11. Repeat step 5 to add additional storage servers and then click Return to Policies.

NOTE:

The maximum CPG size supported when region data sampling is enabled for Adaptive

Optimization is 250 TB. The maximum Adaptive Optimization configuration size is limited to
125 TB.

NOTE:

System Reporter prompts you to save the certificate only if you select the Use SSL option while
adding Inserv.

While adding Inserv, System Reporter prompts you to save the certificate for each array that
has HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3, 3.1.2 MU3 P16, 3.1.1 MU3 P27, or 2.3.1 MU5 P35 patches.

Removing InServ from System Reporter does not remove the certificate for the corresponding
Inserv.

System Reporter prompts you to save certificates for the storage systems that do not have
enhancement patches 3.1.2 MU3 P16, 3.1.1 MU3 P27, or 2.3.1 MU5 P35. However, when
you add a storage system without these enhancement patches, you are prompted to save the
certificate only for the first time.

Setting File Permissions (Optional)

Set file permissions as desired for the password and configuration files created during installation.
See

“About File Permissions” (page 128)

for additional information.

Verifying Installation

Perform the following steps to verify that the System Reporter tools were installed correctly and that
systems are being sampled successfully:
1.

Wait several minutes after adding the last storage server (for SQLite configurations).

2.

Look at the sampleloop.log file. On Windows this is in the log subdirectory in the directory
where System Reporter is installed (C:\Program Files\3par\System Reporter\log\
sampleloop.log)

. On Linux, open /var/log/sampleloop.log.

3.

At the bottom of the log file, for each system to be sampled, look for an entry similar to the
following:

2009-04-29 10:16:15: Adding system inserv1 into system table2009-04-29 10:16:21:

Sample inserted (1 systems) (time=2009-04-29 10:14:53) (hires, space=0) (9 secs)

You can now return to the HP 3PAR System Reporter window and execute database queries
using a Web browser.

NOTE:

For performance type reports, at first you may only be able to see high resolution

performance information. For space type reports, it may take more than 30 minutes before
you can sample high resolution data. Daily and hourly data samples may take even longer.

Installing the Excel Client (Optional)

If you plan to use the HP 3PAR System Reporter Excel client to access the HP 3PAR System Reporter
database, you must install the Excel client on a local machine as described in this section.

NOTE:

Use of the HP 3PAR System Reporter Excel client requires that you have Microsoft Excel

2003 or 2007 software already installed on your local machine. For additional details, see

“System

Requirements” (page 24)
