OpStor Features
- Auto discovery: During the initial startup, OpStor issues broadcast
of well known OIDs on standard SNMP port and automatically discovers the storage
devices in the local network. OpStor does an extensive discovery of storage
networks / resources through a switch, through a HBA, and using device specific
algorithms.
- Visualization: The topological map shows the complete storage network
with the devices and their interconnections. The device icons and the links are
color coded to show their severity. Drill-down views show sub-maps and device
details.
- Fault management: Events are generated based on regular status
polling, traps, and notifications. Alarms are generated based on events and
their severity. Critical alarms are escalated to the administrators via email /
SMS, for quick action.
- Performance monitoring: OpStor continuosly monitors all the
performance parameteres and reports the device availability, utilization,
health, trends, etc. The reports can be stored as PDFs or printed out for
reference.
- Live graphs: SNMP based, non-intrusive, live performance data is
collected from switch ports and plotted. These graps help in troubleshooting at
port level.
- Inventory: OpStor keeps an inventory of all the device properties
up-to-date. User can also input some values like support information, etc. which
will stored in the database for easy reference. Any trouble tickets filed
against the devices is also recorded.
