Storage connectivity

  • Allow access from the XorMon NG host to the Huawei OceanStor / Dorado storage on ports 8088.

  • Create user xormon on the storage with read-only role.
    To activate the account you have to log in to the storage UI with xormon credentials and change password.

  • Make sure that performance monitoring collection is enabled on the storage and historical collection is set to 300 secs. It must be set to 300 seconds to work correctly!
    New storage firmwares have that at : Monitor ➡ SystemReporter ➡ (pop up window) ➡ System ➡ System Configuration ➡ Registration and Configuration ➡ Storage name ➡ Collection policy ➡ Historical monitoring

    Huawei OceanStor monitoring setup

    Some models do not allow such change from the storage UI, use storage CLI instead:
    admin:/>change performance statistic_enabled enabled=no
    admin:/>change performance strategy archive_time=300s
    admin:/>change performance statistic_enabled enabled=yes
    admin:/>show performance strategy
      Sampling Interval(s) : 5
      Archive Enabled      : Yes
      Archive Time(s)      : 300
      Auto Stop            : No
      Duration(days)       : --
