1st off, who decided to change the name of DFM to OM? Microsoft already had operations manager, now SCOM. I always have to say, OM, formally DFM.. ok, done ranting.
I need to report on metrics for our storage, and I am still trying to get the requirements (half the battle). I have been playing with extracting the data from the OM ASA database, and trying to get it into crystal reports to make it look "dashboard'ish" to no avail. I just see numbers, and no aggregate names, vol names, etc.
We currently use Sharepoint 2003, DFM 3.7, all windows servers with CIFS shares.
I would like to have some sort of automated extract from OM and push into our sharepoint site for my storage metrics.
I called Netapp support (which is REALLY good btw), but I was given the "you have to work with PS" shoulder.
Has anyone done this? What are people using? Suggestions?
let me know what you want to trap and i will showyou how to do it
we trap metrics for a few hundrer tb's and about 25 clustered filers.
