3PAR System Reporter User’s Guide

■To re-configure sampling parameters for a storage server see section 7.3.4 Re-Configuring a Storage Server Sampling on page 7.8

7.3.1Adding a Storage Server

Refer to section 3.9.1 Adding InServ Systems on page 3.31 for instructions on how to add an InServ system to be sampled by System Reporter.

7.3.2 Verifying Addition of a Storage Server

To verify that a new storage server was successfully added to the system table refer to 3.9.1.2 Verifying Installation on page 3.32.

NOTE: For performance type reports, you may only be able to see high resolution performance information at first. For space type reports, it may take more than ten minutes before you can sample high resolution data. Daily and hourly data samples may take even longer.

7.3.3 Removing a Storage Server

You can remove a storage server from the list of systems being sampled by System Reporter as follows.

1Point your browser at the Web server where Apache HTTP Server and the 3PAR System Reporter Web server scripts are installed.

The 3PAR System Reporter main window appears.

2Click on Policy Settings in the Extras Menu area. The System Reporter Policies window appears.

3Choose the InServ Systems tab.

4Click Remove InServ.

5Choose the storage server from the drop-down list and then click Submit Query.

6An alert window appears confirming that the InServ server was removed.
