I am just starting to use OnCommand, Standard edition of DataFabric Manager server, version 5.1.0.15008 (5.1) Cluster-Mode, on a Win2008R2 SP1 x64 system.
OnCommand is able to query/get information about the system - I am seeing volume changes and events reflected in OnCommand.
I am testing out reports, at this time Qtrees: Detailed Reports -> Storage capacity -> Capacity -> Qtrees.
Unfortunately the report is empty, "No records to display"; which I know to be false.
I try the same report in Operations Manager, same empty result, "There are no qtrees."
I have four clusters which have been successfully added to OnCommand. I have them setup as four different Groups under Global.
At this time I am testing against one of those clusters/Groups: Cluster02.
I having a hard time locating exactly what is needed for OnCommand to query the storage system (e.g. cluster login, using method X with these rights).
Am I missing a good manual somewhere - I have the "Operations_Manager_Administration_Guide" and "Installation_and_Setup_Guide" from the ocum51docs download, all other documents in that download say 7-Mode.
The default snmpv1 (planning on changing to v3) seems to be able to query for volumes - but not for qtrees?
Assuming snmpv1 was not able to view Qtrees I tried a cluster user login.
First create user, with http method:
sec login create -username dfm-user -application http -authmethod password -role readonly
Then set OnCommand to user that user:
Storage tab, Clusers, highlight Cluster02, and click edit. Under the Management Options section, I enter the dfm-user and password, set transport to HTTP. Login to http://ClusterIP as that user successfully (i.e. verified login works), and can list qtrees (left side, volume, qtree, manage, lists them all under their respective volume).
However, no qtrees in OnCommand (neither Console nor Operations Manager). Also - there was a "Host Login Failed" event with source Cluster02-00, which prompted me to:
try https, no qtrees in OnCommand (after changing transport to HTTPS). Test https://ClusterIP, can login. Note - we have self signed certs for https at this time.
try adding ontapi to applications for that user. no qtrees in OnCommand.
try adding ssh to applications for that user. verify ssh manually, ssh to cluster, vol qtre show... shows all the qtrees. no qtrees in OnCommand.
I was looking at the Operations Manager Diagnostics page, and see the list of Installed Plugins, lots of versions of "Storage System Config #.#.# (#.#.#) - storage systems and vFilers", but no other types of plugins. Is there a plugin needed to see Qtrees? Is there a ClusterMode plugin needed (anytime I see vFiler I have to wonder if that is ClusterMode aware).

Summarizing my questions:
- Am I missing a good manual?
- Should the snmpv1 login be able to query for qtrees? If not, what type of user is needed? Cluster? One for each vServer? more than read-only? what method(s)?
- If a cluster user is needed, and the appliation method is HTTPS - could the self-signed certs be an issue?
- Is the "XML (http port 443) HTTP POST - failed, status code = 0" in the host diag pertinent? (dfm-user is only read-only so I do not think this is a surprising error)
- Is there a plugin needed to see Qtrees? Is there a ClusterMode plugin needed (anytime I see vFiler I have to wonder if that is ClusterMode aware)
Just to make this post even longer here's another question: What is the difference between Operations Manager and OnCommand console? Is OpMgr just the older interface, which still has all the capabilities, but is/will be replaced by Console?
Thanks for any suggestions or questions answered.
