◆A separate inservsample process is created for each InServ system being sampled. This process in turn creates a separate CLI process that runs the sampler script which logs into the array and collects the required data. The inservsample process then inserts the data into the database. Along with the tables that contain the space and performance data, the database also includes inventory tables that allow quicker creation of report menus. The inservsample process also update the inventory tables.
◆For MySQL and Oracle databases, the sampleloop service/daemon creates separate process to maintain the database (since SQLite supports limited concurrency, these functions are performed by the sampleloop process). These include:
◆The trimdb process removes samples that are older than the sample retention period specified in the sampling policies (see 7.2 Configuring Sampling Policies on
◆The dedupinv process removes duplicate entries from the inventory tables.
◆The compactdb process periodically compacts and optimizes the database when necessary.
■Adaptive Optimization components. The sampleloop process also creates a regionmover process for each InServ array for which Adaptive Optimization is configured (see 9.2 Selecting an InServ for Adaptive Optimization on page 9.3). Each regionmover process analyzes region level performance data for each Adaptive Optimization configuration and generates region moves between tiers. The regionmover process creates a separate CLI process that logs into the array and executes the mvrg program that executes the data movement commands on the array.
■Web server components. The 3PAR System Reporter Web server has customized scripts that access the database to generate reports to standard browsers as clients, enabling users to access the reports and configure System Reporter without installing any additional software.
■Excel client. The customized 3PAR System Reporter Excel client has
