ETL Modules Enhancements

The following ETL modules are now enhanced to support new features and additional metrics:

ETL Module	Enhancement
Hitachi Device Manager ETL for Helix Capacity Optimization	The method used to collect metrics for Volumes is now performed in a single request to make it faster. Added “ST_DISK_TYPE” metric to Storage Pool entities. This configuration metric refers to the Disk Type and Disk RPM of the given Parity Group. Increased default timeout for REST requests up to 1 hour.
Storage All-in-One ETL for Helix Capacity Optimization 1.5.00	Support of Hitachi G Series (REST API). Support of Pure Storage (REST API v2.4+)
Storage All-in-One ETL for Helix Capacity Optimization 1.5.00	The content of the Timeout log file has been cleaned up to make it clearer.
Storage All-in-One ETL for Helix Capacity Optimization 1.5.00	The Storage Engine performance has been improved to avoid Java “Out of Memory” issues.
