Virtual Connect network and SAN I/O stats?
We have a C7000 chassis with several B465C blades, and four Ethernet and two SAN Virtual Connect modules. We're running VMWare 4 on the blades, and lately we've been running into some performance issues. I'm looking into the various pieces (VMWare ,the SAN switch, etc.), and I was wanting to see if there was anything on the chassis end that will show me any I/O statistics or if the Virtual Connect modules are having any connection issues. The virtual connect system log doesn't show any problems.

Re: Virtual Connect network and SAN I/O stats?
* For Virtual connects, to obtain the logs:
Collect the following files from the VC Manager tools menu:
Backup Domain Configuration-Used when restoring the configuration in a test lab.
System Log ├в Gives a quick impression what is going on the VC
Export System Information ├в This is the VC Dump file required for analysis if something goes wrong. This file can be decrypted with a special tool and shows all the log files from the VC modules.
3) For C-class enclosure Switches, Extract the Showall report:%%%
Go to the OA GUI>Enclosure settings > Configuration Scripts > fill the URL of the file in the URL box:ftp://iss:tools@hprc.external.hp.com/showall.txt
and the hit APPLY button. The commands in the file showall.txt will be downloaded and executed in the GUI and the result will be visible in a new pop up window. You can easily copy this into a notepad text editor.
post here ::::
also is every thing updated firmware wise according according to blades matrix
hint ..click on the compatibility tab

Re: Virtual Connect network and SAN I/O stats?
The virtual connect system log mainly shows a whole bunch of warnings
"VCM Remote session is invalid or has expired hpvcd:showManagedObjects ([UNKNOWN]@[LOCAL])"
followed by
VCM remote request has no security header : hpvcm:retrieveStateChangeCounters ([UNKNOWN]@[LOCAL])
I'm not sure exactly what those mean.
I did the "export support information", but it hasn't come back yet. You said it needs a special tool, is that tool something I can download, or do I need to open a ticket with HP?

goto here

click on Compatability.
And the way to thank people and close a forum question down is to ASSIGN POINTS and then close the thread.

Re: Virtual Connect network and SAN I/O stats?
So at this point, is the only way to see the virtual connect port statistics to have HP analyze the "export service information" files?
As for our original issue, the VMWare conversions going slow, it looks like it was just a transitory issue with the various jobs that the servers were running. The stats from the SAN switch and storage array weren't showing any problems, and we did some testing yesterday, and some conversions last night, and everythign is working OK.

Re: Virtual Connect network and SAN I/O stats?
if you are having a problem with the "export support information" it could be that you have an issue with one of the virtual connects.. maybe the IP address is incorrectly configured?
Are you running a single enclosure or have multiple enclosures stacked?
Best thing to do is download the virtual connect support utility, and run:
vcutil -a healthcheck -i "ip of active VC" -u "username" -p "password".. that will run a check on your enclosure..
See if you get any failures?
And YES... it seems that only HP can diagnose our issues as ALL important info is within that support export... and its unreadable!!

Re: Virtual Connect network and SAN I/O stats?
For network traffic you can always enable port monitoring and use software on the monitoring device to study the traffic.
hope that helps, to echo other posters be sure to assign points to the responses when returning to view your post! Even if you feel the post was worthless, I think "0 points" is still an option ;)
