • Create user xormon on the storage with monitor role.
    Decide yourself if you use user/pasword or ssh key access methond.
    (example uses 'stor2rrd' user but use 'xormon' preferably) System ➡ User Setting ➡ Setup User Account ➡ Add
    Fujitsu ETERNUS monitoring setup user add

  • Newer storage firmwares use this path for ssh key insertion:
    Configuration ➡ System ➡ Security ➡ Local Access ➡ select a user ➡ add ssh key

    Fujitsu ETERNUS monitoring setup ssh

  • Make sure that performance monitoring collection is enabled on the storage and historical collection is set to 300 secs.
    It must be set to 300 seconds to work correctly!
    System ➡ Utility ➡ Start/Stop Perfmon ➡ Select 300 ➡ Apply

    Note: this setting is reset (disabled) after each storage reboot at least with firmware release we have tested it.
    It means that you have to enable performance monitoring and set interval after each storage reboot.

XorMon NG storage configuration

  • Add storage into configuration from the UI:
    Settings icon ➡ Device ➡ Storage ➡ New ➡ Vendor:device ➡ Fujitsu ETERNUS
    Fujitsu ETERNUS AF/DX storage monitoring

  • Run "Test" for configured storage device, it must show "OK"

  • Wait about 1 hour, then reload the web browser, you should see it in XorMon NG UI
