Hitachi Device Manager ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
New supported platform | The ETL now supports Hitachi VSP Gxxxx Series. |
Troubleshooting tool | A troubleshooting tool is now available to test the connection to the Hitachi Device Manager. |
Performance | The ST_SIZE metric computation algorithm has been improved to reduce workload. |
WBEM results persistence | The mechanism used for WBEM results temporary persistence has been improved. |
HP 3PAR ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
Troubleshooting tool | A troubleshooting tool is now available to test the connection to the HP 3PAR SMI-S provider. |
WBEM results persistence | The mechanism used for WBEM results temporary persistence has been improved. |
IBM SVC-Storwize ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
New ETL | This new ETL was developed for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization v10.5 to collect capacity information about IBM SVC and IBM Storwize systems. |
IBM XiV ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
Troubleshooting tool | A troubleshooting tool is now available to test the connection to the IBM XiV Management Module. |
WBEM results persistence | The mechanism used for WBEM results temporary persistence has been improved. |
NetApp Data ONTAP ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
Troubleshooting tool | A troubleshooting tool is now available to test the connection to the NetApp Data ONTAP API. |
NetApp Data ONTAP Mode selection | The ETL automatically determines the NetApp Data ONTAP Mode (7-Mode or Cluster-Mode). |
Metrics | The BYDISK_TYPE metric is now available for Disks/Cluster Disks. |
NetApp capability | The api-snapshot-volume-info capability is required to collect the ST_VOLUME_SNAPSHOT_RESERVE_USED and ST_VOLUME_SNAPSHOT_RESERVE_USED_PCT metrics. |
Storage Capacity Views and Reports for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
Supported Platforms | Storage Capacity Views and Reports for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization supports IBM SVC-Storwize. |
Reports | Storage Capacity Views and Reports for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization comes with basic reports templates (Storage Allocation, Storage Pool Overview, and Storage Systems Overview). |
Storage pools | Storage pools with a capacity of zero are now considered as not available (dash ‘-’ value) instead of ‘Saturated’. |
Saturation and oversubscription risks | The computation method for the Saturation Risk and Oversubscription Risk has been improved. It is now based on the consumed capacity observed for the last 30 days. |

Dell Compellent Enterprise Manager ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
Relations | The relations between Storage Volume and Storage Pool are now properly discovered. |
Connection failures | Connection failed when the hostname contained a white space. |
Error messages | When some information about the connection was missing, an improper error message was logged preventing the real cause to be identified. |
EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
Data gap | The data gap that occurred after the discovery for the Disk Utilization Percentage (BYDISK_UTIL) and the Disk Response Time (BYDISK_RESPONSE_TIME) metrics (CLARiiON and VNX physical disks only) has been fixed. Metrics are now properly collected. |
Relations | The relations between Storage Volume and Storage Pool are now properly discovered. |
Connection failures | Connection failed when the hostname contained a white space. |
Error messages | When some information about the connection was missing, an improper error message was logged preventing the real cause to be identified. |
Errors | Authentication and authorization errors are better handled by the ETL. |
Hitachi Device Manager ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
Computation methods | The computation methods for the ST_CAPACITY, ST_AVAILABLE_FOR_STORAGE_POOLS, ST_AVAILABLE_CAPACITY, ST_OVERSUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY, and ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY_PCT metrics have been fixed. |
Connection failures | Connection failed when the hostname contained a white space. |
Error messages | When some information about the connection was missing, an improper error message was logged preventing the real cause to be identified. |
Errors | The CIM_ERR_FAILED error is now better handled by the ETL to prevent collection from being aborted. |
HP 3PAR ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
Connection failures | Connection failed when the hostname contained a white space. |
Error messages | When some information about the connection was missing, an improper error message was logged preventing the real cause to be identified. |
IBM XiV ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
Invalid values | The subscribed capacity of the storage pools could temporarily be incorrect when the ETL could not have collected the ST_VOLUME_MAPPED metric required for computation. |
Connection failures | Connection failed when the hostname contained a white space. |
Error messages | When some information about the connection was missing, an improper error message was logged preventing the real cause to be identified. |
NetApp Data ONTAP ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
Connection failures | Connection failed when the hostname contained a white space. |
Error messages | When some information about the connection was missing, an improper error message was logged preventing the real cause to be identified. |
Error messages | When users did not have the rights required to request the NetApp API, an improper error message was logged preventing the real cause to be identified. |

Hitachi Device Manager ETL for BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization | |
Collected values | The values of the metrics ST_VOLUME_CONSUMED_CAPACITY, ST_VOLUME_CONSUMED_CAPACITY_PCT, ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY (Array only), and ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY_PCT (Array only) are not accurate for Hitachi VSP Gxxxx Series storage systems due to a bug identified on the Hitachi API. This issue should be fixed in SVOS 6.4.0 microcode (83-03-00+) to be released by Hitachi in February 2016. |
Collect issues | Collect issues may occur if Hitachi VSP Gxxxx Series storage systems have been previously attached to a different SMI-S provider for other purposes such as provisioning. To solve this collect issue, you will have to upgrade your version of Hitachi Device Manager to version 8.2.0.-03. |
