Do you know of any other methods by which we can monitor our E-Series? There is no SCOM Management Pack, not ActiveIQ integration, etc.   So when we have a system/disk/etc. failure, we need to solely rely on the e-mail alerts that the SANtricity OS sends, which gets many times swallowed up with all of the other million mails we get per day. What do you do? ... View more

If a "RAID1 volume" exists under a DDP(RAID Level 6), clicking an array operation (Add Capacity, View/Edit Settings) will cause a controller reset. Does anyone know anything about this issue?

Two of our E-Series certificates have expired. We would now like to have our internal CA issue two new ones. However, since September 2024, our colleagues at the CA have required CSR requests with a length of 4096 bits. Can the length of 4096 bits be set in the SANtricity environment? Or are the CSR requests always issued with 2048 bits? ... View more

Customers who want to know how much storage is being used (total allocated capacity across pools or volume groups) should refer to usedSpace in the information retrieved by the Web Services API (ReastAPI). (Python example) uri = "https://{0}:{1}{2}{3}/storage-pools/{4}".format(     self.ip_addr,     self.port,     '/devmgr/v2/storage-systems/',     system_id,     uuid) result = requests.get(      uri,      auth=(self.user, self.passwd),      verify=False,      timeout=20.0 ) used_capacity = result['usedSpace'] The customer informs us that the usedSpace value fluctuates slightly even though the volume is not being extended, created, or written to storage. (Question 1) Is there any calculation for usedSpace above other than the amount of storage allocated by the customer in WebGUI? For example, does it include metadata or snapshot copy data? (Question 2) If the above information includes metadata and snapshot information, what information would you look for to get only the amount that the customer has explicitly assigned that does not include it? ...
