Hi Avi,      dfm only identifies the file type that are listed in the below cli. dfm srm filetype list Go to your servers and do a ls -l in linux/solaris environment and dir in windows environment to find out the file types Now do a diff between the dir or ls-l and the output of the dfm srm filetype list. And add each of the file types that are in the server where you are doing a srm file walk to dfm using the below cli. dfm srm filetype add Regards adai ... View more

Hi Rich, You can also use the cli which does the same thing as the UI which Ehrhart mentioned. dfm host password set help NAME set -- modifies the password of local user on storage system/vFiler. SYNOPSIS dfm host password set [ -u ... ] DESCRIPTION -n: if specified, password will be modified only on direct members of the group. -t: type of appliances whose password needed to be changed. The valid values for -t type option are :'filer' and 'vFiler'. -R: Maximum number of retries. -u: local user name on the host. Applicable only for storage system and vFiler. -o: old password of the local user on the host. Applicable only for storage systems and vFilers. This option is mandatory in the following cases: 1) For storage systems running Data ONTAP version less than 7.0. 2) For all vFilers. 3) For storage systems without login set. 4) For users not having DFM.Console.Execute capability. When specified, old password is always considered. -p: specifies the new password. dfm host password save help NAME save -- update user-name and password for one or more applainces in the DataFabric Manager server.

Hi bipul, I think his question is, is there a way I can delete the data collected for volume TEST1 so that PA starts collecting for volume test1. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Mike, As I said earlier, use the zapi to set your custom views as default one. So doesn’t that solve your use case? Regards adai ... View more

This sounds like a bug, but did you try renaming the volume differently not just from upper case to lower case. Regards adai ... View more

Operation Manager support creation of reports that have performance fields whose data come from Perf Advisor.Below is the list of some canned reports that are availabe. I found the ability to export the canned graphs, but can operations manager (or performance advisor) export the graph image outside of the canned views.  The graphs can be saved as images via the NMC but the customer would like to export multiple graphs on a weekly basis via the command line.? There is no way in the cli to save a view/graph in NMC. Yes use the below cli to do the same. dfm perf view retrieve [ -a <appliance-name-or-id> | -g <group-name-or-id> ] [ -o <perf-object> ] [ -i <perf-instance> ] <view-name> <starttime> <endtime> Will this allow me to export the image file (similar to dfm graph) for data collected via Performance Advisor? No.This will help you retrive the data presented in the view but not as an image file regards adai ... View more

Hi Mike, I am not clear on this question. Can you give an example? Are you saying you want make the default views as custom views? If so why? What is that you are trying to achieve. Regards adai ... View more

1) Is there a way to export graphs on counters not already graphed in Operations Manager (specifically NFSv3 Latency) over a one week period Yes. Operation Manager support creation of reports that have performance fields whose data come from Perf Advisor.Below is the list of some canned reports that are availabe. # dfm report list | grep -i perf   storage-system-performance-summary performance summary of storage system   storage-system-NAS-performance-summary NAS performance summary of storage system   storage-system-SAN-performance-summary SAN performance summary of storage systems   aggregates-performance-summary performance summary of aggregate   volumes-performance-summary performance summary of volume   volumes-NAS-performance-summary NAS performance summary of volume   volumes-SAN-performance-summary SAN performance summary of volume   qtrees-performance-summary performance summary of Qtree   luns-performance-summary  performance summary of LUN   disks-performance-summary performance summary  of Disks   array-luns-performance-summary performance summary  of array LUNs   events-perf               show current performance events   events-history-perf       show all historic performance events   vfiler-performance-summary performance summary of vFilers # And these can be viewed aggregated on day,week month etc. To get a week view use the cli as below. dfm report view -P 1w storage-system-performance-summary The custom reports have catalogs specific to performance which can be viewed using the dfm report catalog list command. Like dfm report catalog list -A volume will show all fields including performance. dfm report catalog list -P volume will show only performance fields. 2) Is there a way to export graphs in Performance Advisor, I would like to export the graph rather than the raw data Yes use the below cli to do the same. dfm perf view retrieve [ -a <appliance-name-or-id> | -g <group-name-or-id> ] [ -o <perf-object> ] [ -i <perf-instance> ] <view-name> <starttime> <endtime> 3) What export options are available in the Performance Advisor CLI (dfm perf) to export the raw data so I can run a post process in perl to provide the customer an end to end solution You can either use the below cli to export the data dfm perf data export [ -s <start-time> ] [ -e <end-time> ][ -m <maximum-file-size> ]  [ <object>[ =<export-file-directory> ] ...] Or take a look at the below TR which give details about exporting PA data. Access to DataFabric Manager and Performance Advisor Data Using Database Access and Data Export As an additional question, with earlier versions of DFM there was a "Advanced Guide" that provided examples of the CLI functionality.  Does this exist with DFM 4.0? USe the man pages which give complete details about each cli and its options. The man can be accessed from the web-ui of operations manager. Contorl-Center->Help->General Help->Man Pages.

Hi avi, The following cli give the list of file type that are recognized in dfm. dfm srm file type list Do a ls –l *. Or dir To find the list of file types in your environment and find out the diff.

Hi Mike,      As harish said there is no cli, but this can be done through the api using the DFM SDK. Below is the api for doing the same. <perf-set-default-view> <object-name-or-id>784</object-name-or-id> <view-name>Top Aggregates</view-name> </perf-set-default-view> Let me know if this helps or if you need more help.
