FM Server Trap Registration MDS Can forward events up to 10 Destinations. At the time of fabric discovery, FM Server registers with each MDS in the Fabric as a recipient of SNMP events. Device Manager can also be a recipient of SNMP events. SNMP Events can be forwarded to a NOC, and destinations can be configured via GUI or CLI.Device Manager

FM Client No TrapsStatus message No Traps would appear under two conditions: FM Server failed to register with the switch as the list of 10 destinations is full. FM Server failed to query its IP address, this can be addressed by providing an IP address in the web client under Admin / Configure / Preferences / trap.registeraddre ss, This a rare occurrence.

SNMP ProxyIn Firewall situations, enable SNMP Proxy so that all SNMP calls to the MDS from Device Manager and Fabric Manager are tunneled via the FM Server. When SNMP Proxy is enabled, Software Upgrade option on FM Clients working from behind the firewall will not work, as that functionality depends on FM client establishing a direct connection with the switch, and cli output parsing.Device Manager

Historic Performance - Flows (1 of 4) Flows provide important information about SAN traffic patterns (top talkers) FM Performance Collection collects flow statistics based on source destination combination. Source and Destination can be on different switches. First generation line cards support about 1000 flows per module, second generation line cards support 2000 flows per module. As flow collection is based on source and destination FCIDs, recommend persistent FCIDs enabled.

Historic Performance - Flows (3 of 4) Flow Performance Collection is a two step process, and need to be configured from the FM Client. Flow configuration setup has to be repeated for each VSAN.
The option Type refers to the collection process. Recommend that flows are collected both ways. FMS server is smart to consolidate the data at the time of reporting. Checking the Clear old flows on modified switches option purges all old data related to the fcid. Please select this option with careful consideration. Once selected, no way to restore lost the data. The option Create flows on all cards, gives flexibility for physical port to be moved to another module on the same switch.

Performance Data Collection FM Server collects flow information once every 5 minutes. This interval cannot be changed. Performance data collected every 5 minutes is saved in flat files with an rrd extension under the ...pm\db directory.
Every hour a background process consolidates the data to the database. To limit the size of database, performance data collected is retained for a finite period time. The length of data retention can be configured to customers needs. Longer retention periods of data will require larger disk space. Default configurations are5 minute interval samples for 48 hours 30 minutes samples for 14 days 120 minute samples for 2 months One day samples for 300 days
Using default retention periods, each flow takes 115KB of disk space. By default ISL interfaces statistics are also collected once every 5 minutes. The time interval can be modified to as low as once every 30 seconds.Presentation_ID 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential

Database Sizing To limit the size of database, performance data collected is retained for a finite period time. FM Server collects flow information once every 5 minutes. This interval cannot be changed. ISL statistics can be configured to collect in 30 second intervals. Default, once every 5 minutes. Configure data retention periods based on need. Longer retention periods of data will require larger disk space. Default configurations are5 minute interval samples for 48 hours 30 minutes samples for 14 days 120 minute samples for 2 months One day samples for 300 days
