Enabling Performance Logging on the Storage System

To achieve this, login to the host on which the Navisphere CLI operates, and issue the following command at the command prompt:

naviseccli -h <array-ip> -scope 0 -user <name of user with access to storage system> -password <password of user with access to storage system> setstats -on

For instance, if the IP address of the storage array is 192.168.10.86, and the credentials of the user with rights to access the storage array are username: john and password: john, the command will be:

naviseccli -h 19.168.10.86 -scope 0 -user john -password john setstats -on

Alternatively, you can follow the steps detailed below to enable performance logging on the storage system:

1. From a web browser, connect to the storage array using the URL: http://<IP_address_of_storage_array>/

2. Figure 180 will then appear prompting you to login to the Navisphere Express Console. Provide the credentials of the SAN administrator against User name and Password, and click the Login button to login.

4. From the list of options provided in the left panel of Figure 181, select the Services option under the System head (as indicated by Figure 181).

5. A System Services page will then appear in the right panel (see Figure 182). Click on the Diagnostic Files button in Figure 182.

8. You can configure how frequently data logging should occur and also indicate when it should stop using the Polling interval and Stop Logging in controls (respectively) in Figure 186 that appears. Then, click the Start Logging button in Figure 186 to begin data logging.
